Centre-Shot

Moderate Democrats have garnered moderate glory for the moderate virtues of the centre ground in the involuntary-celibate state of Virginia. The state governor has been trying to stop the sale of some varieties of semi-automatic assault weapon, and also to prohibit possession of magazines that enable more than a dozen people to be shot in a single burst. He claims the idea is to help prevent more Americans than absolutely necessary being perforationally disorganised in mass shootings; but of course such measures are merely the thin end of an Islamic Socialist wedge whose terminal extremity is gun control, confiscation of private property, the repeal of the Second Amendment, the triumph of terror, the Crescents and Stripes flying in every back-yard, and camel-crap in Mom's apple pie. In defence of civilised values, the state has been inundated with shooters' rights advocates, including a tribe of alleged white supremacists who allegedly hoped for another civil war, despite the Virgin State's indifferent fortunes in the last one. Accordingly, the moderate Democrats did what any sensible middle-of-the-road politicians would have done: they chose the lesser evil, sided with some colleagues of the Trumpster and his hydrophobic head-tribble, and voted for business as usual.
