‘Journalist’ Gets Schooled On Gun Laws Following Scalise Shooting

By Beth Baumann

Before Majority Whip Scalise’s office had the opportunity to make an announcement on his condition, gun control advocates took to Twitter to call for stricter gun laws. Shocker, right?

One gun control advocate, in particular, The Atlantic’s David Frum, tried explaining Virgina’s gun laws.

Virginia:
No background checks
No licensing
No registration
No permit req’d for concealed carry of long guns
Open carry long guns & handguns

Except he’s completely clueless on gun laws in the state. The Washington Free Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski, decided to school Frum on Virginia’s gun laws.

Everything listed here is a lie. https://t.co/lNWWBs41FJ

Virginia, like all states, requires a background check on all new gun sales and all sales through licensed gun dealers.

Unlike many other states, Virginia requires a new FBI background check on each licensed gun sale even if the buyer has a ccw permit.

And, of course, Virginia requires a permit to carry a concealed handgun. The permit only allows you to conceal a handgun, not a rifle.
