Thread Name: BS: Virginians Wearing Guns in Public
Subject: RE: BS: Virginians Wearing Guns in Public
Don't brag too much, beardedbruce--violent crime in Virginia is on the rise, gun-toting civil liberties advocates not-withstanding--just yesterday, in Arlington, a man with a gun tucked into his belt walked up to a 15 year old girl at a bus stop and told her that he would use the gun if she didn't come with him into the adjecent parking facility, where he attempted to cut her clothes off with a knife--mercifully, he was frighten off by a passerby(who was not armed)--
It is a lot easier to slap the hands of law abiding citizens who, though they are far away from the problem, happen to have guns, than it is to go down to the areas where the problems really exist and deal with them.
