Geee, it's such a good thing we didn't elect those scary "So-Cons" as Governor and Lt. Governor.
Sure dodged a bullet there.
Believe it or not, agree with it or not, there are those here in VA and elsewhere for whom firearms rights are not the be-all/end-all of political-electability considerations.
Apparently those people outnumbered the others.
Not like the R's here put any great effort into looking like attractive candidates.
