Thoughts on the Virginia Tech massacre

There's been plenty said about yesterday's events, but for some reason I'm not terribly inclined to say much at this point. I think in a week or so, when more facts come out, things will appear much different than they do now.

As for the issue of gun control, I think it's obvious that the no guns policy the university was so proud of a year ago was a complete and abject failure. Now I don't know if having one or even several CCWs in the building would have prevented the shooting, but I do know it would have evened the odds significantly. As far as I'm concerned, given the choice between jumping out the fourth-story window and shooting back I know which one I'd choose.

Let Freedom Ring!

The Second Amendment confers an individual right.

In other news, water is wet, fire is hot, and Bill Clinton is a philanderer.

This is a great victory, if only because the biggest losers are the Democrat Party. They won last fall by ignoring the gun control issue; if it is a major issue next year they'll have a hard time winning the moderates they captured last time around.

It's a good day, indeed.
