Terry McAuliffe announced his agenda on Monday, coming on the heels of the two year anniversary of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. <\/p>\n<p>House Speaker William J. Howell (R-Stafford) criticized the governor&#8217;s plan via his spokesperson Matt Moran, who said, \u201cIt is very clear where the House of Delegates stands on the Second Amendment. It is disappointing that the governor, who claims to be a consensus-builder focused on jobs, is making a divisive social issue like gun control the centerpiece of his legislative agenda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the governor&#8217;s administration defended his policy suggestions, claiming they weren&#8217;t political but simply solutions to prevent gun violence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of criminals and others prone to violence shouldn\u2019t be a political issue, and it won\u2019t become one as long as Virginia leaders put the safety of their constituents ahead of extreme, special-interest politics,\u201d Rachel Thomas, a spokeswoman for Gov. McAuliffe, the WashPo. <\/p>\n<p>Since the General Assembly is controlled by the GOP the fight for tougher gun laws will be an uphill battle.  Moreover, those Democrats who hail from pro-gun districts could face serious backlash if they opt to back the governor, noted one gun-rights organization. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gun control is an issue that&#8217;s hurt Democrats year after year,&#8221; Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusa9.com\/story\/news\/2014\/12\/15\/mcauliffe-va-gun-violence-prevention-bill\/20438411\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"republicans-respond-virginia-governors-gun-control-push\" title=\"Republicans Respond to Virginia Governor's Gun Control Push\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA Today<\/a>. &#8220;And if he wants to put a hurt on some of his colleagues, well go ahead and push it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Time will ultimately tell whether this was merely a political ploy or an earnest attempt at rolling back the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThis is purely a political play on his part.
