Guns from VA used in NY[/quote]
The linked article of course covers the so-called Gun Show loophole. The way I look at it, there is no loophole. Commerce between private citizens can occur anywhere, including in public parking lots and including in the parking lots at the location and time of gun shows. I suppose reasonable people can differ on the current laws for private sales.

From the Virginia State Police website:

[i]To privately sell a firearm, it is recommended that you safeguard information pertaining to the transaction such as the date the firearm was sold, the complete name and address of the buyer, and the make, model, and serial number of the firearm. The seller and buyer of a handgun must be a resident of the state in which the transfer occurs.  Should the firearm ever be located at a crime scene, trace of the firearm will determine the licensed dealer who last sold the firearm and will identify the last buyer of the firearm. To have your name removed from this process, you may consider placing your firearm on consignment with a licensed dealer. This will also ensure that the firearm is transferred only to a lawfully eligible individual.[/i]

So the bottom line is that if VA guns are found at crime scenes in NY, then at least one person, and probably many people, committed crimes somewhere along way beforehand.
