WV has been red in Presidential races since 2000, both of our Senators are dems, Manchin is a moderate, Rockhead is a big lib/socialist(he’s got his). 2 out of the 3 Rep’s are republicans, one is running for Rockheads vacated seat. I have not heard any anti-gun talk at all coming from the legislature. WV is mostly a rural state in rolling mountains with generally narrow valleys. There is a greater chance that Barretta would move to WV than Magpul,as they seem likely to stay in the mid-Atlantic area, if they leave the Peoples Republic of Maryland
This is not directed at you, but to the state over all. You have to learn collectively what is good for the state. If there was a glint of hope, Mansion would not have won. He just made promises and they continued to believe. People in other states have figured out 40 years ago that Dems LIE! Being from WV doesn't change that. My Dem is better than your Dem just doesn't work anymore. If you don't like Kennedy or Cuomo, then why would you think Mansion would do anything different. Recently, he even started to make noises that he would support the Assault Weapons Ban.
Right before the election, coal miners that were in the process of losing their jobs, turned on Obama. Even the union bosses didn't pick a side to help the miners. Why didn't they hear 4 years earlier that Obama would kill coal? Either they don't believe he would really do it, or they just can't pull the Repub lever. This just shows me that all the gun owners in WV will think they are perfectly safe up until they kick the door in and take their weapons. Mansion will be saying, " We had no choice". Well yes they did.
BTW, this is a problem I have with the NRA. They give money to Dems that "vote right". Well, THEY DON'T VOTE RIGHT OR THEY WOULDN'T BE DEMS.
