NY Times Weighs in on Virginia Gun Laws

The first question that comes to my mind, and hopefully every single voter in Virginia regardless of who they are voting for, is why is The New York Times running an editorial on gun laws in Virginia? Of course the Old Gray Lady as it is known in New York City – which begs the second question why won’t this old lady retire to Florida already – doesn’t meet a chance to cite its anti-firearm rhetoric:

“But a new poll for The Virginian-Pilot by Christopher Newport University found that 8 out of every 10 likely voters want to end the practice of allowing unlicensed dealers at ‘sportsmen’ shows to sell guns wholesale outside the laws that mandate a background check of purchasers.”

By ‘sportsman’ shows, we’ll take it that they mean gun shows? But I would ask the editors at the old lady why they think law abiding citizens in any state, but especially a state other than New York, should have to be licensed to sell their personal property?

This is something that the mainstream media fails to address? What’s next, you’ll need a license to sell your couch on Craigslist? Better still, maybe paperboys should have to obtain licenses to deliver the newspapers on their bikes.
