The antigun crowd likes to spin all sorts of things as constituting support for gun control.

We have a local guy who has to run as a Republican (beause he is one) in a State Senate district that has a large leftwingtard contingent.

He wins by giving them lipservice on guns, but so far I don't recall that he's ever voted for any gun control bills since this is Virginia and gun control never comes up for a vote!

The leftwingtards appear to be satisfied with it.

Senator Brown probably has the same situation in Massachusetts.

Senator Brown probably has the same situation in Massachusetts.

Probably. You may recall that there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth on FR when Dubya said he'd sign the AWB renewal if it made it to his desk. He knew the GOP-controlled congress wouldn't let that happen.

That's politics. Many 2A supporters wanted him to come out and say "no way, no how," but he chose to achieve the same means without expending additional political capital.
