More Guns Needed Now
Virginia Tech MassacreAfter the worst U.S. shooting rampage in history, one perpetrated by a man -- nothing less than a homespun terrorist -- wearing a tattoo depicting one of the most violent expressions of fundamentalist Islamic iconography (to wit "Ismail Ax"), it may shock some to embrace the surest, soundest solution to prevention of this type of catastrophe in the future: more guns. Specifically, the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves with personal handguns. Any one of those 32 killed in Blacksburg could have popped off a shot fast long enough to get the second shot perfect, or to otherwise distract the shooter while others escaped under cover.
Quoting Reuters, advocates of gun ownership rights saw Monday's massacre as evidence of the need to relax gun laws rather than tighten them.
"All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last 10 years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen -- a potential victim -- had a gun," said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America.
"The latest school shooting at Virginia Tech demands an immediate end to the gun-free zone law which leaves the nation's schools at the mercy of madmen."

Why does AOL add descriptions of an
old clansman to an article about a
town that has a law that every household own a gun? Your news is biased and slanted to fit their
agenda. Spewwers of crap that they are.

It is our second amendment right to own and bear arms. they are trying to take away our freedom of speech, Wake-up America, the USA is gradually becoming a dictatorship.
Violence begets violence. As long as we insist on allowing free access to guns whose use is only to kill others to anyone, we will contine to condone the unnecessary murders that rank us the most violent developed nation in the world.
Obviously free speech is alive & well and completely unrelated to the acquiessence of our violent society.
THIS IS A SLEEPER KILLER SENT HERE TO KILL AMERICANS. BETTER START PASSING OUT GUNS INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT TAKING THEM AWAY. WE'ER BORN A FREE AND VIOLENT NATION AND THE VIOLANCE IS WHAT WILL KEEP US FREE.
