The Shooter goes in knowing he has a free fire zone until the police come no one is likely to have a weapon to stop him. He can take his time and take careful aim.

To hell with this, I’m a full time student and after today, my .45 is going in my back pack. It is better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8.

Who would have ever thought that a degenerate psycho killer would ignore a “gun free zone”.

Actually, I take this article as progress. When a legislator can propose such a law without being immediately labeled a nutcase, things are changing. It took Missouri a couple of attempts to get concealed carry, but they eventually did. It took an overriden veto in Kansas. Give this a few years and we may see different results.

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."

Tragic liberal idiocy.

This article and the consequences will be ignored by the msm, while the brady bunch will swoop in like vultures to call for more victim disarmament.

[rbosque]

More victims of liberal lunacy. Wake up America!

“Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated.”

Someone needs to ask him how happy he is today.

ban on students or employees carrying guns

I guess that includes university security guards.

How on EARTH could a firearm be present on campus when they’re illegal?? Something just doesn’t add up here! -_-

[pianomikey]

Here’s what would have happened, had the bill passed: the gunman would have killed one or two students, been permanently put out of commission by law abiding heroes, and the whole issue would have been blamed on the passage of this bill: “SEE! We need fewer guns on campus, not more! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!!” Nobody but a conservative would have predicted the outcome of twenty dead and dozens injured.

It would be the whole “everyone’s equally guilty” ploy all over again. Guns in the hands of heroes, guns in the hands of bloodthirsty murderers, when will it ever stop!?

the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police came out against the presence of guns on campus.

Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

The state of Utah allows people who have a CWP to carry a gun onto school grounds.

Utah has never had a school shooting.

How happy is he now ??

These students could have defended themselves

I' m sure all the victims at VA Tech are feeling safer today....../sarc

Larry Hincker is a liberal fool. He and his university cops could not defend the students slaughtered today, and they certainly did not keep weapons out of the hands of the killer on campus. He ought to have his face rubbed in his foolish words of last year, and the university should be sued by the parents of the victims.

Before coming to Virginia Tech, Hincker worked for 14 years in various corporate communications positions including manager of Public Information for a division of Westinghouse in Washington and employee communications manager for a division of Rockwell International. Hincker studied architecture, spent 10 years as a corporate photographer, has a bachelor’s degree from Brooks Institute, and an MBA from Virginia Tech.

Drunken college kids with loaded weapons? I don’t think so.

it’s terribly sad.

All: I'm posting from U.Va., Tech's cross-state rival. Believe me, the folks here generally do not actively enforce the rules in dorms with regards to weapons, drugs, alcohol. Any enforcement is passive (e.g., an underage student is spotted drinking alcohol on the steps of a dorm building).

I would not be surprised if the situation at Tech is similar.
