Quoted: If I'm not mistaken, Kaine sponsored a bus trip to the first Million Mom March while mayor of Richmond.

You are not mistaken. Kaine attempted to use City of Richmond tax dollars to pay for the buses, and the city even cut the check. Virginia gun owners threw a fit and complained to the city council. Council investigated and said, nope, you can't use tax money to send people to lobby Congress, it's illegal, go raise private $ to reimburse the city. Kaine couldn't find any donors, so he had to pay the city back out of his own pocket.
The "Independent" candidate, Russ Potts -

Kilgore's not perfect - what politician is? - but both NRA and GOA rate him highly on gun-rights issues.
