One is a smear piece on the group and their activities, and the other is pretty good. Good on the Virginia-Pilot for blancing out the viewpoints. I do have to wonder whether their editorial board believe that a criminal or mass killer would choose to carry the instrument of his crime out in the open where everyone could see it, including law enforcement.

I always love it when they use the “fire in a crowded theatre” thing. See my comment below.
If we apply your firearms theory to free speech, one would have to restrain or disable their mouth when entering a crowded theatre. After all, anybody with a mouth could shout “FIRE!” Perhaps, only those with good reason to speak could get a license from the government to speak. With this license the government could ensure that people don’t speak in sensitive places like schools, courthouses, and bars. Hey, does the pilot have a license to run a newspaper?
