Careful what you ask for! Va. legislator might force anti-gun Gov. McAuliffe to lead by example

Doug P. | 12:22 PM on December 26, 2015

The Democrats at the top of Virginia’s executive branch continue to attempt to enact gun control measures in that state, and the GOP is fighting back:

Virginia’s radically anti-gun Governor and Attorney General were probably quite pleased with themselves when they spitefully severed concealed carry agreements with 25 states, including all but one of its neighbors.

They probably didn’t anticipate the backlash they’ve received, which includes calls to recall or impeach Attorney General Mark Herring, and pushes for legislation that will both strip elected officials of the ability to make such unilateral decisions, and get a little payback.

Gov. McAuliffe’s anti-gun measures could backfire in a most ironic way:

Nice of the state GOP to try and help the Democrat governor not be a hypocrite. #Bipartisanship

You always hope to see a just reaction to freedoms being trampled. Sometimes it happens. https://t.co/vglyFNRlZn

@Gabby_Hoffman I think all politicians who are for gun control should give up any security that carry guns. #Cashinin #WakeupAmerica
