And another media outlet talks out of its fourth point of contact...

...and, of course, uses the First Amendment to shit all over the Second....

The organization wants to make it commonplace for people - law abiding and not - to walk down the streets of Norfolk with a gun in a holster.

So did the Virginian-Pilot interview anyone from the Virginia Citizens Defense League? Did anyone from the VCDL actually tell them that the organization's members were all right with criminals carrying guns AT ALL, let alone openly? I'd bet the money I paid for the gun I most recently bought that it didn't, and I'd bet it again that most if not all VCDL members actually think the same thing I and many other people do — which is, if certain people can't be trusted with with a gun — that is, can't be trusted with the rights of free citizens — then what are they doing walking free in society? I guess the folks on the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot editorial board proudly count themselves among those who have no problem with violent criminals being allowed to roam free as long as the law says they can't carry guns. Once again, what the hell is wrong with these people?
