Subject: more guns in Virginia
[Here's one I sent to the Letters
to the Editor at the Virginia Pilot in response to the 11/27 editorial about
more guns being purchased and carried. http://www.pilotonline.com/opinion/op1127edc.html

The writer of the anonymous 11/27 editorial is truly paranoid. He (she) assumes
that (a) people are buying guns because of terrorism, and (b) more guns make
it more likely that that traffic incidents will escalate into mass murders.
Not.
The 9/11 attacks made a lot of people face their own mortality, but few people
are getting guns now for the purpose of fighting terrorists. People have simply
realized that they are responsible for their own safety and are being more proactive.
And that traffic incident nonsense has been tried in every state where concealed
carry has been debated. And in more than 30 states where concealed carry is
legal, such escalations HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. So fear of such escalation is irrational...
making the author paranoid.
