I am not so sure - if Kilgore pushes away VCDL during campaign why would he work with VCDL to pass gun bills?
The NRA isn't pushing any good gun bills - they are purely defensive. Occasionally they get a gun makers protection bill passed but that is about it.
The Republicans will put pro-gun bills on Kaines desk - I doubt that Kilgore's advisors will allow bills to ever get to his desk as he is following the Gilmore model.
*whatever*
