Gun Owners Need to Act Now to Defeat Terry McAuliffe

In the last week, Democrat candidate for Governor, Terry McAuliffe, has declared war on law abiding gun owners.  On Monday, he added a section on his campaign web site on the gun control steps he would support:

Support common sense gun control measures

As Governor, Terry will support mainstream and majority supported gun control measures like universal background checks, limiting the size of magazines, and a return to the 1-gun-per-month rule. These measures respect Virginians’ right to bear arms while reducing gun violence.

Then at the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce debate, McAuliffe went further:

Did you hear that? McAuliffe thinks "mail order" purchases are a problem that needs to be addressed and the only way to do that is with so-called "universal" background checks.  Once again, he reads off of the talking points of Mike Bloomberg and the gun ban lobby.  As AWR Hawkins noted yesterday, "mail order" purchases is a myth perpetuated by the gun ban lobby.  Firearms sold over the Internet through sites like Auction Arms or Gallery of Guns.com have to be completed through an FFL just like when you go to a local firearms retailer.

But if gun owners don't act now, we will be hearing blather like this for the next four years in Virginia.  You can help now by contacting the NRA-ILA Field Rep nearest you and volunteer to help with phone banks right in the comfort of your own home.  The list of Field Reps is below:

Terry McAuliffe Wants Colorado Style Gun Control

Brietbart has the story here. 

McAuliffe's website was updated yesterday to mention gun control for the first time.  McAuliffe has come out for so-called "universal" background checks, limiting the size of magazines, and a return to handgun rationing.

The so-called "universal" background checks and limits on the size of ammunition magazines were passed in Colorado earlier this year.

McAuliffe must be feeling confident going into the final month of the campaign to now overtly mention gun control, even though recent polls show him with a lead either within or just outside the margin of error. With tonight's Fairfax Chamber of Commerce debate, one stumble could give additional momentum to Ken Cuccinelli who has gained in the recent polls.

Hopefully this strategy change by McAuliffe will energize gun owners for Cuccinelli.
