"On a 21-19 vote, the Virginia Senate passed legislation Monday to allow the purchase of more than one handgun a month, foretelling what is likely to be one of the most significant changes in Virginia's gun laws in 20 years.
The Senate vote, coupled with passage last week by the House of Delegates, means the measure to repeal the one-gun-a-month law is likely to reach Gov. Bob McDonnell, who has indicated he would sign it into law.
Two Democrats, Sens. John S. Edwards of Roanoke and R. Creigh Deeds of Bath County, sided with Republicans. Sen. Thomas K. Norment Jr., R-James City, the GOP Senate leader, voted with Democrats.
Virginians currently are prohibited from purchasing more than one handgun a month. The law, backed by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, was enacted in 1993 in response to problems with interstate gun trafficking. Attempts to repeal it in previous years had failed."

Теперь бы еще пить при оружии разрешили, хотя бы на уровне вождения машины и мотоцикла. Третий год уже грозятся.
