Democratic Virginia Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe has appointed Lori Haas, the Virginia State Director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, to his 54-member bipartisan transition team.
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violenceopposes the “insurrectionist ideology” of the National Rifle Association and supports banning so-called “assault weapons,” as well as rolling back concealed carry laws, according to its website.
During the Virginia gubernatorial election, McAuliffe said he supported Colorado’s gun-control measures that resulted in the recall of two state senators.
McAuliffe’s stances earned him an “F” rating from the NRA. The NRA spent more than $500,000 against McAuliffe in the election.
Yes, the gun control lobby's candidate was able to win this time by spending twice as much as the NRA. So they just had to out do their opponents at the big money game. Does this mean they'll stop blaming the big money of the NRA for the political support they receive? Likely not.

He won. What's the point of mentioning that he outspent his opponent. That doesn't change anything.
DeleteWhat you've got here is a harbinger of things to come.
Why did you think mentioning how much Bloomberg spent was pertinent? As to whether he is a wave of the future, there is that possibility. Time will tell.
DeleteYeah, that'll go over well in the Republican-led legislature. Lori Haas? McCauliffe's showing his hatred of gun owners by that selection. Look forward to his term being one of constant battles.
