George Allen's anti-gun record is dangerous to Virginia gun owners.  With your Republican U.S. Senate primary taking place tomorrow in  Virginia, I want to make sure you are armed with gun rights facts.  Republican candidate Delegate Bob Marshall returned his National  Association for Gun Rights Candidate Survey 100% in favor of our  right to keep and bear arms.  The bad news is, George Allen refused to respond. But I'm not  surprised -- his anti-gun record is well-chronicled. Please read the detailed analysis of George Allen's anti-gun record in my email  below. -- Dudley I have some bad news. George Allen’s anti-gun  crusade will continue if he gets back to the  U.S. Senate.  More on that in a minute. Now, sometimes folks  assume that just because a politician is a  Republican, they ‘re a solid supporter of the  Second Amendment.  I hope you don’t make that mistake. You see,  you and I are only a handful of votes shy in  the U.S. Senate of losing our right to keep  and bear arms. We have the most anti-gun  administration in nearly 20 years.  The last time such a rabid anti-gunner was  in charge in Washington, we got the Brady Bill,  a ban an entire class of semi-automatic  hunting and target rifles, and millions of gun  owners lost their rights. Unfortunately, it’s  virtually certain that we won’t have a true gun rights hero in the White House regardless of who  wins this November.  That’s why it’s especially vital that gun  owners know where every candidate for U.S.  Senate stands. And that’s why we sent candidate  surveys to the Republican candidates for U.S.  Senate in Virginia asking very specific questions  about where each candidate stands on your gun  rights. The results might shock you.  First, the good news, Republican candidate  DelegateBob Marshall has returned his survey  100% in support of your right to keep and bear  arms. This should come as no surprise. Delegate  Bob Marshall has a long history of fighting for  Virginian’s gun rights in the House of Delegates.  In the General Assembly, Delegate Bob Marshall  was the chief co-sponsor of the repeal of the  unconstitutional one-gun-a-month rationing  scheme that finally passed this year. Delegate  Bob Marshall also led the charge to expand the  right of law-abiding citizens to carry their  firearms on college campuses. Marshall has  pledged to continue his long support of gun  rights in the United States Senate. However,  I do have some disturbing news. Republican  candidate George Allen refused to answer  our survey. This isn't new. Some politicians  refuse to answer the tough questions we ask. Unfortunately, when politicians refuse to  answer, it virtually always means they’d vote  anti-gun if elected. Often, it’s a sign that  they’re hiding their anti-gun views -- and  George Allen’s anti-gun record will shock you! *** George Allen proudly declared his  support for the so-called “Assault  Weapons” ban and pledged to renew it. 1 *** George Allen supported and refused  to repeal Virginia’s unconstitutional,  and recently repealed, one-gun-a-month  gun rationing scheme. 2 *** George Allen voted to crack down  on private gun sales, and to end private  gun sales at gun shows. 3 *** George Allen believes magazines  capable of holding more than ten  rounds of ammunition should be  outlawed. 4 *** George Allen supports stringent  background checks as a condition of  owning a firearm. 5 *** George Allen voted for legislation  that would coerce gun owners into locking  up their firearms or face criminal  prosecution. 6 *** George Allen believes that handgun  buyers should be tracked in a massive  centralized database. 7 *** George Allen pledged to support  mandatory trigger locks for all  firearms. 8 *** George Allen pledged a crackdown  on enforcement of currently existing  unconstitutional federal gun laws. 9 George Allen has joined with liberals time and time again in opposing your God-given  constitutional right to self-defense.  Furthermore, with Allen’s refusal to answer  the National Association for Gun Rights  candidate survey, voters have no idea if he  is in favor of the U.N. gun controls that are right now looming over our head. Allen may not have answered our survey, but  his abysmal record on our gun rights is crystal  clear. Allacross the country anti-gun lawmakers  andpoliticians are pushing the same anti-gun platform as George Allen has throughout his career. The next U.S. Senator from Virginia will face important choices on many or all of these issues. So, the question is: How long will it  take George Allen to cave in like a house of  cards as he has so many times before? Allen is likely to sell-out gun owners the first time  it’s politically expedient to do so. It makes sense. Many of the gun controls that passed  during the Clinton Administration were supported  by weak-kneed Republicans who often say  “politics is the art of compromise.”  Nothing gets my blood boiling as much as  politicians playing fast and loose with our constitutionally-protected right to keep and  bear arms.  With all that’s at stake this  election year, and with your June 12th Republican Primary fast approaching, it’s crucial that  freedom-loving citizens of Virginia State know  exactly where their candidates stand on the  Second Amendment.  That’s why it’s vital you send George Allen a message.Demand that George Allen apologize for  his abysmal record on gun rights. Demand that  he answer the National Association for Gun  Rights survey 100% in favor of your gun rights,  and pledge that if elected he will stop acting  like a gun-grabber and cast his votes in support of our Second Amendment rights. But there isn't  much time. Here’s what you can do to help: o   Thank Delegate Bob Marshall for his  100% support of your right to keep and  bear arms! o   Give Republican candidate George  Allen an earful by calling him at  804-726-2012. Demand that he answer  the National Association for Gun Rights  survey 100% in favor of your gun rights, and pledge that in the future, he will  stand up to the gun-grabbers and cast his  votes in support of the Second Amendment. There’s no doubt about it, the upcoming elections  will have a greater impact on our Second Amendment  rights than any other election in our lifetime. Andwith so much at stake, I’m really going above  andbeyond to make sure every person in Virginia  whocares about the Second Amendment knows exactly  wheretheir candidates stand. And I’m counting on  good folks like you to help make that possible.  So please, consider making a generous contribution of $15, $25, $50 or perhaps even $100 -- or  whatever you can afford -- to help me contact  as many Virginia citizens as possible. But most importantly, contact Republican George Allen and  tell him change his position on the Second  Amendment. There’s not a moment to lose. Please  act today!   For Freedom,        Dudley Brown      Executive Vice President P.S. Republican U.S. Senate candidate George Allen won’t answer the National Association for Gun Rights candidate survey -- and his long history of supporting left-wing gun control schemes is crystal clear. Gun owners must demand answers. It’s vital that you  contact George Allen at once and demand he  apologize to gun owners for his gun-grabbing  past, and answer the National Association for  Gun Rights candidate survey 100% pro-gun  immediately!
