Those of us in the 30th Senate district of Virginia got a mailing from Libby Garvey in which she claimed gun control as one of her major platform planks.
Libby lost by a wide margin, despite the endorsement of retiring Patsy Ticer (another rabidly anti-gun senator).
Both she and one of her opponents (and eventual winner) Adam Ebbin will try to torpedo another duly elected official (the AG) -- they know better than the majority of voters, of course -- and apparently don't realize the AG cannot make laws.
The point, though, is that even in Northern Virginia, gun-control platforms DON'T APPEAL TO VOTERS. Even Democrats.
