Why is it that rats are always the first to be inspired to write legislation? How about a Republican gettin inspired to write legislation that would allow guns on campus? Noooooooo... Can’t do that..... Gotta be a timid little RINO.

"Do we even need to bother to tell him that guns were banned on the Tech campus?"

Sure why not? And also tell him how effective that ban was on keeping Seung-hui from doing so. Laws are only for the law-abiding ...

“Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” she said; “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Virginia Tech has a campus gun ban. It didn’t seem to help very much.

Louisiana Democrat Richard Gallot wants to create more victim zones - and mounds of corpses.

A more helpful law would be to prohibit murdering an individual at a campus.

The VT shooter must have broken 100 laws. One more from some idiot legislator WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

This legislation will stop all future mass murderers in their tracks.

They will NOT want to be lawbreakers.

Just when we thought politicians in Louisiana couldn’t get any more stupid, this Legislator proves us wrong.

“The last thing you want on a college campus is a bunch of young, armed folks running around with varying levels of experience or training with handguns. It would not create a safe environment,” Hilliard added.

The stupidity of these people is beyond measure.

How many helpless victims in "gun free" zones does it take before they learn???

A Republican did early last year and the bill was defeated, in Virginia.
