Re: Sad..

Yeah, I am going to do the same thing.

Bar's Night Clubs,

either you trust me to carry a weapon and use it for its intended purpose, or you don't.

I'm tired of not having my gun with me when I visit certain places which I can not avoid.

I firmly believe those who strip us of our self-defense rights and means must not go free. They are just as bad as criminals, unless they can be sued for failing to protect us.

Sadly, no police department can be sued for failing to protect us. They have no responsibility to protect us.

I disagree, however, with the idea that the VT administrators need to be held responsible for the deaths of these people. These are educators, not crime analysts. The VT administrators did not kill them; the shooter did.

However, I do believe that some responsibility rests on law-makers for stripping these students of their self-defense rights.

FYI, the little brain tumor in Whiteman's head had no effect whatsoever. There have been a number of articles and studies done on this.

It is hard to believe, but sadly it's true that there ARE people who just want to get us. Denial does not help. So wake up and face the fact.

I told them that there was no way to do such a thing. Someone who is going into a school and shooting dozens of people is obviously not in his right mind. I cited the Charles Whitman shooting here at UT, and that the guy had a brain tumor that made him insane.

I think it's the same with gun control advocates. For some reason, they think a law is going to stop a criminal from breaking it, and it simply won't.
