When Virginia ended the legislative session, the gun ban group Virginian's Against Handguns Violence lauded the session as political coup for the gun grabbers. In a style reminiscent of Baghdad Bob himself, the gun fearing wussies claimed that they were winning the war to ban guns.

At the time, gun rights groups scoffed at the notion. Now, even the media is admitting that this has been a good year for individual freedom in Virginia.

Though none were earth-moving adjustments, Virginia passed more pro-gun laws than any other state this spring - a statistic local lawmakers say verifies the commonwealth's commitment to protecting the rights of its law-abiding gun owners.

Legislators approved 15 pro-gun laws, spurring shouts of praise from the National Rifle Association.

"This year was definitely a very good year for the Second Amendment in Virginia," said NRA spokesperson Kelly Hobbs, noting the 15 new laws.
