Gun Control & RKBA

icon: DC & Richmond Va are considered sister cities" They are ca. 100 miles apart:

Well aware, used to travel it yearly down 95 going to & from Norfolk naval bases. Even longer when you give DC a wide berth to avoid the DC traffic MESS, tack on approx. 25 miles from Hagerstown to Richmond route thru martinsburg. Worth it to avoid stop & go for hours just to get to Fredericksburg.

DC & Richmond can be considered sister cities due their demographics, pop density.
I suppose Baltimore could be as well, along with dozens other cities accd'g to demographics, but was referring to sister cities for gun control comparisons between pro gun Virginia & gun control DC:

The political bureaucracies of Richmond and the District of Columbia are becoming kindred spirits — sister cities, perhaps. http://www.styleweekly.com/richmond/marion-barrys-man-in-richmond/Content?oid=1365159
