Please...no more laws on gun control
Note to Lawmakers:
Don't let what happened in Virginia Tech be a reason for MORE gun control. As noted in the Washington Post today -- Would the university have suffered the same tragedy if Virginia law did not prohibit the carrying of guns on campus?
You know -- having more laws on the books do not make the crazy people out there say "Hey ! I could not buy that gun. I'll just give up the idea of getting a weapon and gunning people down"If they are determined enough they will beg, borrow or steal a weapon while the rest of us are sitting there defenseless.
If our second amendment right - The right to bear arms - was not always being challenged then maybe someone on that campus would have been armed and could have protected themselves.
OK, I am not a card carrying member of the NRA, but I do believe that should have the fundamental right to protect ourselves. Maybe people would think twice about arming themselves to the hilt and gunning people down if they knew that someone might be able to defend themselves
Great blog today that puts this much better than I.
