Virginia: State of Death

Less than a month after Virginia Tech, the state that enabled the massacre demonstrates its commitment to a culture of life guns by saying, "No, we are not content for dozens of people to die on Virginia soil as a result of our worship of guns and negligent enforcement of our already-feeble gun laws -- we want them to die in your state, too:"

[Virginia] Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell is warning New York to stop, by the summer, sending private agents into Virgina to look for illegal gun sales, saying that the agents could face legal action.

Because of a Virginia law that goes into effect in July, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (R) and his agents could be charged with a felony if they continue to target Virginia gun dealers with undercover sting operations, McDonnell said...

Convinced that illegal gun sales in Virginia contribute to violent crime in his city, Bloomberg has been arming private investigators with hidden cameras and sending them into Virginia gun stores to try to make illegal buys.

Read the rest. It's rich. Dealers who illegally sell guns somehow come out of the experience "victims."

The [Virginia Citizens Defense] league¹ has also been holding a series of "Bloomberg Gun Giveaways" to support the dealers' legal expenses. Next week, at Fairfax County's Mason Government Center, "a handgun, a long gun, lots of ammunition, and other prizes will be awarded" as part of a drawing, according to a statement from Stollenwerk.

¹That's a gun nuts "rights" group.
