The VCDL strikes again:

VCDL-PAC IS PLEASED TO ENDORSE DELEGATE BEN CHAFIN FOR VIRGINIA SENATE!

VCDL-PAC is extremely happy that all THREE candidates answered the VCDL 
Candidate survey Very Pro-Gun.

Normally, this would make for a very difficult choice since the VCDL-PAC 
can, and does, endorse Very Pro-Gun candidates regardless of their party 
affiliation.  Just ask all the Republicans and the combination of ten 
Democrats and third party candidates that the VCDL-PAC endorsed last year.

For gun owners, this election is unusual as it is not only about who 
will represent the 38th Senate District, but more importantly, it is 
about WHO WILL CONTROL THE VIRGINIA SENATE FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND A HALF!

So the choice ends up being easy: a vote for anyone but Ben Chafin is a 
vote for anti-gun zealots Dick Saslaw and Donald McEachin to stymy 
efforts to improve Virginia's gun laws and to aid Governor McAuliffe's 
extremist efforts to restrict your Right to Keep & Bear Arms.  Earlier 
this year when the anti-gun Democratic leadership in the Senate came 
into power because of some special elections, Saslaw and McEachin 
immediately replaced key pro-gun Republicans from the Senate Courts of 
Justice Committee with anti-gun Democrats.  That happened just as some 
pro-gun bills were about to be considered in the committee and those 
bills died when they would have passed out of committee had the 
committee not been changed.

The McAuliffe/Saslaw/McEachin gang want to do everything they can to 
kill any pro-gun legislation originating in either the House or the 
Senate and they will use underhanded parliamentary maneuvers to advance 
anti-gun legislation in the Senate.

Gun owners can't allow that to happen.  That's why gun owners in the 
38th Senate district must stand up and say "No" to the 
McAuliffe/Saslaw/McEachin gang.

Although he's been a member of the House of Delegates for a short time, 
Ben Chafin has an actual voting record (unlike the other two candidates) 
and has been a reliable pro-gun vote on any gun legislation that has 
come before him.  I expect his pro-gun voting record to continue when 
Ben is elected to the Virginia Senate.

If you live in the 38th Senate District (http://tinyurl.com/k59ottm), 
PLEASE VOTE FOR DELEGATE BEN CHAFIN ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 19TH.  The rights 
of gun owners for the next year and a half will truly depend on it. 
Spread the word!

VCDL-PAC is a Virginia PAC and cannot participate in federal elections. 
However, we are staring down the barrel of ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY races 
next year.  We were underfunded last year, and we have the anti-gun 
Governor, Lt Governor, and Attorney General to prove it.  Next year's 
House and Senate races will be critical.

I agree!  The Virginia Right blog has already endorsed Ben!

I am aware of a video that purports to show the Democrat in this race supporting some anti-gun positions.  However, I cannot determine where it came from and thus I won’t use it.  Readers can draw their own conclusion.
