Gun-control fan Terry McAuliffe buys gun
http://www.wnd.com/ ^

Posted on 01/08/2013 4:33:05 PM PST by jakerobins

Just because Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is pushing for an assault weapons ban and one-gun-a-month restriction in the Old Dominion doesn’t mean he’s opposed to slinging lead.

In fact, the former Democratic Party chairman is one of Virginia’s newest gun owners, the proud papa of a sleek Beretta over and under shotgun, the standard of excellence at the area’s skeet ranges.

Secrets first heard of his purchase over the weekend from shoppers at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Bailey’s Crossroads who saw the likely Democratic gubernatorial nominee shouldering one of the pricy long guns.

mcauliffe’s ace in the hole is he, like most other top end democrats, knows a good mad bomber ~ the Algore does, and so does Obama, and then there’s Bill Clinton who has dozens at his beck and call. you work your way down the porking order in that crowd you will find many other bomber/politician relationships.

A C-note for a used mag? I’m proud to say I’ve never spent a penny with these clowns and will keep it that way.

"the standard of excellence at the area’s skeet ranges..."

This author is apparently not into shotgun shooting sports. As the proud dad of a 2 time All-American (trap); IMHO the standard of excellence is a Perazzi. Others may argue a Kriegoff. Beretta makes a nice gun but few top shooters would use them if not for their agressive sponsor program.

I’ll by the expensive stuff for practice and keep the armory stocked.

Perhaps Di Fi can show him the finer points on how to handle a weapon...or how to manage a rowdy press conference.
