without using the word liberal, or going off the head like an idiot about how the government is taking away our rights . . . can someone please explain to me in a rational, intelligent, non-partisan, no joking way on why we need this?
is there a horrible crime wave in virginia parks that this is needed? do roaming gangs of people attack others in state parks. is this for hunting? protection from bigfoot?

the strategy of gun owners, via the NRA, is to aggressively push for expanded gun rights. they don't seek to maintain the status quo, they want more. they aren't sitting still. they are on the constant offensive and looking for new fights. they would argue that these rights are already enshrined in the second amendment so they're simply demanding what is already theirs.
love it or hate it, you gotta admit they've been effective at getting what they want. they've repealed gun laws in DC, chicago, now VA parks, and i'm sure many more.
you ask the wrong question (but the logical one, IMO). it's not about protection from gangs, hunting, or bigfoot. it's about all guns all the time, everywhere.
that being said, guns rights are down-right f*cked up in this country. stories like this only serve to further illustrate that point. but what do i know, i'm an alien.

or go used, although it might involve having some familiarity with computer maintenance (re: no tech support). if you're just surfing, e-mailing and listening to mp3s you don't need a powerful machine. anything made in the last 3 years will do you fine.
