The Washington Post editorial board, from whom we cats rarely expect great things, has come down deservedly hard on the, um, hair-trigger-temper Republican gun nuts who are all mad at our hero, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. It sure makes for some fun Sunday morning reading.
As The Post correctly points out, Herring was completely within Virginia law (previously supported by these same screaming Republicans) with his decision (endorsed by the Virginia State Police) that the commonwealth would no longer recognize concealed-carry permits from states with more lenient gun restrictions. But that hasn't stopped the slaves of Wayne LaPierre from whining and carping. One nutcase, Philip Van Cleve of the "Virginia Citizens Defense League," even said he would never visit two of the states that require mutual permit recognition, because in New York and New Jersey, "you really need a gun."
We guess this Van Cleve fool hasn't heard about how crime rates in New York have dropped, or how New Jersey has gone after terrorists (even if Chris Christie has been lying about his part in it).
Goodness gracious, the silliness of the gun crazies knows no bounds. If Van Cleve doesn't like living under Mark Herring's jurisdiction, we suggest he move to Texas — which has reciprocity with Virginia, a nutty teabag governor and attorney general, and where he can shoot at the December tornadoes. We cats PURR.
