Charlottesville radio host Rob Schilling makes an interesting case against the three ballot measures that Virginians will have a chance to vote on next week. He calls them “…bad news for liberty loving Virginians, and if passed, they will result in greater state control over our everyday lives.”

It’s enough to make one believe the state intends to take away our guns, liquor and SUVs. But it’s really something far more subtle: it’s a case of the state seeking to pull heartstrings and appear magnanimous to some while sticking everyone else with the bill.
