Former Attorney General and Republican nominee for Governor Jerry Kilgore today received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association. Kilgore welcomed the announcement during a tour of Virginia with NRA Executive Director Wayne LaPierre, who made campaign stops with Kilgore at rallies in Winchester, Weyers Cave, Roanoke, Abingdon and Danville.

Jerry Kilgore is a lifelong supporter of the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. Some of his earliest memories are of learning the respect and use of firearms on his family's farm in his native Scott County, Virginia. Kilgore has received an "A" rating from the NRA's Political Victory Fund.

This is good news - although not unexpected. Kilgore need all the support he can get.

Kaine got an F - also not unexpected.

Kilgore seems to be unwilling to go beyond supporting an unrestricted right for lawabiding citizens to own and possess firearms.

There's a group here in Virginia that focuses on what you can do with your weapons out in public, and they don't like Kilgore. The question is, will they take their marbles and go home, or will they endorse the cryptofascist AlQaida sympathizer who is running as a Democrat.

Only time will tell.
