I got all the parts about the law in Virginia right. I missed the number of guns in Homes nation-wide question.

I know where they got the information to ask the question about the Virginia Constitution's Right to Bear Arms wording. :D That's extra Credit!!!

I got 7 out of 10 right. I missed the year when the word"infringed" was put into the 2nd admendment, how many other states have 30 day waith between handgun purchases, and how many delegates carry. It's a fun little quiz.

Infringed has always been part of Second Amendment of US Constitution. They are talking Virginia Constitution which I believe was completely rewritten around 1974. I thought there were more states with 30 day Handgun rule. However, just by the way worded the questions, I have a feeling the articles are going to be slightly anti-freedom slanted.

Those are AK47s only if you consider your typical AR15 an M16. They look the same, and operate similarily, but they are NOT the same gun.

both of myrifles are Romanian AK-47's. I know of several other people who have semi-auto AKM's that are all still AK-47's of various origins. Hell, I know one guy that's got a semi-auto Yugoslavian RPK, it's a lot of fun to shoot, too.

There used to be 3 others besides VA. The two today are California and Maryland. South Carolina used to have it but doesn't anymore.

Sickening that I just looked it up, and it turns out that Virginia (and the other 3 states) enacted this stupid law before CA did.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET RID OF THIS DUMB LAW???

HA! That's the one I got wrong but by overestimating (said 12)! I guess I figured anyone who didn't want you to have a gun would have one themselves..... :^).

Yep, she's the reporter that has attended our dining outs, gun shows, and lobby day. There is supposed to be a four part article (every Sunday for the next 4 Sundays) - she is also going to be on FM 89.5 tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon.

I had a brief conversation with the photographer Hyungsoo Lee Kim at the MLK day events, who indicated he was taking pictures for an upcoming series. This must be what he's referring to.

I got 8 of 10. Missed the question on amendment to Va constitution, and the AK, I assumed they were asking about a full auto AK too.
