"I don't want [VCDL members] to take it as an insult," he said. "I just want them to look at our records and move beyond this and recognize which candidate is the candidate that supports gun owners' rights. They don't need a survey to decide that."

While I agree that Tucker Martin's comment was, at best, unfortunate, if the VCDL members are serious about their issues then they realize this quote from Kilgore is exactly right.

But, if they think they'd be anywhere better off with Governor Kaine, then perhaps their credibility is indeed suspect.

I think you may not understand dynamics of getting gun rights bills passed in VA.

Typically the Republicans have let the RINOS's and squishs call the shots and keep gun bills from getting a vote. Worse Gilmore supported efforts by squishy republicans to compromise on gun rights - we cn thank Gilmore for having to get fingerprinted in some counties for CHP's.

We got more gun legislation thru in the years with Mark Warner as Gov.
Kaine may not be great on guns (he is about as pro-gun as Rep. Tom Davis IMO)- but if he has any political aspirations he may well act pro-gun once in office.
