Virginia Tech Students Doomed by Gun Ban [a 'must read']

I just found out about the massacre at Virginia Tech.

The thing that makes me most angry is that the dead students were penned up like sheep for the slaughter, in a ridiculous "gun-free zone." A better phrase would be "self-defense-free zone," or maybe "danger-free zone for armed criminals."

You raise a concern that I have had since 9/11. Would I fight back? Would anyone? Are we a nation of pu$$!e$? I finally reassured myself that after 9/11 we would no longer be victims, but this makes me wonder again.

A SINGLE, (JUST ONE!!) legally armed student could have saved DOZENS

But Liberals made sure THAT didn’t happen, and that the students were available to be slaughtered like SHEEP!

“In June, Tech’s governing board approved a violence prevention policy reiterating its ban on students or employees carrying guns and prohibiting visitors from bringing them into campus facilities.”

He was able to line up those poor students and execute them PRECISELY because he knew they were not armed.

No law-abiding, sane, armed citizen in sight. Just a deranged criminal; the kind of person dumb policies and laws can never disarm... In reality, gun control is what sealed [the innocent victims'] doom... The beauty of privately owned guns is that they work while the cops are still across town. Government guns respond to shootings; privately owned guns prevent them.

When you're right, you're right. And you are definitely RIGHT...

Gun Control = Death

All the evidence you need to support the above claim is in the news from Blacksburg, Virginia today.

"No comparison...Place guns in the hands of 4000 students in a school in Los Angeles and see what happens."

I beg to differ. Like others here have posted, not every student is going to exercise their right to own a weapon, much less do what it takes to obtain a concealed carry permit...

This cant be repeated enough.

Many folks that are skeered of guns tell me all you need is a cell phone for protection.

A cell phone is good for reporting the crime after the fact, provided you survive.

2007 - Where are you now Larry?

Larry was, literally, fronting this afternoon's press conference at VT.

I might be wrong, but I don't recall him bringing up his earlier statements.

Yes, they will paint it as a broken heart/girlfriend issue, not a jihad.

I can tell you what will happen. Metal detectors will go up at every building on campus, bag searches, bans on certain kinds of backpack, mandatory classes on violence prevention etc etc etc.
