Terry McAuliffe Pledges Colorado-Like Gun Control if Elected

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's (D) website was updated Monday to show his commitment to bring Colorado-like gun control to the commonwealth.
In the section titled "Investing in Virginia's Urban Centers," TerryMcAuliffe.com now contains the heading, "Support Common Sense Gun Control Measures."

Under that heading, it says McAuliffe "will support mainstream and majority supported gun control measures like universal background checks, limiting the size of magazines, and a return to the 1-gun-per-month rule."

The limitation on magazine capacity is a Colorado-like gun control measure that will put law-abiding Virginians at a disadvantage the moment it is enacted. This is because criminals will not obey it but will keep their "high-capacity" magazines so they can outgun their victims.


Universal background checks will mean an end to private gun sales in the state of Virginia, as they did in Colorado. This happens because Virginians will have to get the government's permission, via a background check, in order to sell or buy a firearm. 

In addition, the universal background check mechanism will allow a McAuliffe governorship to control how many guns Virginians can or cannot buy each month—thus the pledge to "return to the 1-gun-per-month rule."

Once similar gun control measures passed in Colorado, upset citizens successfully recalled two State Senators behind the legislation within months.

I consider Virginia gun laws already harsh so this would be horrible for people there. Thats said if you haven't followed the race there, The repub had a bad summer but has gained ground recently based on fund rasing etc. He's lost some base to the libertarian candidate but this might and could turn the race. McAuliffe is another lib douchbag thats done nothing.
