Virginia’s two U.S. senators are reviewing a national gun proposal opposed by some survivors and families of the victims of the deadly Virginia Tech rampage in April 2007.
The measure would give people the right to carry concealed weapons across state lines, provided they obey the concealed gun laws of the state they are visiting. A vote is scheduled Wednesday, with 60 votes needed for approval.
In response to a request by The Associated Press, a spokesman for Sen. Mark R. Warner said Warner is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, while Sen. Jim Webb’s office said he is “inclined to support the legislation.“
About 30 survivors and families of Tech victims expressed their opposition to the amendment in a full-page newspaper ad this week.
