Like Sebastian, I was only dimly aware of this body's existence.  And I was certainly unaware of these shenannigans.

Without reading beyond the headline, my first thought was "Thank God for Virginia."

Because we have 3 jurisdictions lying cheek by jowl with one another, it makes sense to get together on stuff that impacts everyone.  Some faction wanted to make gun banning a priority, but the presence of Virginia and the fact that gun control is not a political 'winner' for anyone kiboshed that idea.

Now get back to your silly ideas about light rail and Lexus lanes for the beltway.  You do enough damage with those, but at least it only steals valuable resources from the taxpayers rather than deny them natural rights.
