[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Salim volunteer knocked on our door a few weeks ago to talk about his stance on guns. Chap himself came through the week after. We've always been in Chap's district, so it's nice to see he's not taking his old territory for granted.[/quote]

Agreed. Chap has committed to doing something about gun violence in his debates and on his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZHi8_39Sg[/quote]

This is interesting.  He says that he voted in the past for an assault weapon ban in VA, and would do so again.  This seems at least somewhat at odds with what I've heard about him elsewhere.  Would be interested to know what actually happened on that issue.[/quote]

In 2020 when they actually had a chance to ban assault weapons, he killed that effort and went on Fox News complaining about an assault weapons ban is terrible. This year, when there was no chance of passing an assault weapons ban and he was being primaried, he voted for a more limited measure that would ban *some* assault weapons. There was no chance of passing anything this year with a GOP controlled House and Governor. It was an act of political theatre so he could say he voted for an assault weapons ban, when the truth is Chap Petersen is the reason they're not banned.[/quote]
