Poor judgement on the part of the hacks that advise him like the time he teamed up publicly with MZ Bradey on the "Anti Assault" weapons bill.

I suppose you have a source for that misstatement?

"This election matters because George Allen says it's okay to bring deadly weapons into recreation centers," said Mrs. Brady. "How can allowing firearms into recreation centers keep our children safe? If George Allen wants to send guns into recreation centers in Virginia, I can't imagine what he will do for our country. Chuck Robb, on the other hand, shows tremendous leadership when he stands up to the gun lobby and he does so time after time."

I may have misstated, it wasn't Mz Brady, it was Mz Feinstein...
In 2000, George Allen publicly proclaimed his intention to RENEW the Clinton-Feinstein Semi-Auto Gun Ban.
Gun Owners in Virginia swung into action to make George Allen feel the heat so he'd see the light . . . and he DID!
George Allen took a second look and did the RIGHT THING by voting AGAINST
These groups are aware of Senator Allen's mottled record on gun rights, but hope he will continue to move in the right direction by doing more as he aspires to more.
But here at a glance are other gun control measures George Allen has supported either now or in the past...

"I have decided…to vote against extension of the 'Assault Weapons Ban.'

"I have taken a position that I would not repeal the existing ban. Therefore logically I would vote to continue the existing law."
-- Senatorial candidate George Allen, as quoted in the September 15, 2000 edition of the Richmond Times Dispatch.

We don't need to pick at each other but focus on keeping Sen Allen from morphing into a RHINO like our (VA) other Senator. We brought him to the dance!
