By JOHN R. LOTT, JR.
January 25, 2002 -- ANOTHER school shooting occurred last week and the headlines were everywhere the same, from Australia to Nigeria. This time the shooting occurred at a university, the Appalachian Law School. As usual, there were calls for more gun control.

Thanks for the flag- Second Amendment bump indeed! Looks like this tragedy could have been worse if those guys didn't have guns. I've always imagined W. VA to be a more pro-gun state- am I right? If so, what would we see if this had happened at a law school in some gun-grabbing state? Shudder..

A powerful statement for the right to keep and bear arms!
Of course the socialistic liberals will never understand it, they're nothing but MORONS with an agenda to turn us all into slaves of the government!

Funny thing, I don't get around to reading the Post much these days, but my Mom told me about the Dunleavy piece that night on the phone, so I read and copied it.

"I hadn't known the true story of this shooting at all..." And that's the way the media want to keep it. - The truth is always harmful, when your cause is a lie.
Guns save lives, often without even having to use them.

Thanks for the ping, e-s. I had seen this in the Post and then got it by e-mail too. Isn't it wonderful?

" Isn't it wonderful?" It'll be wonderful when enough people get acquainted with the facts that the thugs can no longer hornswaggle people out of their right to be safe wherever they go.

The fact that the liberal media has surpressed the truth about what really happened at that W. VA Law College speaks volumes about its anti-Second Amendment bias.
To: JulieRNR21;all
The book "Bias" is just a start. All of us would buy a book on media bias against gun research, gun owners, and truthful crime stats.
Do publishers really want to make money, or just push liberal books? Do they read the writing on the wall?

"Do publishers really want to make money, or just push liberal books?" The answer to that question lies in the fact that they were happy to reward the Klintons with millions of dollars in advance for their ghost-written books that nobody but their far-left echo-chorus would be likely to buy.

"...speaks volumes about its anti-Second Amendment bias." They don't give a rat's seat cushion about the 2nd ammendment. - What they fear is anything that empowers the people. - UN tyranny cannot succeed without supressing dissent, and our guns are the only thing left in their way.
To: mrustow
Yet in this age of "gun-free school zones," one fact was missing from virtually all the news coverage.....Yeah.
The perpetrator was a Nigerian.
The majority of Nigeria's poulation are Muslims.
You'd think the media would have made mention of that.

It never occurred to me that there was a connection between GCA and the 60's (duh!), but then, I was only ten at the time, and I never think about GCA, unless someone else mentions it.
As for these laws being limited to present and former LEOs, that is obviously based on the same sort of statist thinking that put us in this mess, to begin with. BTW, in New York, I've had to fight off or elude would-be muggers on several occasions; only once was a witness able to get the police there in time to help me. r in, and then leave out the emergency exit.) The thinking behind a law that gives special treatment to LEOs is the thinking that forces citizens to be slkaved of the state, whom the state in turn owes nothing (Dial 911 and Die). Such laws will have no benefit.

Mark
P.S. What is "2A"?

Worse still, the chorus singers don't even pay for their books; they get comp copies of everything.
