McAwful went up against very conservative AG Ken Cuccinelli, who was ahead in the polls. You are right, that election smelled to high heaven.

Nevertrumper purists are also responsible here. Every nose-in-the-air noise made about oh, how glorious perfectly righteous _I_ would _NEVER, EVER_ vote for such a heterodox character as Donald, is like a virus waiting to be caught.
I would have to wonder how anybody voted for anyone in days of yore. Did all candidates look like a Daniel or a Virgin Mary until some date decades in the past?

Nothing establishes what “sufficient review” would be. And it is not for the courts to fill that hole. Only the legislature can.

Wanna bet the individual applications will already be filled out and just need a signature? That would be SO handy.

Anything that is petition driven could count under the broad Virginia law, as simply submitting the petition (he cared enough to ask) could be deemed sufficient cause.
We don’t want courts trying to fill holes here in what is a legislative responsibility question. That will take what might be a bad situation and make it worse.

No, he couldn’t do a blanket restoration of their rights. He had to sign each one individually.

Shall not be infringed means exactly what it means.
Taking away gun rights of any American citizen is against the constitution, I don’t care what anyone says.

Why should felons that served their sentence and are working, doing what they gotta do not have rights?
This is America, right?

Unfortunately you thought wrong! All the libs have moved from MD to VA to save on taxes. Then the libs figured out that if they wait until all the conservative districts report their vote totals they can manufacture enough votes to overcome them. How do you think McAuliffe got elected in the first place?

After all, if a felon can run for president, why can't a felon vote?/s

Having paid their debt to society, how can you justify denying constitutional rights?

Shall not be infringed. That’s pretty clear.

regrettably....The Mason-Dixon line has moved further south to the Charlottesville,VA area.........We Virginians refer to it as the 2nd Northern invasion....the 1st being the Civil War.
