• Beyond the NRA's absolutism
  December 10, 2009 — NRA leaders, meet your members. It turns out that the people in the ranks actually are much wiser than their lobbyists... In his survey of 832 gun owners, including 401 NRA members, [pollster Frank] Luntz found that 82 percent of NRA members supported "prohibiting people on the terrorist watch lists from purchasing guns." Sixty-nine percent favored "requiring all gun sellers at gun shows to conduct criminal background checks of the people buying guns," and 78 percent backed "requiring gun owners to alert police if their guns are lost or stolen."

  December 01, 2009 — That "gun-show loophole" should have been closed years ago because it would protect the public while doing nothing to restrict law-abiding citizens' right to bear arms, but the gun lobby has successfully resisted every attempt at reform. Americans could stand to be less gun-crazy and more willing to stop crazy people from getting guns.

• Editorial: Closing Loophole Has Wide Support
  October 21, 2009 — "At the moment, the state government is complicit in a large number of no-questions-asked transactions at gun shows at civic centers and other public venues throughout Virginia... The current law caters to a small percentage of the population who put their own personal convenience ahead of the safety of the general population. It's time for the legislature to stop easing the way for criminals to acquire guns."
