I understand the love of guns in Virginia quite well.
Part of the problem is that a lot of people other than true leftists either voted for Northam, or sat out the election. A lot of native Virginians felt more comfortable voting for a homeboy who attended a local military academy rather than a transplant from NJ. That may in part have been a reaction to MacAuliffe.
Well I doubt they will be sitting out the next one. I don’t know what the recall rules are but I’ll sign a petition if it comes my way.
