Anyone mouthing expressions of sympathy or revulsion of such events are liars if they don’t also call for and work for the removal of all impediments to the keeping and bearing of the tools of defense of self and others. And these monsters by proxy number in the thousands. They are liars unless they admit they are glad this happened as a possible impetus to push their totalitarian agendae.

Well, freedom is at fault in any situation, as we all very well know, so it follows that a mass murder, made possible by citizen disarmament, should be blamed on both the right to bear arms (which was utterly denied in this case, but what the hell, blame it anyway) and on free speech.

Makes perfect sense to me. You all didn’t predict this?

Got a better idea: How about we de-fund any tax payer-funded institution that infringes (look up the word if you don’t understand its meaning) on, or lobbies for the infringement of, anyone’s Constitutionally protected rights? Not saying they can’t have a no-guns policy, or a don’t-report-anything-for-a-week-policy, just that we shouldn’t be forced to give them a single penny when they do. That, people, is freedom.

“A better approach might be for newspapers to publish records of all addresses and persons without means of self-defenxe, sort of like they do for real estate transfers. This way we could prevent a lot of violent burglaries.”

The battle begins.

It is exactly the anti 2nd Amendment gnomes argument turned on the 1st Amendment. I needed the laugh. And bless the guy who sends them to the anti-gun newspapers in hopes of seeing one printed – as if!

An editorial today in the Manchester (NH) Union-Leader sums it up – “One gun on campus is not enough.”

And as an aside to #9 – the founders didn’t create the right, the whole Bill of Rights is simply a recognition os rights they saw as natural rights – and therefore pre-existed their codification in the Constitution.

I recall some anonymous quote from years ago – “Those that beat their swords into plowsshares will plow for those who don’t.”

Any guesses as to who spews this advice?

“An armed society is a polite society.” Robert Heinlein, “Beyond This Horizon”

Side affect of the echo chamber process. When everyone thinks alike there is no one to call them on it. Doesn’t seem very progressive does it?

Some guy on NIT asked for a day of not posting about the VT tragedy and then closed his post with a smart ass comment showing he was anti-gun/anti-self defense.

I called him on it and of course he suggested a face to face meeting so he could straighten me out. The anti-self defense people are more than happy to threaten people but they don’t want to allow people the ability to defend themselves. Ironic isn’t it?

Of course in places where the anti-self defense movement has confiscated firearms like in England, the amount of knife crimes go up. Now England is confiscating knives. What is next, garden hoes?

Only in a society where people have the right of self defense can there be civility.

Fortunately the founders of this nation understood this and provided for that right.
