That campus isn't a "gun-free-zone"? I'm sure it will be soon.

I'm not used to feminists with guns.

A hairy armpit and an annoying voice will not always stop a 280 pound rapist.

But it is pointless to try to deny the link between more handguns and increased murder and suicide rates.

It's pointless because then the antis would have to explain why an increase in the number of firearms in this country has been accompanied by a decrease in firearms death rates.

But there's abundant evidence that having more handguns also means more gun thefts, more armed robbery, more suicide and more murder

False. More guns means less of all these things - as partially shown later in this very silly article where England's rising violent crime rate is mentioned. But then a lack of consistency is no surprise.

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -

And now We roam in Sovereign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him -
The Mountains straight reply -

And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through -

And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master's Head - 'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's
Deep Pillow - to have shared -

To foe of His - I'm deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without--the power to die--

Emily Dickinson, Mt Holyoke alumnus

Typical liberal spin: an unsubstantiated claim that he is correct.

I can only picture this reporter covering his ears, closing his eyes and repeatedly saying "Don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, don't bother me with the truth, la la la lala lala laalaalaaaaa!"
