I will not be able to vote for someone that is going to support attempts to restrict my firearms ownership.
You have heard incorrectly. There are a couple of stories going around from people who will never be satisifed that a candidate or politician actually thinks something through.
See this post from last year regarding the Assault Weapons Ban.
P8riot can clarify this, but I also believe there was concern last year over a vote regarding allowing gun manufacturers to be sued. If not that it was another 2nd Amendment issue.
On the surface it looked as though Allen was anti-2nd Amendment in his vote, and the usual suspects were up in arms (so to speak). But when you looked at the bill, his reason for voting against it was that Feinswine inserted an amendment to reauthorize the Assault Weapons Ban.
Bottom line, when you have the facts you won't have to worry about George Allen and the 2nd Amendment.
Hes so anti 2nd amendment he passed a pretty permissive CCW law when he was governor of virginia, much to the shrieking of democrats.
