Youngkin’s campaign, reached for comment, did not directly address the NRA’s endorsement but said Youngkin “will work to make it harder for criminals to get guns.” [More]
Everyone realizes that refusing to comply with citizen disarmament edicts makes you a "criminal," right?
Told you this guy was a weasel. If this is the best Republicans can come up with, let them lose until they field someone acceptable. Because the other way around is much of how we got here.

Pretty much everyone is in favor of "keeping guns out of the wrong hands." But as is often the case, the devil is in the details.
How do you go about determining who those "wrong hands" belong to?
How do you disarm the criminals without disarming the rest of "the People" in the process?
How do you avoid creating more "criminals" while you go about it?
But perhaps most importantly, how do you keep The United States of America from sliding out of the category of governments Jefferson thought just, and into the category of governments he thought needed to be replaced.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
So far, no one on the Left has shown any interest in threading that particular needle.
Unless and until they do, lets talk for a bit about my cake.

Exactly right, David.
His campaign seems obsessed with 'college-educated suburban women' - don't want to turn them off.
As though the RKBA offends them.
