OK Back to the buisness at hand.
It is my FIRM belief that in the end the antigunners will find a way to blame the guns, the ammo, anything but the shooter. They will make him out to be the victim, and will try to use leverage to try to do more damage to gunowners.
The real solution? The only real solution is to arm all those who CAN be legally armed. My paper work has been sent in for my CCW and you better believe that as soon as it comes back I am taking the class, and starting to carry. Yes while at work I have to leave it in the vehicle, BUT at least it will be where I can get to it. IF and when Texas passes the law as Utah did that you can carry CCW on a college campus with a license you can bet I won't ever be unarmed again. If ANY single professor or student in those classrooms had been armed do you think that as many would have died? I doubt it.
It is time to wake up and smell the coffee folks. We have rampant terrorism in the world today. We have school shootings on a semi-regular basis. We have rapes, robberies, murders, and a continuous list of heinous and despicable crimes. EACH AND EVERY TIME we wonder why the police didn't respond sooner (Take a look sometime at how many police per capita there is around and you will find a big part of that answer). Why the bad guy had a weapon (I'm sorry it isn't politically correct to say bad guy is it? He is just a confused mentally ill person)? Why didn't somebody realize this nutcase had problems, or why didn't those who knew he had problems report it? Instead of trying to fix the unfixable why don't we do what we should have done in the first place? We defend ourselves. We defend our family. We defend our personal property. And we defend those who can't defend themselves. THAT is what I was taught was to be a man when I was growing up. When did that die?
The answer is it didn't. In the John Wayne movie McClintock O'hara's character says something on the lines of "I dred these changing times." The daughters response was "It isn't the times that are changing momma."
In the end THAT is what is the truth. Times are not changing people are. That bad are getting badder, and the sheep are getting deader (If that is a word). Defend yourselves. Because you can be damned sure nobody else is going to.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
