    * This is a solution in search of a problem. Albemarle County has not had any incidents that justify this infringement on the rights of the citizens of the County
    * Alexandria’s shooting went up 40% beginning the month their ordinance took effect and has stayed up. This ordinance will only embolden those bent on harming others
    * Only 12 localities out of 194 (six percent) have passed this kind of local gun-control, putting the County out of step with the vast majority of the state and the surrounding counties
    * Parks have remote areas that police simply cannot cover or secure
    * The Virginia Citizens Defense League currently has a lawsuit against Winchester over their ordinance. The NRA has a lawsuit against Fairfax County, similarly
    * Gun-free zones are dangerous, as Virginia Beach found out when they had a massacre in one of their government buildings a couple of years ago
    * Vote “NO” on this ordinance
