In DC, where honest citizens voluntarily surrendered their right to own guns, 9-year olds wind up with bullets in their heads while watching Sponge Bob with grandma in their living room. There's at least one or two of these per year where the bullet enters the home through a window or through a floor or ceiling of an adjacent unit and kills a perfectly innocent child - sometimes a sleeping child.
In Virginia, where its legal to carry a fully visible firearm, these things are unheard of.
Gun control is not only ineffective but
counterproductive. The higher the firearm restrictions, the higher the proportion of gun ownership among the criminal element, the higher the crime rate. Duh. I live in VA and have met all the requirements to own and carry a firearm. I have chosen to stick with knives and do not own a gun. However, I praise the effort of the NRA (not across the board but in general) and will
vigorously oppose any proposed restrictions on the rights of Virginians to own and carry firearms.
