dont be a dumbass
Didn't Warner just almost lose his Senate seat? Is this what he read from that- Warner did not veer far enough to the left?
One can probably thank Libertarian Robert Sarvis for this. 
Yeaaaaa WTG 3rd party *******.
Yeaaaaa WTG 3rd party *******.Why would anyone believe that McAulffie wouldn't attempt to further the gun control agenda in Virginia?

dont be a dumbass
Because I support the 2nd amendment and bought my first gun right before I ran for office!!
ETA: Hard for me to see this getting through the R legislature.

"He would also prohibit gun shows from advertising their exclusion from the background check law in hope of discouraging criminals from buying guns this way."
I don't think i've been to a gun show yet where they had an exclusion from background checks. More ignorant and misleading hyperbole. I'm disgusted when the news and politicians (from BOTH sides) blow crap out of proportion if not outright lie to get their agenda done. If one has to lie or scream or deceive or misstate something to get their agenda passed, it's probably not worth of passing.

It sucks that this moron got elected. Thankfully, he can't write laws all by himself.
His "proposal" is nothing more than political posturing. It has no chance of passing, but now liberals can run ads saying "So-and-so supporting allowing gun shows to advertise a lack of background checks to convicted felons!"
The trouble is he's giving the imbeciles in the General Assembly here across the Potomac ideas. Since it appears getting their own is a strain.

Connecting the dots ...
Does anyone else get the feeling that there is a concerted effort to 'strike while the iron is still hot' for MORE gun control. Given that the tide turned IN FAVOR of 2A with the 2014 elections, I think that the antis are making a last ditch attempt to sway public opinion and legislatures BEFORE the new regime takes office, thus putting them immediately on the defensive.
It's too much of a coinky-dink that new anti-gun groups seem to be coming out of the woodwork along with local, state, and national politicians making gun-grab rumblings like McAwful in VA ... even WITH the recent Pew Research paper noting Pro-2A sentiment is higher now than it's been in 20 years.

Don't worry, pretty soon people will not sell to those in Virginia just like they will not sell to Md., California, etc.. Those people are the ones who are helping the anti's and don't even realize it!

Don't forget to thank Bob McDonald for his royal FU and then all the Establishment RINOs that couldn't support Ken Cuccinelli because he was too Conservative, Tea Party, Right2Life, DOMA, yadda, yadda, yadda

A little quick on the knicker-knotting, aren't we??
A couple things...
This is not unexpected. Brownstain would be doing the same here (and O'MAO still could).
It's timed for the anniversary of Sandy Hook. Heartstring Concerto.
These are only proposals, and the assembly in VA is still pretty darned red.
Unless something big happens, I can't see this going anywhere (provided the conservatives stand up to the NoVA media barrage you know will come).

Don't count on it, the Commonwealth is at least a few decades away from any type of stuff we've seen here in this state. Considering how strong the 2A has been in the last handful of years, I doubt VA would ever go full retard.
VA population combined with a lot more rural conservative counties, and a conservative filled legislator. Of course, everything is subject to change, after all, they did elect Mcauliffe. The third party shenanigans and people who just don't vote helped that.

Blah, Blah, Blah...
McDouche can say anything he wants to raise money in Arlington VA (AKA "The Blue Lagoon").
No one but the Washington Post is listening.
GOP controls both houses of the legislature. By a 2:1 margin in the lower house.
His legislative agenda is DoA.
He might as well introduce legislation to provide the State police with unicorns.
It's called divided government, and it works.

Gun control is the big unchecked box on liberals' to-do list. They figure the lame duck session is their last chance.
Great. I actually have to work with McAuliffe (as in face-to-face) AND I'm moving to VA in March. I always knew that he was an anti, but as long as he didn't attempt to do anything, I was happy to overlook it. Actually, I kinda like the guy...he seem very hands-on, and pragmatic in his approach to solving problems. He's far better than Owe'Malley in that respect.
Now that he's pushing his anti agenda, working with him and his staff is going to be hard. Luckily I don't have to do it often.
