And yes I am very narrow minded on the issue. Republican lawmakers are the ones keeping the hunting ban in place and it is Democrats who say they will remive the ban. So why did Democrats succed in Virginia? They at least said they would remove the ban.
Your #1 democrat McAuliffe feels the ban on Sunday hunting should stay in place. He more than likely would not sign a Sunday hunting bill if it were sent to his desk. I'm afraid our time has passed. McDonnell was in favor of some form of Sunday hunting as was Cuccinelli. McAuliffe thinks the "status quo" is fine with him. He is more concerned with passing "Colorado" style gun control(his words, not mine) than he is Sunday hunting.
With these people in charge, I'm afraid Sunday hunting will be the least of our worries in a few years.
Edited to add: The VCDL has what they call a "legislative tracking tool." They track proposed bills and categorize them as to whether they oppose them, strongly oppose, are neutral, support, or strongly support. I remember a sunday hunting bill from a couple years back being listed as neutral.
