I think Talon's point is that the shooting did not take place in Virginia. He may also be commenting on the lunacy of believing that a crazy person would somehow not be able to posses a gun unless they were legal.

That's exactly what I was thinking (seemingly on par w/ Dr. K!!!!!), but I'm glad I'm not the one who had to say it. Roundel and SMD to the rescue -- thanks, guys!

I've spent time in both Virginia and Ashville, NC, and they ARE the same! Except for the Biltmore, which is not in Virginia, but there IS a Biltmore, VA near Richmond. It was really nice in China.
