Right. Gun-free zones are a recipe for disaster.
I hope those who were responsible for the passage of the "gun-free zones on school campuses" in Virginia can manage to sleep well every night from now on, because through their shortsightedness and striving to be politically correct, cost the lives of 32 people.
I hope they get their asses sued off myself.
And just to be hyper technical about it, I don't think there was ever actually a law passed making the campus a 'gun free' zone. That was a VT policy. IIUC the Legislature was trying to pass a law forcing VT to abide by current VA law.
When that effort failed, VT simply instituted a policy of expelling any student caught with a firearm legal or no.
So if I've got it right there's really only a small number of people responsible for the 'gun free' (guess not) thing and that's the VT President and his lackeys on the Board.
They should all be sued until they have nothing left.
