[Egon]

Yeah... ‘cause that worked so well in Virginia.

[American Quilter]

Way to miss the point, moron. (I’m talking to the politician, not you, Ellesu!)

[nmh]

VA Tech was a “gun free” zone. Even security there wasn’t allowed to have a gun.

Why are liberals so silly?

If someone there, had a gun, 33 people may NOT be dead today. WHY do they insist on leaving people defenseless? Sitting ducks for a nut case?

[clamper1797]

The idiots never learn do they ?

Fast learner...

[CindyDawg]

Does he have body guards? Are they armed?

[Halls]

Yeah, well that would work wouldn’t it? NOT!

[Ieatfrijoles]

Looks like my old security guard uniform.

[Egon]

Kinda figured.

“Hey, I have a great idea: Let’s disarm the folks who could best prevent a maniac like the one at VA Tech from committing a similar massacre right here in Louisiana! Yeah, that’s the ticket.” - State Rep. Rick Gallot

[NonValueAdded]

I wonder if this is why Sen. Reid made the plea to hold off on a rush to legislate, that Reid knew that bills such as this one in Louisiana would get people thinking. Reid must have some strong polling data that the issue is a loser for the gun control advocates. As Egon points out, VT was a gun-free zone.

[Lazamataz]

BRILLIANT!!!

[TruthConquers]

No No No No No No No No No!!!

What you do is you teach all college kids how to carry and use a gun. Start a defense class, teach’m how to use a gun the right way.

Liberals are just cowards.

[Halls]

Rosie O’Donnell thinks we don’t need to have guns, but she has a body guard who follows her wherever she goes and he is fully loaded up with a gun on him.

See, to a liberal they think they know what is best for us. And to the rich liberals they think they know better than us and that only they can be trusted, but the little people like you and me shouldn’t be trusted.

[Jaysun]

He looks a bit light in the loafers.

[YOUGOTIT]

If someone is going to do a crime it does not make one bit of crap what the law says except to left-wing anti-Americans who will say that the law against guns will protect them from the criminals. Just as the "do not see" orders from judges keep idiots from killing each other. Does not happen.

State Rep. Rick Gallot says he will discuss legislation he plans to re-introduce to prohibit the possession of firearms in college dormitories at 1:30 p.m. today on the steps of the Lincoln Parish Courthouse in Ruston.

“In light of the horrendous tragedy that took place (Monday) on the Virginia Tech campus, I will reintroduce legislation to close a loophole that permits possession of a gun on school campuses,” Gallot said.

So in light of the horrendous tragedy that took place on the Virginia Tech campus, he is reintroducing legislation to ensure that all Louisiana campuses are put under the same conditions that enabled the horrendous massacre. Genius.

[RJL]

Fast learner...

LOL... Well said.

[Ellesu]

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Why not do something useful, like outlawing major storms? Major storms impinging on the territory of Louisiana would be subject to fines and imprisonment, depending upon the severity of the damage; and enhancements depending upon whether lives were lost.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

it’s truly amazing people like this can maintain their balance while they walk..how stupid can he get??

[meyer]

Yeah... ‘cause that worked so well in Virginia.

Exactly - it was the lack of armed students that allowed the VT massacre to continue for over 20 minutes. Had this been attempted in any typical southern city, the perp would have been gunned down within a minute by armed citizens.

[Haroldson]

I simply cannot trust someone with a mustache like his.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

How about banning psychos on campus ?
The gun ban worked in VA-on a campus of 28,000 students and hundreds of professors and ancillary personnel , excluding LE -only one person had a gun.
Just one.
The gun control advocates couldn’t ask for a better statistic.
I think the dialogue should be about how we deal with the mentally ill .
Are less mental patients being confined to institutions because of the hope that new meds can better treat the problem ?
Have our legislators and judges made it harder to commit the mentally ill ?
Is the fear of a lawsuit or political correctness causing more mentally ill to roam free ?

[geo40xyz]

Egon, please use the appropriate title:

democRAT

:-)

[Haroldson]

Problem solved!

[rawcatslyentist]

Why he looks at least twice as qualified to "rep--resent" ... pervert and tax thief!

He'd vote twice for you, shouldn't you do the same?

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Yeah, since it worked so well in Virginia, why don’t you try it in Louisiana too?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Wouldn’t it be more effective passing a law that prevents murders on college campuses?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Metrosexual.

[goodnesswins]

goodnesswins wants to ban IDIOT DEMOCRATS from being involved in ANY WAY with government, politics, etc.

[eyedigress]

Kinda reminds me of this guy.....

[3niner]

Of course, as we all know, someone intent upon going onto a campus and shooting people would never think of violating a law against them taking a gun onto campus to do it.

[Charlespg]

How about we ban idiots in government

[Haroldson]

I have even heard the unbelievably stupid suggestion that people should not be permitted to purchase more than 100 rounds of ammo at a time. The person suggesting it honestly thought that would help prevent shootings such as occurred at VaTech.

[Gorzaloon]

Democrat

Those adult virgins are always mean.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Purple?

[TheDon]

Gallot hates Louisana students as much as Virginia hates their students.

[Haroldson]

Still conducting research. I need to choke a few more smurfs today.
