April 16, 2007 time frame : This is a bad time, folks. It's not enough that deranged murderer Cho Seung-Hui carried out evil on one of our school campuses against disarmed victims. There are certain people dancing in the blood, who are poised to remove all of our human rights (relating to defending oneself) within these United States. This page will be updated with information from a variety of sources, in an attempt to truly have more safety.
I recommend you use these posters from Oleg Volk, and get involved. Some folks out there, both foreign and domestic, are after all of the guns (for now), and are hoping that you, your friends, and your family will be prey. While 99%+ (i.e. almost any of the officers I've ever known, or worked with) of the police would try, consider that they have no duty to protect any individuals, and can't be there in under 5 seconds regardless. Folks, you are ultimately responsible for your own protection! (always have been, always will be)
Steyn gets it, and explains it well : Let's be realistic about reality
State Rep. Ben West, Jr. : More gun restrictions won't change behavior
GOA Video coverage of several interviews regarding why Victim Disarmament Zones are a terrible idea
Paraphrased from Suarez International, and link added :
Point One: It is already illegal to do what the gunman did...murder people...but he did it anyway...sadly, the law
failed.
Point Two: It is illegal to bring guns into the University, yet that didn't stop the gunman. He did it anyway...again, the
law failed.
Point Three: As courageous as the University police may be...as trained and equipped as they may be...they are totally
irrelevant in such events. As we saw, they did not stop this man. He killed a boatload of people unbothered by the
enforcers of the law, the prosecutors of the law, and of course, unbothered by those who obey the law.
Again...THE LAW FAILED. There are only three conclusions we may reach here :
Conclusion One: These events are unavoidable and some people will simply die this way in the society we have. I personally
refuse to accept that under any terms.
Conclusion Two: These event can be stopped by making it illegal for civilians to possess guns. The stupidity of this
arguement cannot be overstated, yet that is undoubtedly what we will hear. I will reference all to the points above. In
short, as they all invariably do, THE LAW FAILED.
Conclusion Three:
Allow those who wish to, to carry guns for their own protection. (and I would add, make any organization
that enacts policies to prevent the free exercise of civil rights, liable for any crimes of violence). I think of the three,
this one makes the most sense, but probably the one least considered.
This is another clear cut example of Innocents Betrayed.
