27. Washington D.C borders Virgina
Edited on Sun Apr-26-09 01:08 PM by AllentownJake
Which has some of the loosest state gun laws in the country. Its kind of like what's going on, on the Mexico Border. Mexico has strict gun control laws, the southwestern states don't. There is a black market that has been created trading guns for drugs and drug money.

Same thing exist in DC.

Think Virginia Tech, the guy had recently been in a behavioral health center. He should have never been allowed to buy a gun legally in the first place. If that information would have been communicated to a state or federal database, well, he would have had to have gone to the underground market which is more expensive and harder to find for a nut case loner than the local store that has a giant picture of a Gun as its sign.
