With the latest school shooting incident having ocurred on Monday, liberals are once again harping about gun control. Apparently liberals believe that gun control laws would stop this violence that has become all too common place in this country. This would have the exact opposite effect actually, gun crimes would escalate as gun laws became stricter. Why? For a very simple reason.
Criminals would feel free to attack more often if there wasn't a chance that the person they attacked wouldn't whip out a gun and shoot back. The thing about criminals is they don't mind breaking the law, I sincerely doubt the Va. Tech shooter was concerned about breaking any laws. What could have stopped the madman from his rampage? A bullet. If a Va. Tech student or faculty member had had a gun on his/her person the killer wouldn't have made it very far.
The fact that any student or faculty member might possibly have a gun might even have stopped this killer from attempting anything and the 32 victims might still be alive and well.
As Brad Stine (a Christian comedian) says if banning guns works so well, "Why stop there, I know, let's ban crime." Ridiculous isn't it folks? But so is this nonsense about gun control making our country safer.

In theory of course I agree with you. But even if something of the kind had happened I'm not sure we could call it a victory. The media would then raise the constant hue and cry of, "Could he have been stopped some other way?" The answer of course is no, but they would raise all kinds of doubt about it. I think the thing to do is for Americans of all persuasions to realize that there is a cultural undercurrent to these kinds of pathologies, and it has little to do with the incidental occurrences like buying a gun or playing violent video games.
