The Washington Free Beacon reports:
A gun control group chaired by Michael Bloomberg was unable to shift control of the Virginia legislature on Tuesday despite spending more than $2.4 million.
Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit group chaired by the billionaire former mayor of New York City, spent $2,368,655 in support of five Virginia state senate races and one house race. The group gave another $40,000 to Common Good VA, a PAC formed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe that contributed most of its money to races that Everytown targeted. The donations were part of an effort by gun control advocates to prove their cause could win at the ballot box despite decades of conventional wisdom saying otherwise.
The gun control elitists lost bad:
The National Rifle Association, which gave only $45,850 to campaigns, said that 92 percent of the candidates it endorsed won on Tuesday. The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a gun rights group based in the commonwealth, spent $32,500 supporting candidates, 27 of the candidates it endorsed won their races.
Ouch.
