Ever notice that there a lots of mass-killings in “gun-free zones”, aka “criminal safety zones” but there aren’t any at police stations or military bases?

Liberals adore felons. Why, they wouldn't want them to be killed by crazed right-wing nutjobs. Welcome to The Twilight Zone.

My own university sent a very interesting letter out stating among several things that firearms are permitted on campus in certain specific circumstances. Without reading too much into it, it seemed to me a very revealing reaction and one that I wouldn't have expected. We'll see where they go with it. The author's state just passed legislation rescinding some of the restrictions on concealed weapons in public buildings. The anti-gun zealots are making all the usual noises but I don't think it's working this time. Maybe people really have had enough. We'll see.

We had a mall shooting and it was an armed citizen that brought it to an end. Guns aren’t bad, people are.

Virginia Tech doesn't have that kind of trust in its students (or its faculty, for that matter). Neither does the University of Tennessee. Both think that by making their campuses "gun-free," they'll make people safer, when in fact they're only disarming the people who follow rules, law-abiding people who are no danger at all.

I don't see how he could know how he or she would react in such a situation, with perhaps half a dozen others in the room carrying. Has he ever been under fire? Has she? Especially face-to-face with some deranged guy in a killing frenzy who knows he's gonna die?

It might be reasonable to have a program something like air marshalls. Students and faculty who have state carry permits and who would be willing to undergo screening and combat training to obtain a campus carry permit.

This needs to be repeated over and over and over. Cho Seung-hui didn't give a flying you-know-what Virginia Tech was a gun free zone, and neither will other nutjobs, terrorists or plain old criminals.

I don’t encourage anyone to do anything illegal, but I have a permit, and when I feel like I need to carry, I carry, and I mean everywhere.

While they whine and scream that the campus was not shut down in the hours between the shootings, while the perp was mailing his package to the MSM, it's my understanding that one of the first two victims boyfriends was "into guns", and became the immediate suspect.

Now, if the boyfriend had been with her, and had his gun with him then this would have ended there, wouldn't it have.

After MO passed the concealed carry permit law, my bank put up a sign stating that concealed carry of any weapons was not allowed. I mentioned to the bank branch manager how safe I felt in the bank, knowing that no bank robber or murderer would dare bring a gun into the bank, what with that sign there, and all!

He wasn't amused, and I told him that I wasn't either. And I assured him that anytime I was carrying a concealed weapon, if I needed something at the bank, I'd only use the drive through. After all, it's not like they could trust me... Everyone at the bank knows me, and I've been a customer at that branch for more than 15 years, without even a bounced check.

I'd have threatened to take my business to another bank, but there simply aren't any banks that DON'T have a similar sign posted.

Only one policy has ever been shown to deter mass murder: concealed-carry laws. In a comprehensive study of all public, multiple-shooting incidents in America between 1977 and 1999, the inestimable economists John Lott and Bill Landes found that concealed-carry laws were the only laws that had any beneficial effect.

The carnage from Islamo Nazis and mental psychotics (Is there a difference?) cannot be eliminated but it can be minimized. The nanny state, no-responsibility, socialist, relativistic, hedonistic culture must be replaced by a responsible, principled, dirty oriented, honor-bound warrior culture.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Leftist nonsense like “gun free zones”, “gun bans” make leftists feel good but endanger innocent people.
To sum it up, PC KILLS!

Why did’t the shooter start for the campus, realize there was a gun ban in effect, and call the whole thing off? Gun ban laws are supposed to keep guns off campus!
