You would be correct if the problem at VT, and other "gun-free-zones" was that defenseless people are only subject to being shot to death.
But the truth is that defenseless people can be murdered in various ways. And the most effective personal defense measure to prevent such slaughter is to allow competent, law-abiding adults to carry concealed firearms.
The VT administration is most certainly responsible for requiring the victim in this case to be disarmed. The feel-good effort of transmitting two emails to the entire student body had no protective effect whatever for the victim. The administration might as well issue chalk to the students so that they can draw circles around the bodies without having to wait for the campus police.

Responsible for not allowing a Chinese national to be armed? Really?
