Here we go...
... more "gun control" in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
I've been saying for some time now that those who would ban guns outright are just waiting for something "big" to happen. Well, they've got it, and those of us who advocate an armed society are screwed. That's not me being a defeatist ... that's realism. It's tough to argue for personal freedoms in the form of a gun when CNN is howling about a massacre.
Don't think for a minute I don't hate it ... I just call 'em like I see 'em.
LawDog has some relevant thoughts on the matter:
That's modern America for you.
We die on our knees so we can claim to be "peaceful" and we make it the duty of the state to see to it to make us "safe" - no matter how oppressive the measures to achieve that end may be. No degree of gun control or knife control or sharp stick control can help us now. We seem to be willing to be locked in chains and to endure constant surveillance to acheive that end. Our society keeps getting more and more Orwellian, and we just can't seem to get enough.
Never mind the fact that it's illegal to have guns on the VA Tech campus, and cameras are everywhere. How'd that work out for 'em?
Oh, and not so long ago, the powers-that-be in VA recently denied the rights of students to be armed on campus.
Great job, Larry. How many of your students felt safe today?
It's a good thing no other students on campus were armed. There might have been a bloodbath. Goodness.
Democrats control Congress, and another one will soon be President, and the modern incarnation of the Democrat party is more than happy to put the people in chains while assuring them it's for the greater good. Gun control was a winner - at least in the short term - for the Dems during the Clinton years in the wake of (gawd I'm already sick of hearing this word come up again) Columbine.
The timing of this thing sucks.
The independent fighting spirit which built this country is dead and gone.
Stick a fork in us. We're done.
I'm just going to sit here and watch this happen.

One man. On a campus of 25,000 people. 25,000 people surrounded by fire extinguishers, book bags, pencils, pens, drafting compasses, chairs, broom handles, power strips, ceramics, chains and everything heavy and/or sharp.
One man managed to gun down fifty people -- or more -- without being stabbed and bludgeoned to death where he stood by the other 24,950 people.
That's modern America for you.

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
Great job, Larry. How many of your students felt safe today?
