NRA Strongly Endorses Ed Gillespie For Virginia Governor

The NRA announced today that it is backing Republican Ed Gillespie for Virginia governor, commenting that “Gillespie is the clear choice in the race for Virginia governor” and that Democrat nominee Ralph Northam is “jarringly out-of-touch.” The NRA’s decision to support Gillespie shows that he is the only candidate who can be trusted to stand up and protect the Second Amendment in the Commonwealth.

Via the NRA’s announcement:

“Gillespie is the clear choice in the race for Virginia governor. He has earned an ‘A’ rating from the NRA-PVF for his strong support of the Second Amendment. Gillespie’s opponent, Ralph Northam, has an ‘F’ rating for his hostility toward law-abiding citizens’ constitutional right to self-defense. At a time when lawmakers across the country are enacting laws to restore our Second Amendment freedoms, Northam is jarringly out-of-touch. He supports gun rationing that would restrict Second Amendment freedoms and supports banning commonly owned firearms and magazines. In addition, he supports criminalizing the private sale of firearms between lifelong friends and family members.
