In the aftermath of tragedy, small minded people always try to allocate blame. I suppose it’s part of the healing process. As a rationally minded individual, I generally tend to blame the person responsible. In the case of yesterday’s atrocity, that person was the murderer. If, however, we MUST direct blame to a certain group, then I propose the Gun Control Lobby.
By restricting guns all across America, they’ve turned Americans into herds of defenseless victims like sheep to the slaughter. I'm a combat veteran, a taxpaying citizen, and I have a concealed carry permit. If more people with concealed carry permits were at VA Tech yesterday, much of the tragedy could have been averted. Alas, even people with permits can’t legally carry on a college campus. Thus, only criminals (i.e. Cho Seung-Hui) will have guns. We’ve all head the “if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns” cliché. In this instance, I think the proof is in the pudding. Any thoughts?
