Another
mass shooting on a college campus.
Before the blood is dry on the floor in Snyder Hall on the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore where the shooting took place, the
gun control nuts are shouting for more gun control.
People! Sheeple! People!
When are you going to get it through your thick skulls? People who decide to do these kinds of things don’t care about laws and rules.
Places like New York City, Connecticut, Colorado, Chicago and Baltimore have some of the highest rates of gun-related violence -- yet they have the most restrictive gun laws.

Stupid, evil, angry, emotionally unstable
people will find a way to get weapons and use them. Gun control laws only serve to limit people's freedom to protect themselves in these kinds of situations. Gun control laws strip away the defenses
of decent, law-abiding people who might be able to come to the aid in a
situation like this before the police can arrive. What would have happened if the
campus security guard carried a weapon?
Is it possible that he could have been on the scene and taken down or
distracted the shooter before he killed nine people and injured another 20?
There was a hero story about an army veteran who took several bullets as he kept charging at the gunman. What would have happened if the veteran had a gun?

Think about it.
Consider – what are the possibilities that a
would-be perp might be dissuaded if he had reason to believe that somebody had
the means to stop him from carrying out his sick mission?
Case in point – the infamous crazy Colorado
movie theater shooter. He didn’t go to
the theater closest to his home. He sought
a theater where it was posted that people were not permitted to have guns.
If I were in charge, I would post signs letting it be known that gun owners were welcome and encouraged in parks, buildings and other properties, to discourage crooks and crazies from believing that they could get away with trying to come in and shoot up the place.
I know that violence and death are hard things to think about. It is unpleasant to realize that there are evil people in the world. But I firmly believe that the best thing for society and the perps themselves might be to take them out before they can harm or kill innocent people.
If your spouse, your child, your parents or your best friends were caught in this kind of fire fight and you knew you had a chance to save them by having a weapon and knowing how to use it, would you wait for the police or would you take up your weapon and open fire to take down a sick, evil maniac and try to prevent as many deaths or injuries to the innocent as possible?
