"The networks are chomping at the bit to resuscitate all their fossil gungrabber "experts" to trot before the television cameras. It's sick how they dance in the blood of the dead."

And when they open their big fat mouths, it will come out that the House of Delegates shot down a bill allowing concealed carry on this very campus. We won't be the least bit mousy about the fact that they *are* trying to take advantage. If they want a gun-control fight, then by God, they'll get one.

From the NY Slimes:

Virginia imposes few restrictions on the purchase of handguns and no requirement for any kind of licensing or training. The state does limit handgun purchases to one per month to discourage bulk buying and resale, state officials said.

Once a person had passed the required background check, state law requires that law enforcement officers issue a concealed carry permit to anyone who applies. However, no regulations and no background checks are required for purchase of weapons at a Virginia gun show.

“Virginia’s gun laws are some of the weakest state laws in the country,” said Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. “And where there have been attempts to make some changes, a backdoor always opens to get around the changes, like the easy access at gun shows.”

We won't ... but I'm not so sure about our GOP stalwarts in Washington.

If they go into "yes-we-voted-against-gun-control-but-we're-really-pretty-nice-people" mode, this could get ugly.

If this is going to be politicized, it's time to go on offense. And that House of Delegates bill you mentioned is weapon #1.
