    | In Virginia, as in most states, you can get a gun without ever having fired one.
 
 A push for new gun laws was one of the hot topics of the General Assembly’s 2015 session. Both the gun lobby and gun control advocates sought legislation regarding firearms.
 
 Second Amendment groups wanted to loosen the laws – to allow, for example, concealed handgun permit holders to carry loaded shotguns or rifles in their vehicles. Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed that bill.

    | No comments section, I see. 
 Par for the course.
 
 "To gun control advocates, the issue is all about safety."
 
 No, it isn't.
 
 It's about a government monopoly of deadly force.
 
 They lie through their teeth, because they HAVE to.

                      | The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these States....Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America  — Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789. |  |  |
