Our discussion of the criminal codes alone displayed a difference in mentalities between California and Florida (and Virginia, for that matter). When you talk about the rhetoric with regards to firearms in California, I am taken aback. I mean, if some of the things that have happened out there, or were even said out there, were said here by people with any sort of authority they would be gone from office immediately. The number of liberals in Virginia that would agree with the type of things being done in California is less than 10% of the liberal population. Easily.

Even the non-gun owners here understand the value of firearms. Granted, this is coming from someone who lives in an area that has the George Washington National Forest on one side and the Shenandoah National Park on the other, has the highest bear kill rate in the state, and has archery hunting for deer within city limits because of the over-population. So take my opinion with that context.

Agreed. I understand the concern, but it’s a little hard to picture that being applied here where a week or so after a school shooting — easily the worst case of violence in Kentucky since our last school shooting — our governor and gop senate came out and said flatly that any gun control measure would not be discussed in state legislature.
