Virginia Governor McDonnell tries to rehabilitate the Republicans ‘gun-owner-hating’ image
by DaveY on Jan.19, 2011, under Uncategorized
Just days after the Virginia Supreme court issued a win for Virginia’s anti-gun Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Governor Bob McDonnell moved swiftly to limit the damage to Republicans by green lighting regulation changes in State Forests & State Parks that will end the Commonwealth’s ban on open carry in State Parks as well as State Forests. Â Gunleaders.com contacted AG Cuccinelli’s office for a comment but they would not answer questions about the GMU case.
The Republican party knows it is in trouble with gun owners in Virginia after Cuccinelli was publicly called out as a ‘lying, back stabber’ by the Virginia Citizens Defense League in 2010 with their 15,000 recipient VA Alert email entitled “Et tu, Cuccinelli”, in which the then candidate Cuccinelli was video taped at a VCDL membership meeting. Â Then he indicated he felt GMU’s ban was indefensible and vowed not to defend it. Â He later reiterated this claim to several of the meeting attendees off camera.
Cuccinelli was the presumptive front runner for the Republicans for the next Governor’s race and has gained widespread acclaim from the right. Â However, Virginia gun owners have been furious over the AG’s defense of GMU and their gun ban regulation, and his previous “Greason opinion“.

GMU is a “Sensitive Place” – no right to bear arms wherever they say
by DaveY on Jan.13, 2011, under Uncategorized
In the first of a kind ruling post Heller/McDonald today the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that GMU is a “sensitive place” not subject to the protections of the Constitution & Bill of Rights.
The case was defended by police statist Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who was famously caught on tape swearing he felt GMU’s regulation was indefensible and promising not to defend it, but post election decided that government power is more important than some silly constitution.
