Gun ban divides two lawmakers
by Peter Hardin
WASHINGTON -- Two prominent Virginia lawmakers are in the middle of a recurring and emotional congressional fight over repealing the District of Columbia's ban on handgun ownership.
Now, where are those detractors who say Senator Allen is weak on the 2nd Amendment?
Thanks for the ping. Did anyone have a chance to help the ticket this weekend? I heard both George Allen and Jerry Kilgore speak at the Leadership Institute's Conservative Soiree yesterday. They both did a great job. Allen's stump speech is more and more national in tone. The other speakers make references to 2008 but he always stays focused on 2006, so it's a nice tag team routine that works.
Earlier in the day at another event I attended in a fairly blue zone people were scooping up Kilgore balloons and bumperstickers like crazy and signing up to volunteer. It was a good sign!
