The War on Guns has evidence that law enforcement officers are increasingly negligent in their duties to protect their most valuable companion other than their firearms--their police dogs. Increasingly these dogs are being left in patrol cars for hours in the hot weather with no food, water, or ventilation. We civilians would be thrown under the jail for such brutality, and rightly so:
Nicki at The Liberty Zone points to a most interesting case in North Carolina. A third year law student at Wake Forest University successfully argued for overturning the conviction of an ex-con who was charged with possessing a firearm:

(Update: Bitter stresses that she was not implying that no politicians in Virginia other than the Lt.Governor support gun-rights. There are those in both Parties who do).

I don't think it's accurate to say that only one member of the GOP can be counted on.
A) I only referenced Northern Virginia as a source of politicians regularly ignoring rights.
B) I said the Lt. Gov. was one of a few GOP members who didn't suck on the gun issue right now in the context of highlighting Northern Virginia specific problems. The Dems also have their share of really good guys on the issue.
Taking that one post to say I'm writing off all of the other pro-gun Virginia politicians is misleading.
Bitter,
Sorry, I thought my comments specified Northern Virignia as the source of the problem and not the whole state.
If that wasn't made clear enough, then it was an oversight.
I, for one, did not take your comments as an indictment against the whole state. If I implied such, I apologize, for that is clearly not when I meant to do.
Thanks for including my post, I'm glad you enjoyed the title.
No problem, Mr. Bailey. I thought that the post is an important consideration in these dangerous times in which we live. In our attempt to be more secure, we are in so many ways giving away our rights in the process, and that is very sad and very dangerous.
