"We continue to regulate gun ownership..." Not strongly enough in VA - at gun shows in VA you can buy a gun/guns from a private dealer with no regulations imposed, (no background check).
NYC's Mayor Mike recently sued 2 VA gun shop owners, proving they sold guns that were involved in NYC street crimes; NYC won concessions from VA shop owners, yet private dealers at VA gun shows remain unregulated.
You don't want revenge to be too expensive, even if it's emotionally
satisfying.
