Death by guns or uranium: in Virginia you can choose
The following news report almost requires no comment. Unless you yield to the temptation and ask the obvious: will guns or uranium kill more Virginians in the future? Here is the report-I promise this is how it reads-all I have done is cut out one redundant word.
RICHMOND - The Virginia Senate voted today to approve measures to authorize a study on uranium and to allow Virginians with permits to carry concealed handguns to bring those weapons into restaurants.
The Senate voted 36-4 to approve Senate Bill 525, which could be the first step toward repeal of a 25-year-old ban on uranium mining in Virginia. It was spurred largely by Virginia Uranium Inc., which wants to mine what is believed to be one of the largest concentrations of uranium in the country, now several miles underground in Pittsylvania County.
The Senate, meanwhile, voted 24-15 to approve a measure allowing concealed-carry permit-holders to bring their guns into restaurants, so long as they notify restaurant personnel and do not consume alcohol. State law already permits open carry in restaurants.
