GUN-ISSUE COVERAGE WAS ENLIGHTENING

WE WOULD like to commend you and members of your staff (Ed Shamy, Margaret Edds, Warren Fiske and Dale Eisman) who have written to enlighten us on the sad state of gun purchases in Virginia. The tail has wagged the dog too long. Thanks for showing up the National Rifle Association. ELLISON and MARY SMYTH BLACKSBURG
