OK gun lovers, try and put up your BS propaganda. NRA?? Guns do not kill people, right?? Just people kill people?? How about laying off the grass, crack, JD whiskey etc..and sober up America, and REFLECT, the USA is going down the drain with so much violence, so much non sense, any other developed country on the face of this planet is only laughing at how stupid Americans can be. How many more innocent people need to be killed in cold blood?? Until America has a change of heart, people there will keep shooting and killing each other like some kind of video game, but sadly enough, in real life, GAME OVER is FINAL, no re starting, no re booting your PC, once you are shot dead, you are very, very dead. RIP police officer down there in Virginia.

I can certainly understand how non-Americans can be perplexed by Americans who insist on the right to be able to have a weapon that they can protest themselves with. Actually, there are many American's that feel the same way. However, most (but not all of course) anti-gun American's are city dwellers and politically on the Left. They have adopted a more or less European mindset about politics and individual rights which they then apply to the idea of a persons right to self defense. However, a sizable number of Americans - if not the majority - still adhere to the traditional American idea that each individual has rights and that they should be allowed the opportunity to defend themselves.

It is generally accepted that on occasion there will be unstable people that will use a gun to harm innocent people. What has happened at Virginia Tech - twice now - is a case in point which is well noted. These things get a lot of publicity. What gets virtually no publicity is the person who uses their right to own a gun to defend themselves from crime or personal harm. Those of us that believe in individual freedom see the right to self defense as a necessary right and a responsibility for being free. We do not see ourselves as serfs who have traded our labor for the protection of the local daimyo.

I do acknowledge though that guns make it easier to kill. However, the absence of guns does not mean the absence of murder - it only means that the weak can never hope to prevail when threatened by someone stronger.

Virginia Tech is a part time student? Guess the editor was asleep when that title was put together.

Wolfpack covered the rest...
