I was reading an article by someone on here (sorry, don't remember your name) and he said that he felt that Northram made a terrible error by going after gun-rights in VA. Virginia is a swing-state but one of the issues that left-leaning people tend to still identify with, is the 2nd amendment and to aggressively attempt to curtail that right is a recipe to push the voting public over to the right. I suppose we will see soon enough.
