"The FACT is that gun laws are weak in Virginia and tight in DC."

Yet crime is higher in DC, with the tight gun laws, and lower in Virginia, with the weak gun laws.

I can more easily justify making the laws WEAKER in DC to lower the crime rate than you can justify making the ones in Virginia stronger ( which, from all indication past amnd present would increase the crime rate).


"" "We need a FULL review of weapons and ammunition types and technology and revised laws reflecting a saner designation of things like 'semi-automatic', ..."

Why?? There is presently a perfectly good definition.
