Nice to see coverage of the politics of Second Amendment rights. The more the people are informed, the more we win.

That's good news.
"Gun rights advocates don't typically engage in democratic politics."
But many of the working class Democrats are actually in favor of their Second Amendment rights, and firearms are in style. That's part of the reason for the shortages and part of the reason for recent failures by the Democrat elite to get some of their legislators to pass anti-Second-Amendment bills.

Before any nation is taken over, the guns must be taken from the people. Our nation is in grave danger, greater than ever before right now.

I think I’ll probably vote for Deeds. He is from Virginia and should be pretty good on guns.

Let’s give those good ol boys a “high five”

Apparently not as good as Moran, according to those who would know best... the gun-owners associations. Remember that the NRA has a serious history of compromising our rights, not sticking up for them. They have endorsed legislation and candidates that are ANATHEMA to the interests of gun-owners.

I do hope y’all are just talking about the primary and not the general election.

Fair enough. But I do believe Deeds will be the most difficult to defeat in the general.
Just sayin’.
And, regadless of what this group says NONE OF THE DEMS will be your “friend” on guns.

61 dems are telling obama to take a flying leap in case he starts his gun control agenda.
So far the NRA’s strategy for ending the us vs. them seems to be working.
By the way, thanks to the NRA for the Chicago lawsuit.

The ONLY reason any of this talk is going on is to keep Terry McAwful as far away from the governor’s mansion as possible.

All I'm saying is that from the experience of Freepers telling me Timmy the Eyebrow would be "okay" on guns that they should look at his real record as governor. Being the chief executive is different than serving in Congress and Senate.
The Washington Times, April 1, 2009
EDITORIAL: Anti-reason on guns Kaine vetoes five bills despite evidence as well as public support
When Tim Kaine campaigned for Virginia governor in 2005, he ran an ad implying that former National Rifle Association President Charlton Heston was praising him. His campaign claimed that "Tim Kaine strongly supports the Second Amendment." Once he won office, Mr. Kaine vetoed one gun bill after another that would have helped Virginians protect themselves from criminals.
So, I'm just sayin', use this info to vote how you may in the primary. But in the general election, if you believe any of the Democrat three are your "friend" concerning guns, you're just fooling yourself.

The GOP held their convention last week, not a primary.
Bob McDonnell, former Attorney General (resigned to campaign) for Governor
Bill Bolling, Current Lt. Governor for re-election
Ken Cuccinelli, State Senator, for Attorney General
One of the most solidly conservative tickets we’ve had in several cycles.

For the primary, it’s a toss up. Pick a poll and you’ll find a different leader.
For the general, McDonnell typically leads all three. But he’s been the unofficial nominee for months now, so that has to factor into it.

He’s not perfect. But he’s pretty solidly conservative. He’ll be a good governor.

“Hes not perfect.”

You know, I think that is part of “our” problem;
if a guy (or gal) ain’t like Regan resurrected,
then everybody wants to jump on their imperfections
and self-destruct, so that we never get anywhere.
