I guess he's my only option for Governor. Do y'all know if he is really pro-2nd Amendment?
I know nothing about the guy, and haven't been to a VA "Shad Planking" in some 40 years. Natives know what shad planking is. ETA: "Shad Planking" is an annual Virginia political event where you might be able to catch a candidate off script and find out what their real position is on a given issue. |

Lives in the extreme Northern part of Fairfax County. Take it for what its worth.

Well he is from Virginia and not Tennessee like Virginia’s most ardent gun grabbers Herring and Levine. Nor New York like that shitbag Terry. I just wish we could get rid of our turds like Tennessee did.

He’s not going to win, so it doesn’t really matter.
Support your local Pro-gun HoD candidate. It’s more important to retake that. |

[#5]
Youngkin says he owns a shotgun and a "9mm" so I think he is at best a novice gunowner.
So far he has not made any anti-gun compromising statements & has charisma in person. He seems to have a hunger for the office and has the same advantage that McAwful has - lots of personal $$$ to throw into the race. |

Quoted: He didn't fill out the VCDL survey if that tells you anything. View Quote Yea I don't believe any "politician" really does. Take Kathy Byron, my delegate. She refuses to fill one out, sent a reply email to me about how extreme the VCDL is (or something like that, it's been a couple of years), how she disagrees with their all or none approach, yet I believe she constantly votes pro gun. She is what I consider a typical moderate "W" type republican, same with Youngkin. Probably wouldn't sign an AWB, but would suck the cock of RFL and UBC's, of course we already have those now. Youngkin has no chance against fast terry 2.0. We need one chamber that has enough pro gun GOP to out weigh some of the moderate GOP assholes (we had 2 phaggots vote in favor of UBC's even though it would have passed without GOP support in the Senate). |

Quoted: We need to fully get behind Lee Carter. View Quote I get what you are saying, but to politically empower a a guy that wants to use said guns directly against you is nuts. I'd rather not add to the election process distrust and there are more people that would vote for him under your premise that would chicken out when he comes after us. Fuck that! |

I left AG blank View Quote Can you please provide the rationale for Carter? That's akin to those that wanted to team up with Antifa when they were probing the 2020 Lobby Day. Sinc a few here seem to really like Carter, explain it, b/c so far it appears like a really stupid decision. |

Quoted: I simply will not vote for a candidate who won't. He was dead last on my primary ballot. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: How does taking the survey help him win? I simply will not vote for a candidate who won't. He was dead last on my primary ballot. Then you guarantee a Fast Terry 2.0 win (which is likely anyway). Take my rep, Byron, she never fills out the survey and in facts dislikes the VCDL's all or nothing approach, but votes consistently pro gun. Do I want her to fill out the survey? sure. But it could be used by the Forest, Bedford Co Karens against her. Just like it would be used against Youngkin. Va is not as pro gun as it used to be. The democrats here are blatantly anti gun and a lot of Va Gun Owners are FUDDS. Youngkin wasn't my choice, but he will have my vote. That's one more that Fast Terry 2.0 has to counter. |

Quoted: I simply will not vote for a candidate who won't. He was dead last on my primary ballot. View Quote And that's great in the primary. In the general, it's time to rally behind the candidate that's not already promised to attack gun owners. Youngkin was not at the top of a lot of people's lists. But he was 2nd or 3rd on enough to beat both the establishment candidate and the "maverick." Youngkin has the money and Terry has the history (and negatives) to make this closer than anyone thinks, but if gun owners decide to sit out because he won't answer VCDL's survey, we're done before the fight even starts. Terry probably has the money and dirt to peel off one or two of the Dem senators that he needs to get all of Lori Haas and Bloomberg's dream bills passed, so NO gun owner should sit this one out. |

Quoted: Maybe the politicians who expect conservative votes should stop virtue signaling to the other side and stand up and loudly proclaim what they believe. View Quote I agree 100% but I defy you to find a Virginia politician with a R behind his or her name to do so and get the nomination as the R candidate. Until then, we have to be willing to take an 80% decent candidate and support them. Waiting for the 100% perfect candidate is futile. It just keeps leaving the opening for the marxist democrats to keep marching in. We have become the circular firing squad we used to laugh at the marxists for being. |

View Quote Is filling out the VCDL survey the only way a candidate can do that? Would you vote for Fast Terry if he filled out the survey "properly" despite all his other bloviation? The fact is, we know FT will advocate for and sign into law any gun control bill that gets to him. In November, one candidate has already shown he's against you, shouldn't fighting that take priority? |

Basically, we have a choice between:

I know what I will do. I don't have to like. I just have to not sit this out. |

We can safely assume that since Youngkin in all apperace, appears to be a bush style republican, that he is not against an AWB but would probably not sign it if he had other political office ideas (ie. Senate, which Warner and Special Timmay have for life) We know Fast Terry 2.0 couldn't jizz his panties fast enough to sign it surrounded by Va Tech dipshits (even though nothing in the AWB would have stopped the Va Tech shooting), the 4th circus has already upheld Md's bullshit, so Va would have a permanent AWB. |

It's astounding that this even a question. On the one hand you have Glenn Youngkin who is still appearing at gun clubs post-nomination and on the other you have Terry Mcauliffe putting out statements promising an AWB and treating Gun owners like we have typhoid.

Youngkin looks like a blank slate conservative where fast Terry has skeletons in the closet. I would imagine his not signing a VCDL pledge keeps that "blank slate" approach till a debate & not meant to be negative on 2A. A good political plan. To beat McAwful you what to "look" middle of the road.
