There is no question that our two Senators are both strong on the 2A.

There is also no question that they have a different opinion from TFRED on health care, and Holder and Sotomayor. (Or at least I hope so, looking at some of Webb's recent procedural votes on health care). But to my mind those are not really gun issues.

This is not political "clever"ness --this is where these guys are at.
Webb and Warner are fairly marginal 2A supporters. The Virginia Congressional Dems sound more like they are from Massachusetts or California than from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Before you disagree Donkey - 1 word - Scott.

Scott? You mean Bobby?!

Seems like Boucher, Warner and Webb are cut from somewhat different cloth on these issues.
