Virginia, which has some of the most lax gun laws in the nation and has been pushing to expand gun rights, has been criticized lately by gun control advocates.

They must sell both booze and guns to the public at the Pentagon, right?

I mean, why else would The New York Times think this is relevant to their story?

It's interesting that they comment on the gun laws of Virginia ("...some of the most lax gun laws in the nation...") since the crime happened in that area, while they gloss over the fact that this guy came from California, which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Does the NYT claim that he got all of his weapons in Virginia?
