Terry McAuliffe, gun control advocate

From the Washington Examiner:

Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic nominee for Virginia governor, said during Wednesday night's debate that he hasn't changed his mind about a proposed assault weapons ban. 

Debate moderator Chuck Todd of MSNBC asked McAuliffe if he still supported the ban, as well as universal background checks and limiting the size of ammunition magazines
"I haven’t changed my mind," McAuliffe said, acknowledging that the question was "pertinent" in the wake of the recent mass shootings. 

McAuliffe added that as governor, he would push for universal background checks. . . .
