Gun control laws save 32 on Virginia Tech Campus
The state of Virginia is a concealed carry state. Anyone passing a background check over the age of 18 can legally carry a loaded handgun. But Virginia Tech, the scene of what may be the worst mass shooting in our nation's history, is a "gun-free zone". This means that even if a student or faculty member can legally carry in the state of Virginia, they may not carry a concealed handgun on campus.
So what happened yesterday was that a bunch of law-abiding students and faculty members went to school, like any other day, and because they were law-abiding citizens, they did not carry handguns on campus.
However, one guy DID bring guns to the Virginia Tech campus yesterday. And he ended 32 lives before ending his own. He ended 32 innocent lives because the others on campus were playing by the rules and not carrying guns on a campus in a state where they legally may carry guns.
In January of 2006 an attempt was made to change the rule at Virginia Tech and allow students and faculty to carry on campus, but it died in the General Assembly. And in that moment, the fates of 32 innocents were sealed. Of course, no one can say for certain that if concealed carry had been allowed on the campus of Virginia Tech, that no one would have been killed yesterday during the attack. But we can say that perhaps someone would have been in a position to stop the shooter. If a student or faculty member had been carrying their legal firearm yesterday, and had been in the vacinity, the rampage could have been stopped. Would they have taken down the shooter after his first victim, or his 5th? No one knows. All we know is that no one got the chance to defend themselves and 32 people who obeyed the law are dead at the hands of one young man who ignored the law.
Yeah, those gun control laws are really protecting people. Let's pass some more.
Here's the problem with the unconstitutional gun laws that the more....shall we say....left leaning folks support.
CRIMINALS DON'T OBSERVE THE LAW. THAT'S THAT MAKES THEM FUCKING CRIMINALS. Laws against concealed carry do nothing more than ensure that when the shit goes down, as it did on the Virginia Tech campus.....no one will be able to defend themselves.
