Interesting article, still mentioning Virginia as the #1 supplier of guns used in crimes in other states. Also mentions upcoming legislation.

"Lawmakers in several states are pushing for proposals favored by the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups. The Virginia Legislature is considering repealing a law that limits handgun purchases to one a month. That law was enacted in 1993 because Virginia was the No. 1 supplier of guns used in crimes in other states. A separate proposal in Virginia would allow people with a concealed-weapon permit to take hidden guns into restaurants that sell alcohol, as long as those patrons don't drink."

Overall, more focused on Chicago gun laws, but still an interesting read. Same Brady centered arguments by the opposition as always...
