Like his new tack on Biden’s legitimacy, Youngkin’s post-convention reticence on abortion and guns has the potential to dampen enthusiasm among some conservatives. It could raise doubts, particularly for a first-time candidate with no voting record, about Youngkin’s commitment to those causes, said Philip Van Cleave, president of Virginia Citizens Defense League, which advocates for gun rights.
“I think he should be coming out strongly, speaking about guns and giving exact positions on guns,” Van Cleave said. “That way, you can really stir up the gun owners. If you don’t talk about it, you leave people wondering.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
