Default Buying guns, ammo easy under Virginia's lenient laws

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Buying_..._04162007.html

...

Virginia laws allow any state resident over 18 to buy a firearm, including assault weapons, if they pass a check of any possible criminal background against state and federal databases.

According to the Brady Campaign lobby for gun control, the state merits a C-minus on a scale of A to F for the strength of its gun control laws, with 32 of the 50 states ranked D or F.

Buying and owning a gun in Virginia does not require a permit, but without a gun permit only one handgun purchase per month is allowed, and there is no waiting period to acquire the gun.

Those with licenses can buy more than one gun during one month. A non-state resident has to wait 10 days to acquire a weapon, or until he or she gets a positive report from the state police.

The law is broad enough to allow people to buy assault guns and magazines without limit such as AK-47s and Uzis, the Brady report points out on its website.

All I know is, if Amerika takes away the guns... crime will be at an all time high.

The bad guys can still get the guns through the black market, while the innocent people cannot.

Just think about that for a minute and let it sink in...

yes, yes ... brought to us by the same people who insist the terrorists will follow us home...

of course, we all know that criminals are holding back their gun crime ambitions currently because they are afraid of citizens' rights to carry guns themselves ...

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.

RW cited used that old right-wing chestnut that's used to justify unregulated gun sales. The same logic could be used to justify chemical weapons. Or, taken further, I suppose the same logic could be used to justify killing gun owners. Was that your point?

I don't think they should take guns away, but should make it more difficult to get them, track them more closely, and restrict the types of guns that are available. "Professional' criminals will always be able to get guns, true, but right now it seems like deranged people can get them pretty easily too.
