I had this nearly complete, and the gods alone know what key combination I hit by accident.
Terry (I didn't get her last name, and their web site doesn't use full names) said: (I use the words "you can" as a direct quote here)
- You can carry in a city, county, or state park (she didn't want to hear about restrictions - this was the FIRST time she said words to the effect of "this is my meeting; shut up").
- You can not carry in a church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or the like
- You can carry on school grounds if your gun is in "a closed container" after school activities are finished
- Universities are not gun-free zones (She got one RIGHT); universities regulate firearms just like they regulate beer. (I have to wonder if she really meant it like that.)
Ricker said:
- He owns handguns and "assault weapons" (I wanted to ask what kind of assault weapons he owns, but he wasn't open to questions from me.)
LOGIC ALERT
There are 70 million gun-owning households in America. There are 200 million guns. At most, the NRA has 4 million members. THEREFORE, over 60% of Americans reject the NRA's philosophy.
VT (and I quote) "denied students the ability to bring guns to campus."
You can buy a long gun at 18. Therefore, an 18-year-old can go to a gun shop and buy an "assault weapon".
We can't ban all guns, because it would be impossible to go confiscate them all.
Even after asking "how many CHL holders are there in Virginia?" and being told 135-140,000, he repeatedly referred to "around 125,000" permit holders.
He claimed to have helped in reducing the number of gun dealers in America from 250,000 to 110,000.
Most of these gun stores are mom-and-pop stores that are barely making it, so if someone comes in and wants to buy five $600-guns, he'll sell them because he needs the money. Those of us who were there to intimidate the moms (oops, their web site says "mom's" - guess they're teaching their children the English language the way they're teaching manners.) go in to gun shops and make friends with the workers so they will look the other way when we want to do that.
Ricker acted incredulous when it was apparent we were concerned that a dealer who sold 12 Rugers at one time to a woman who then resold them to criminals should go to jail. (Note: I haven't yet researched that case he spoke of, and he didn't give us many details to go on.)
Ricker took responsibility for "briefing the Washington Post reporter on the law". (I guess any erroneous facts in the Post then belong to Ricker?)
40% of gun dealers at shows are "private" or unlicensed (Again, I have not yet done the research to verify/rebut. He did say "gun sellers" and not just "vendors".)
Then Terry said guns are sold by "unlicensed dealers". (No, dealers are licensed, though sellers need not be.)
MMM wants gun protection laws. (I want to be first in line; I want mine protected.)

I'm pretty sure others will have other notes, comments, etc. I have research to do.
