Then THIS is the problem they need to address:

"Between 2007 and 2018, 72% of all homicides involved guns in Virginia, and black males ages 20-24 had the highest rates of gun-relate homicide."

"Petersburg City had the highest gun-related homicide rates between 2013 and 2017, followed by Richmond City, Danville City, Emporia City and Norfolk City."

That should be:

50%+1 CAN'T take away the Constitutional Rights of 50%-1."

It takes a petition signed by 10% of the voters in the last election to start a recall there. One of the first bills this newly elected group introduced is to raise that to 25% and to put a 60 day time limit on it.

What the heck are these kids doing riding around with an gun with an 83 round drum. The article is right, guns and paranoia are a volatile mixture.

These stats show how the NRA ideas do not work.

The young Black males committing the vast majority of Virginia's gun homicides and crimes are NRA members? Cite proof of that.

The NRA pushing laws, which allow for the unlimited purchase of firearms, is being shown to not fulfil the result the NRA claimed would happen.

More guns do not mean less crime. In fact they show more violent crime occurs.

Screw the NRA, a gun purchase needs no justification. And certainly no permission from from politicians and their violent govt
