Seventh District Democrat Representative Abigail Spanberger likes to say she supports the Second Amendment and even tries to shore up that claim by saying she carried a gun during her time with the CIA and that she grew up with guns in the house. She repeated that line last night during the candidates forum with her opponent, Delegate Nick Freitas.
But like most Democrats who claim to support the Second Amendment, she always has that "but". She has already voted in favor of criminalizing private sales (so-called "universal" background checks), and she supports the usual measures aimed at gun owners, things like laws that take away an individuals firearms without due process ("red flag" laws) and banning modern sporting rifles.
Spanberger has tried real hard to portray herself as a "moderate" who works "across the aisle" with "Democrats and Republicans". You can't turn on the Rush Limbaugh radio program on AM1140 WRVA without hearing her commercials multiple times during the program. The fact that she would even advertise on Limbaugh's program shows that she is trying to convince right leaning voters that she is one of them.
Don't be fooled. Spanberger is no moderate. She votes with Nancy Pelosi 91% of the time. If you live in the 7th Congressional District, vote for Delegate Nick Freitas.
