[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious to all of you blaming Virginia - why do you think all other surrounding states, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, even Delaware, have a higher rate of gun murders than Virginia? And, in all of these states, the gun ownership rate is actually LOWER than Virginia.

Perhaps Virginia is not at fault for your badly constructed societies.

If guns weren’t so easy to get in Virginia, many of those other states would have less violence too. The problem is everyone in Virginia already HAS a gun (or ten) so the gun sellers in VA lure people in from other states to sell their guns to. Other states require ID, background checks, waiting periods, gun licenses, etc. Virginia does none of that. Just walk into the local Walmart and buy a uzi. Or go to any of the hundreds of gun shows and buy a machine gun, no questions asked. It’s insanity. [/quote]

Ummmm I bought a gun in VA and most certainly had to go through a background check. [/quote]
