Gun-safety group backed by Michael Bloomberg targets Sturtevant in $700,000 ad buy

A critical race in the battle for control of the Virginia Senate has entered a new dimension for state legislative races with a national gun-control group’s announcement that it is buying $700,000 of political advertisements for Democrat Daniel A. Gecker in his race for the 10th District seat in Richmond and its suburbs. Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, backed by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said Wednesday it will begin airing a television ad today in the Richmond media market that features the father of Alison Parker, a 24-year-old Roanoke television reporter gunned down with her cameraman, Adam Ward, by a former colleague on Aug. 26 at Smith Mountain Lake.

This is for control of Virginia Senate. $700,000 anti-gun TV buy is as much money as the GOP, NRA endorsed candidate has raised through last month. NRA gave $56,000!

Mr. Parker’s daughter was killed by a man whose goal was to kill unarmed white people. He succeeded. Now her father wants to take away guns from people trying to defend themselves from such monsters. What a tool. A very useful idiot.

So, how do these gun-grabbers intend to enforce their new gun-grabbing laws?

Why, with EVYL GUNS, of course!

See, they are not anti-Gun.

They are pro-tyranny.

Gun safety? Can they so much as recite the 4 Rules?
Didn’t think so.

Serious business with T-Mac in office as governor. Hope the 2A’s in this district all vote & get their family/friends to vote as well. Maybe the NRA should get some phone calls ..... $65K vs $700K is a large differential (surely they can do better?) and T-Mac would love to do some gun-grabbing. He’s already issued EOs & going after open carry & CCW where he can.

These hoplophobes know NOTHING of “gun safety”. How could they? Most have never fired a gun, much less taken a class or even learned the Four Rules. They are just trying to co-opt one of our terms and use it against us, Alinsky-style.

What a thoroughly evil man. Not stupid. Not ignorant. Evil. People who want to disarm you are people who want evil to befall you. They may even intend to commit the evil themselves ...

Simply run ads showing how much money is being thrown at the election to buy it.

Does anyone like the thought of purchased elections?
