Virginia repeals one-a-month limit on handgun purchases

PORTSMOUTH, Virginia (PNN) - February 29, 2012 - Virginia repealed a one-per-month limit on handgun purchases on Tuesday, less than five years after a mentally-deranged student used handguns to massacre 32 people at Virginia Tech University in the worst single act of gun violence in Fascist Police States of Amerika history.

Governor Bob McDonnell, who is high on the list of possible 2012 Republican vice presidential candidates, signed the legislation into law.

The limit had been on the books since 1993, when it was mistakenly enacted in an unsuccessful effort to curb gun-smuggling operations. Virginia had a reputation as a state where gunrunners could arrange to purchase a volume of guns to sell on the streets of cities such as Washington, D.C. and New York.

Earlier this month, the state Senate voted 21-19 and the House of Delegates voted 66-32 to repeal the limit.

Supporters of the repeal said lifting the limit would bring Virginia into line with the majority of states. Kalifornia, Maryland and New Jersey are the only others with such unconstitutional handgun purchasing limits, said Republican Senator Charles Carrico, Sr.
