<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 federal Congressional elections are 13 months away. Professional prognosticators and history will say Republicans supportive of Second Amendment rights will take back the U.S. House of Representatives from antigun Democrats. Even the Senate may swing to a firearm-favorable majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off-year 2021 elections in New Jersey and Virginia may give a sneak peek to how voters may have changed their minds to be more supportive of the Second Amendment. Many citizens in those states are part of the greater national pattern and purchased firearms in historically high numbers over the past 18 months. What the governors of each state may do to support or restrict their rights could sway the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gubernatorial debates have taken place in each state and at this time, the races are close. Polls close in four weeks, that\u2019s a lifetime in politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garden State Retread<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

New Jersey is in firm Democratic control and has long been a state with strict gun control. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is one of the staunchest gun control governors in the country. It\u2019s something he wears as a badge of honor and he\u2019s trying to become the first Democratic incumbent to win a second term from Jersey voters in 44 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. Murphy and former Republican state Assemblyman Jack Ciatterelli faced off in a debate last week. Not surprisingly, the governor brought up gun control to burnish his record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of our record of making New Jersey the strongest gun safety state in America,\u201d Gov. Murphy said. \u201cI feel sometimes my opponent is running for governor of Texas. He wants concealed carry. He wants more rounds in magazines. He voted against banning .50-caliber weapons and against universal background checks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciatterelli responded simply. \u201cNothing the governor just said is truthful about me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun control politicians often highjack language to deceive voters. That ruse, though, is up as more and more Americans recognize the game antigun politicians play. In the case of Gov. Murphy, \u201cstrongest gun safety\u201d measures, that translates to severe restrictions and the chipping away at Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Gov. Murphy went so extreme during his first term as to use Constitutionally-questionable authority to shut down the firearm industry and halt all background checks during the coronavirus pandemic, exactly when firearm sales soared. He was rebuffed on that overreach<\/a>,<\/strong> was sued<\/a><\/strong> and ultimately forced to walk back<\/strong><\/a> his order and allow retailers to open and background checks to be processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. Murphy may be proud of his blatant overreach, but New Jersey residents told a different story through their actions. In 2020, the FBI processed 178,000<\/a><\/strong> NICS background checks in the Garden State. So far in the first half of 2021, that number has already reached more than 167,000<\/a>.<\/strong> Even though Gov. Murphy isn\u2019t predicted to be in danger, gun owners aren\u2019t on the same page as his \u201cstrongest gun safety\u201d measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAuliffe Seeks Return<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is re-auditioning for the role he held previously. In Virginia, governors cannot serve consecutive terms, so after sitting it out for Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, he\u2019s giving it another go. No surprises since he served as the Commonwealth\u2019s top executive from 2014-2018, and he\u2019s running his old gun control playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs governor, I will work tirelessly to eliminate these weapons of war from our streets, keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, and keep our communities safe,\u201d he\u2019s said<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those plans include implementing a taxpayer-funded gun control agency<\/strong><\/a>, banning<\/a><\/strong> Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) \u2013 the most popular selling semiautomatic sporting rifle in the country with more than 20 million in circulation \u2013 banning<\/a><\/strong> so-called \u201chigh-capacity magazines,\u201d instituting<\/a><\/strong> \u201cred flag\u201d laws that deny the accused Due Process and more. Polling shows the gap between frontrunning former Gov. McAuliffe and Republican challenger Glenn Youngkin tightening to within the margin of error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAuliffe is nervous and getting gun control help. Everytown for Gun Safety, the billionaire Michael Bloomberg-backed gun control group, pledged<\/a><\/strong> nearly $2 million to push McAuliffe and Democrats in the state across the finish line to pass more gun control on Virginians. In the Old Dominion, nearly half a<\/strong> million<\/strong><\/a> FBI NICS checks have been processed so far in 2021. Virginians look on with watchful eyes as more gun control may be coming their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00a0firearm sales in 2021<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are running strong, second only to the record\u00a021 million<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0firearms sold last year, the politicians\u2019 calculus has changed. It\u2019s why President Joe Biden\u2019s ATF nominee David Chipman didn\u2019t even receive the support of all Senate Democrats and was\u00a0withdrawn<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s why gun control measures in Congress have stalled. It\u2019s why these governors\u2019 mansions for gun control aren\u2019t a sure bet in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane\u00a0<\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the\u00a0National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
