Virginia Tech's policy of "providing a safe and secure environment" by banning all firearms on campus except for those (police and security) who will provide safety and defense, obviously denuded their students. This ban includes even those with a Virginia state permit to carry. It's my best judgment that maybe just a few of those students and family members wished someone today had had a concealed permit and was carrying, rather than waiting, and waiting...and waiting for the police and campus security.
One argument against guns is that accidental shootings could cause harm. This is quite true given the
neutering and effemination of some of our male society in this country on the left.
I wonder how Bill Maher views the gunman. Killing defenseless, innocent civilians earned praise from Maher once before, as long as it could be seen that the killers would be killed or take their own lives in the event..
And what of Ward Churchill? What is his opinion of the gunman? Is it another case of "the chickens coming home to roost" as he once put it? Something set this gunman off (was it his girlfriend or a bad grade?). What we need now, is understanding and compassion. After all, there's another victim here, and that's the gunman.
And what will Sara Brady do? If she hasn't already, she'll call for more gun control. Yes, I know, the only person who Sara left with a gun was the criminal gunman, but just wait; you'll see her on CNN demanding more Hitlerian style gun control. And where is Virginia Senator James "I have that right" Webb on support of defenseless students' right to carry?
Here's a wager. Two campuses, two different signs at their entrances. The first at Ann Coulter U. , "30% of our students conceal carry." The other at Kumbaya U., "Welcome to a gun-free zone." Logically, the latter would be the school of choice to anyone wanting to kill as many as possible before he is stopped and has a song written about him.
Addendum to Virginia Tech firearms policy dated 4/17/2007: 'No one, AND REALLY WE MEAN NO ONE, is allowed on campus with a firearm. Never, ever, ever!! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER!!!!' Whew! Now we're safe.
