I see. That makes your anecdote more valuable, as Virginia is indeed a swing state where gun control backlash has been cited as a factor in recent Republican victories.
And if the DNC loses Virginia in the 2016 general election, it becomes very difficult for them to get to 270.
If I were you, I would lead with that, rather than trying to extrapolate my own personal experiences onto the national stage.
My interest isn’t so much national politics. Frankly, its a means to an end at best. My passion is RKBA.
The truth is that in spite of our idiot governor, we’re winning on the gun front. We’re winning hearts and minds. People who 5 years ago wouldn’t touch a gun are getting armed. You can’t go to a range on a weekend and not wait in line. Gun dealers are harried but happy. Open carry is no longer rare to see. People are getting it.
We. Are. Winning.
