Limit One Per Customer
by Michael R. Shannon
Formerly Virginia was for lovers, but now it's the "limit one–per–month, per customer" Commonwealth for guns and teeth.
The limitation on gun purchases was designed to stop the flow of guns from Virginia to New York. This concept was shaky in practice because studies show most guns sold on the street sell for less than list price.
So what would be the advantage of paying retail for your Ruger? To make any money the price in New York would have to be more than list price in Virginia, which wipes out any competitive advantage based on price.
Was there a market niche of NYC gangsters who wanted a valid receipt with their roscoe, so they could get their money back if it misfired?
Purchase enforcement of the ban depends on electronic records. A prospective buyer's name is checked using a database and if he's been 31–days without a purchase and he's conviction–free it's approved.
Isn't it strange how liberals have complete trust in electronic background checks when it comes to buying deadly firearms, but computer databases are too unreliable and dangerous when it comes to checking a prospective employee's background to see if he is in the country illegally?
I'm not in the gun market, but I've had dental problems lately, so the one–tooth–per–month, per customer limit on teeth pulling came as news.
It seems VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community
Engagement) bussed a group to Richmond demanding "Dental Care Now."
Government is becoming ever more intrusive into our daily lives, but is some fiendish bureaucrat preventing these good people from brushing their teeth?
But no, government is the solution to this problem caused by an unfortunate combination of some Virginian's lack of interest in performing even rudimentary dental hygiene and taxpayer resistance to paying more so the aforementioned group won't suffer the consequences of their failure to floss.
For those of you unfamiliar with VOICE, this is a standard–issue liberal "social justice" "faith–based" group that does not have time for anti–abortion work - but takes no prisoners when it comes to the war on tooth decay.
According to VOICE, our local free clinic limits patients to pulling one tooth per month and that is an outrage.
