Noticed this bit in an anti-gun editorial entitled Response to Virginia Tech has not gone far enough
It is disturbing that after repeated incidents of campus carnage dating back to Columbine in 1999 and earlier, organizations continue to block effective gun-control legislation. Even worse, some have proposed allowing more guns on campuses, under the Wild West rationale that if every student and teacher is armed, they can defend themselves against a lone, irrational shooter.
Bills such as one before the Alabama legislature would allow guns on state college campuses if the students are properly licensed — as was Kazmierczak.
The shooter was licensed to carry his weapons? In Illinois? Are they sure about that?
