Gun Rights Won One And Lost 1 In Virginia’s January 12th Special Elections

Virginia –-(AmmoLand.com)- Pro-gun Jeff McWaters won the special election in District 8 by 79% to 21% over anti-gun Bill Fleming

VGOC spent no resources in that fight because we knew it was a slam dunk.

The bad news is that pro-gun Steve Hunt lost to anti-gun carpet bagger Dave Marsden by 50.64% to 49.26%.

Out of 23,602 votes cast Steve lost by 327 votes.

This is a radically liberal district in Fairfax and becoming more liberal all the time. Four years ago, Ken Cuccinelli only won by 92 votes.

The turn out of gun owners is what made it close. Thank you to all who invested in mobilizing gun owners.

We now have our work cut out in the Virginia legislative session. It just got harder.

The anti-gun lobby will be energized by this pick up of an extra anti-gun vote. We will face some stiff anti-gun efforts.
