A firearms store in McLean has become the focal point of a debate over guns that has embroiled Fairfax County for months and even reached the halls of the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond just before the General Assembly convened Jan. 13.
In the latest chapter of this ongoing saga, many local protestors assembled outside the store on Jan. 16 to express their support for newly-submitted legislation that would give localities the power to create gun-store-free zones around schools.
“We wanted this rally to show community support for the legislation and our legislators in Richmond,” said McLean resident Vance Gore, who helped organize the rally. |

Someone please tell me how the location of a gun store in proximity to a school creates a problem.
This is just another anti gun proposal to inconvenience legitimate merchants and law abiding citizens.
Furthermore, established law will grandfather the store at it's existing location. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
