It’s not Virginia’s fault that New York only allows criminals to own fire arms.
As a New Yorker, I couldn’t agree more. Most violent thugs who commit murders and other violent crimes in NYC already had serious criminal records but were given light sentences or probation.
We need more jail cells to hold the thugs, judges willing to put them there, parole boards willing to keep them there, and more armed, law-abiding citizens to protect the community from them, not more gun laws.
Criminals will always get their hands on guns. Even if all the guns in the USA were somehow confiscated and destroyed, criminals would come up with all types of lethal weapons. Have you ever seen what is turned up when they do cell searches in prisons?
The only question is whether we want to the criminals to have ALL the weapons or if we want to give law-abiding citizens a fighting chance.
