VA Candidate McAuliffe Anti-Gun?

VA is a battleground state. So guns don't matter as much, while other things (social issues) do.

And unfortunately Ken has dug himself into a hole and pushed female voters towards Terry.

If the gun owners/pro 2A people don't do their part to vote for Ken in this election, then they are fools. I'd expect Terry to roll back gun legislation/impose new regulations/restrictions fairly soon.

It'll help, but you can't blame this one all on the left.

Ken had a slam dunk issue; pedophilia. Everyone hates pedophilia. The court threw out a law about oral sex. They told him it would be ok to write a law that specifically targets minors and adults.

Instead; he went off on trying to appeal the ruling of the court, and giving the media the perfect headline to frame him as another Republican more obsessed with sexual activities between adults than anything.

At least their legislature is still largely pro gun. I'm not sure the VA governor has much power to influence gun laws on his own.

Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli correctly stated more gun control would not have prohibited that shooting and that shooters like the killer in that instance, Seung-Hui Cho, are "almost impossible" to find before they decide to start shooting. McAuliffe replied, "Some People should not own guns." He then defended his gun control proposals, saying: "I don't care what grade I got from the NRA. I never want to see another Newtown or Aurora or Virginia Tech again."
