| Description | Virginia Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, who is running for attorney general, received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association Thursday, a rare show of support from the gun-rights organization for a Democrat seeking statewide office.
The group cited Deeds's sponsorship of a state constitutional amendment in 2000 that guaranteed the right to hunt and fish in Virginia, as well as his opposition to the state's one-handgun-a-month law. The group has expressed concern in the past that Deeds's opponent, Del. Robert F. McDonnell (R-Virginia Beach) opposed the constitutional amendment and supported the 1993 gun control measure. |
