Here We Go Again...More Gun Laws Will Solve Nothing
I continually hear about the rest of the worlds "contempt" for America, for our "Overly Agressive Foreign Policies," for our "Culture of Consumption," and our "Gun Culture;" what I don't hear is the cessation of the patter of little alien feet rushing to enter our "evil" society and indulge in our "decadent" culture.
Seems these snooty, self-righteous, "feriners" aren't above prostituting their values in their mad rush to become American citizens...Funny how that works isn't it?
As for the now numbered 33 dead students, this is a great shame and sad event, but it is not the result of any "culture of guns." It is the result of a culture which has lost its soul. It is a culture which has abandoned itself, not to God, but to Mammon.
Any society which places man above God, which places the material above the spiritual is doomed in the same way that Romans doomed themselves. It was self-seeking, the devaluation of life which ultimately doomed Rome and which if not reversed in this society, will doom America.
As the Bible says in Mathew (6:24):
"Powerful automatic weapons" have been illegal to possess for a very long time in America without proper licenses; more's the shame. The Second Amendment, and the "Natural Rights" of all men, with which we are "endowed by our Creator" dictate that the possession of firearms should, for law abiding citizens, be an unrestricted right
First, it is not the laws of man that will ever stop this kind of tragedy from occurring, it is only the Laws of God that can accomplish such a miracle.
Second, no law passed by any body of lawmakers will prevent an event like this from occurring. Even in the most oppressive of regimes mass killing by the disaffected will and have occurred. I find it most interesting that those in Britain who have such a high opinion of their own culture and its increasingly oppressive laws, extending now to the possession of "large knives," could not prevent the tragic killing of 52 citizens by terrorists in the London Underground July 7, 2005.
Surely if laws and awareness of risks were all that was necessary to prevent such a tragedy, then Britain, with almost 4 full years of warning since the attacks of 9/11 could have easily prevented such an occurrence. That they didn't-couldn't-speaks volumes as to the value of such foolish if well-meant efforts to pass some law.
I knew that as surely as the sun would rise today, the anti-gun forces would be out in droves following this massacre, as they are following every tragedy involving a firearm in an effort to take advantage of the sorrow and sympathy we all naturally feel for the victims in this mass killing.
Once again we see that, for the Left, political agenda trumps humanity. Their first reactions appear to be, "Oh! How tragic. How can we take advantage of this situation?" We have witnessed this kind of cold-blooded calculation by those on the Left numerous times, including their willingness to exploit the suffering of the families and loved ones of our troops killed in battle.
The fact is, had some of those students been allowed to carry concealed firearms rather than being banned from campus, this tragic event would most certainly have been far less tragic. Again and again we see situations in which it is the absence of a ready firearm, not the presence of too many firearms which exacerbates such a massacre. One shot from a sure and steady hand would have ended this mad-man's rampage and far fewer deaths would have resulted.
If Americans don't wake up and realize the folly of the bilge that people like Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, and Dianne Feinstein are selling threatens rather than strengthens their safety, this society can only expect more of these events.
It took police a substantial amount of time to find and end this killer. The presence of a couple of armed and well trained students with CCL's (and I have no doubt that in Virginia there are more than a few so qualified) would have ended this rampage, or at the least stopped his progress long enough for the police to get there and put an end to it.
Long Live Our American Republic-and Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms!

Shock, Sympathy And Denunciation Of U.S. Gun LawsAs is typical of the elite of the Left, particularly idiots like Ashcroft who probably obtained his degree because he needed therapy more than those he claims to help, he gets it completely wrong. I am not aware of any "supermarket" which you can "go into and get a powerful automatic weapon." For that matter, I am not aware of any gun store in America into which you can go and obtain a "powerful automatic weapon" without filling out all sorts of paperwork paying exorbitant fees and undergoing a long and very thorough background investigation.
British Newspaper Asks, 'What Price the Right to Bear Arms?'

LONDON, April 16 -- The Virginia Tech shootings received extensive news coverage around the world Monday, leading many to question how such violence could keep happening in the United States.
In Britain, there was shock at the scale of the killings, but many people said they were not surprised, seeing the United States as a nation obsessed with guns, where firearms are easy to obtain.
"I think the reason it happens in America is there's access to weapons -- you can go into a supermarket and get powerful automatic weapons," Keith Ashcroft, a psychologist, told the Press Association. Ashcroft said he believed such access, along with a culture that makes gun ownership seem normal, increases the likelihood of such attacks in the United States.
"When you look at these cases, someone is depressed and they have access to weapons, they're going to be using that method to kill," Ashcroft said. "It's just simple opportunity."
"Powerful automatic weapons" have been illegal to possess for a very long time in America without proper licenses; more's the shame.
