The focus of this editorial is on the issue of Virginia gun control. More specifically it talks about the one gun per month law in Virginia and how the state is ready to repeal it. They arguement they are using is that this law is not troubling harmful criminals it is troubling law abididing citizens. They back this arguement by using research that shows that this law did not lower crime rate. Also Virginia is one of the only states that still has this law in affect.
I agree with this editorial and think that Virginia should get rid of the one gun per month law. If the law was put in to affect to lower crime rate and the law is not doing that I think that means that the law should not be in affect. From what I could gather from this editorial it seems that this law is just a big inconvienince to law abiding hunters, and gun enthusiasts that would want or even need to buy more than one gun per month.
