National Carry AcademyWhere Does Democratic VP Candidate Tim Kaine Stand On Guns …With Whoever Is Listening
September 26, 2016
When Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announced Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her running mate, many heads turned. Kaine is a staunch Catholic who made many public pro-life affirmations, but now …..he has announced that he supports taxpayer funded abortion. He did a similar about face on gun laws. Kaine went from being a staunch Second Amendment supporter to voting for a host of pro-gun control bills.
In 1995, when Kaine ran for lieutenant governor, he painted himself as an outdoorsman who supports the Second Amendment in order to gain the support of rural Virginia voters.
Again in 2005, when Kaine ran for governor, he cam out in strong support of the Second Amendment and vowed that he would not propose any new gun laws as the next governor of Virginia.
The winds changed in 2007, when twenty-three year old Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people on the Virginia Polytechnic Institute’s campus in Blacksburg, VA. Then Governor Kaine sponsored a new state law that would require background checks on sales at gun shoes. The law did not pass but it set the stage for his shift on gun issues.
After he became Senator in 2012, Kaine backed a number of gun-control bills including the ban on semi-automatic firearms and magazines. He was part of the Senate sit-in to push for universal background check legislation.
Tim Kaine has publicly stated ” … just as we know that the First Amendment’s protection of free speech gives no protection to slander or child pornography, we also understand that the individual right to bear arms is tempered by a responsibility to society.”
From public support of the Second Amendment to Public denunciation, apparently Kaine…like Hillary Clinton ..will say anything his audience wants to hear. A perfect running mate for Hillary Clinton and a big danger to Second Amendment supporters.
