Great news!

[Auntie Bush]

1. So now they can buy 10-100+ a day? nt

[gejohnston]

2. If they have the money

but it will be reported to the ATF.

[DonP]

3. If they can afford it, they still have to fill out a 4473 and pass a NICS check on every one

And if they buy more than 3 (IIRC) handguns the purchase must also pass an additional level of scrutiny.

[Johnny Rico]

17. When I go to a gun show I may buy more that one gun, depending on what I find there

that's on my wish list.

Why shouldn't I be able to do that?

[Hoyt]

4. One a lifetime seems plenty for most people -- but there is a group out there who still want more.

[Glassunion]

5. Do you wear the same outfit every day?

Not every carry firearm can be concealed in every outfit. One needs to leave their options open.

Glock in the winter
LCP in the spring and summer
NAA pug when jogging

MKIII for target fun

Etc...

[oneshooter]

6. Na, he just uses the same ole, same ole every day. Don't know any better.

[Hoyt]

8. You guys disagreed with me when I called guns a fashion accessory for the gun culture. I be right.

[Glassunion]

9. How can you call something concealed

a fashion accessory?

[Hoyt]

11. Hey, ever carry a wallet. And I won't ask about your underwear.

I'd love to hear sometimes what criteria you use when selecting the handgun(s) to "wear" each day. Well today, I'm going down on 4th street and the boogeymen are bigger there so I better carry the 45. Tomorrow I'll be around a bunch of small children, so a 38 will be sufficient.

You guys are nuts -- probably a lot of fun to be around sans guns.

[Dr_Scholl]

12. I can't tell if you're a troll or just thick.

.

[Hoyt]

13. Welcome. In my defense, I have more than 70 posts. Are you a gun carrying podiatrist or what?

[krispos42]

14. So I take it your toolbox contains the following:

1 crescent wrench
1 flathead screwdriver
1 phillips screwdriver
1 pair of pliers.



Must be nice...

[Hoyt]

15. Actually I try not to view guns as simple tools. That's how someone gets hurt.

[ellisonz]

7. "Great news!"

Almost total party line vote. Obviously besides rolling back gun control, the VA Legislature is close to passing a voter photo ID law. Make guns easier to get, make voting harder.

[ileus]

10. The law never applied to me anyway...what good is a law like that?

[cleanhippie]

16. Glad to see Virginia get SOMETHING right for a change.

[ellisonz]

18. That's important...

...considering the other reasons the VA legislature has been in the news lately is because of a Voter Photo ID law and mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasounds for abortion. I guess those Republicans have to be good for something!

[cleanhippie]

19. Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This was one of those times.

[ellisonz]

21. Or it's just broken...

[ileus]

20. Now if they'll just get on the stick for a stand your ground and castle doctrine

[montanto]

22. Good. Another pointless restriction bites the dust.

I hope California follows, not that I can afford more than one gun a year at this point.
