Take a foolish idea, put out a news release, then stand back and watch what happens! That seems to be the approach taken by a gun rights group to stir up interest in a “gun giveaway” tonight at the Mason District Governmental Center. No matter that the community still is sorting out its grief and anger over the senseless shootings of 32 students and faculty at Virginia Tech just a month ago. No matter that the drawing is being held in a public building that houses a police station. No matter that two dedicated Fairfax County police officers were gunned down exactly a year ago in a similar county police station. It’s wrong, but sadly, it’s also legal.
