NRA ARGUMENT MAKES THE POINT

THE NATIONAL Rifle Association is very upset about efforts to cut off unreasonable gun sales, and it states: "In Washington, D.C., the limit is . . . no guns a month. Yet Washington, D.C., and New York City are racked with rampant crime rates, eight times the entire state of Virginia." But that's the whole point. They're getting the guns here!

What kind of idiots does the NRA think we are? Their kind? MORTON NADLER BLACKSBURG
