Regrettably, Sen. Henry Marsh (D-Richmond), special-interest lobbyists and even the Virginia Ass`n of Chiefs of Police believe--perhaps as strongly as legitimate gun owners believe otherwise--that imposing additional burdensome and unconstitutional regulations on gun show promoters, dealers and ordinary citizens will reduce the number of criminals able to obtain firearms.
