Important Stuff -- Or Not: They Were Warned

They Were Warned

So, I just woke up for a drink of water and made the mistake I always make -- I turned on the TV. And there was chaos. Some "mad gunman" as the media describes him, killed 32 people and himself. The ghoulish gun grabbers will exploit this situation to "prove" that guns need to be banned. This shooting could not have been prevented by gun control, but was the RESULT of gun control. Here's a portion of an e-mail I got from the president of the Virginia Citizen's Defense League, which I recently joined.

As most of you know VCDL has been pushing hard to change Virginia law to allow college and university students with concealed handgun permits to be able to carry a gun on campus for self-defense. Last year Delegate Todd Gilbert put in such a bill for us and so did Delegate Mark Cole this year. We could not get the bills out of subcommittee. We warned the General Assembly that violent crime can, and does, happen on campuses across the Commonwealth. But the university and college lobbyists swore that crime was not an issue and that the schools did not want students and visitors to be able to defend themselves with a gun or other weapon. They argued that the schools had little boxes with lights that had a button someone could press if they needed the police. The General Assembly turned a deaf ear to allowing college and university students to be able to protect themselves and here we are today :-( While it is NOT illegal for a college or university student with a CHP to carry in Virginia, they could get expelled (or fired if a teacher). And that is a severe enough financial penalty that students don't want to take the chance. Who can blame them? But, I'll bet a few are reconsidering their position now. Expelled by 1 or carried by 6?

Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox News just said the school will very likely now face a HUGE lawsuit because although it is legal for the students to carry a gun off campus, they can't carry them for self-protection on campus.

Anonymous said...: I'm curious to know if the shooter used his own legal guns to commit this crime.

I'd be willing to bet money that he didn't.

But then again, it really doesn't matter.

It is already against the law to shoot people with a gun, whether it is registered or not, no matter what kind of permit you have.; 8:33 PM
Lone Ranger said...: There are some reports that this guy was a Chinese on a student visa who was dumped by his girlfriend. If true, we just got a taste of Chinese culture. Chinese males do not take rejection lightly. In fact, this is fairly routine in China. Some guy gets dumped and walks onto a bus with a bomb or kills the girl and her family or some other stupid thing.; 9:11 PM

They don't. And they won't.

As a woman, I can tell you that my ability to handle a firearm is a great equalizer for me when I'm forced by circumstances to be somewhere I would rather not be at a time I shouldn't be there. For me, peace is spelled Smithandwesson.; 10:41 PM

Lone Ranger said...: I dunno. They were a tad slow, letting the guy leisurely shoot 30 people before they broke in. In a situation like that, police should throw caution to the wind and charge in full-bore, guns blazing. There's no negotiating with these people and every second they're alive means another person dies. They should go in with the intention of killing the gunman as quickly as possible.

Also, in the first shooting of a man and woman, they thought it was a murder-suicide -- despite the fact that there was no gun at the scene. Took them an hour to figure that one out.; 6:34 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
