Metropolitan DC Local Politics
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS LIVING IN McLean. We already have the gun shop. The gun shop is operating within its rights. Foust has walked away with tail between his legs. Everyone is now supporting the Auto business (the landlord) and the gun shop. You can't even get a parking place. There is no reason for us to sign a petition. We've moved on. |

He's the Governor of Virginia, for all of you in NY and CA supporting Vicky. |
You and I both know you can't tell that from a FB page. Seriously where are you anti-gun people getting your talking points? Everything they are feeding you is wrong Wrong Congressional leader. Wrong on Warren Burger. Wrong on Beyer. Wrong on facebook numbers. |
Please post those names. I would like to see if I recognize even one of them. I certainly didn't recognize anyone but Foust at the puny protest last week. - signed Live in McLean over 20 Years. |

If what you say is true, then Barbara Comstock (R) would not have beat Foust (D) in the midterms. She took Wolf's seat. Frank Wolf was the longest serving politican in Virginia, having been Repulibcan in that seat from 1981-2015. |
I have only lived here for about 5 years and I saw a bunch of people that I knew from here at the protest. Funny. You must not get out much. |
Names please. I watched the videos. |
It's only been explained 50 times that the 10th Congressional District is not the same thing as McLean (predominantly Democratic now) or the Dranesville District in Fairfax County (same). It's largely composed of more conservative parts of Loudoun and Prince William. And, of course, since Wolf blessed Comstock, that helped her as well, but she most certainly could not win an election in McLean now. The local politicians for McLean are largely Democratic - Beyer, Favola, Murphy, Sullivan, Simon, etc. All but Beyer have publicly criticized the store's location and Beyer supports more gun control laws. The right-wing pro-gun Republicans are a distinct minority in McLean. The Republican politicians are (excuse the pun) shooting themselves in the foot and will lose Republican voters in the fall elections. People don't move to McLean so the local Republicans can tell them it's fine if downtown McLean has firearms stores within a stone's throw of an elementary school. That's bullshit Florida panhandle stuff, not what people expect in NoVa. |
| Names of the people who signed the anti-gun shop list, please. put up or shut up. |
Please do NOT share names here besides the local politicians who have posted pictures of their attendance at the protest . The pro-gun people will harass local residents just like they've harassed the McLean woman who started the petition. |
I would never. |
The change.org petition has over 2200 signatures and most who provided explanations why they signed live in McLean. They include FS parents, FS alumni, FS teachers, parents of FS teachers, local HS teachers, and many more residents. If this landlord and store owner had one shred of decency or class between them, they would recognize the location is a problem and find a way to move. But they lack that. They want attention and publicity, and they don't give a shit about the feelings of the community. |
And they thought every Dem had to be anti-choice. No. Just no. McAuliffe isn't the only pro-choice Democrat. |
