Damned if you do, damned if you don't


The New York Times laments the lax gun laws in Virginia:

As it stands now, a pipeline of illegal weapons flows with little impediment to New York from Virginia. . .where gun dealers easily sell to traffickers through "straw sales," in which a qualified third party � without a criminal record � acts as the buyer.
The Philadelphia Daily News applauds the tough gun laws in Virginia:
The key law would allow an individual to purchase only one handgun per month.

"This is not pie-in-the-sky," Clarke said yesterday. "Limiting purchases to one handgun a month helped reduce gun violence in Virginia, which used to be the gun capital of the East Coast because laws were so lax."

"Limiting purchases to one handgun a month helped reduce gun violence in Virginia...

I'd just love to see the proof of this little "fact".

Hmm. Kinda makes me want to go out and buy another handgun, just 'cause it's been more than a month (hehehe).

Perhaps the NYT is just a little bit cranky because it's that time of the month again in Virginia.
