Gun Control Idiocracy makes Va Tech(and 32 students) its next victim.
As most of you have heard a terrible shooting happened at Virginia Tech University today, Monday April, 16, at the time of writing at least 33 people were killed and around 15 wounded. It is the deadliest shooting in US history. It is unclear who the shooter was or what his motivation was.
Let me start by sending my condolences to the families. My prayers are with the families and friends of those killed and wounded. This emphasizes that we are never as secure as we believe and it is only by God’s protection that we avoid as many incidents as we do. In an effort to prevent the next shooting we must ask ourselves what could have prevented this. Of course the gun control crowd will start screaming about the evil of guns and how they should be banned, but we know better.
The V. Tech campus was already a gun free zone, and yet somehow this shooter had a gun. Not only did he miraculously carry a gun into a gun free zone but he also managed to carry with him massive amounts of ammo. Not having guns on campus didn’t protect anyone; in fact it harmed about 50 innocent people. By removing the ability of innocent civilians to retaliate we cripple them. They must simply sit in their classroom and hope this evil man doesn’t open the door. Brilliant, that will stop the killing.
If only these people were allowed to protect themselves we would be looking at maybe 5 dead, maximum. 28 lives lost because of a policy that only disarms the innocent. After all the definition of a criminal is someone who does not obey the law, so what exactly makes someone believe that criminal will obey gun control laws. We entrust much more powerful weapons and our lives to 18 year olds, why can’t these people be allowed to defend themselves. An armed society is a polite society, and only when we allow ourselves to defend ourselves will these shootings stop.
May those affected come to know God’s peace and mercy.
