Abolish "Gun-Free Zones"

That's the best, and ONLY answer to the significant increase in school shootings (many of which are "copycat" shootings by people who got the idea from Columbine). If the principal at Columbine had been armed, he could have put a couple into the head of one of the shooters, whom he was able to watch while he was shooting into a room. Instead, he just "backed away" so as to stay alive himself. CCKRKBA says, "BELLEVUE, WA - While anti-gun organizations are demanding that Congress quickly pass new legislation in response to the Virginia Tech massacre, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms suggests another approach: Abolish the concept of 'gun free zones.' 'Every tragic school shooting, and attacks such as those at Salt Lake City's Trolley Square, Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, and the Tacoma Mall had one common denominator,' said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. 'They all happened in so-called 'gun-free zones'." Last spring's attack at Virginia Tech occurred months after the university proudly lobbied the Virginia Assembly to continue prohibiting legally-licensed students and faculty from carrying defensive handguns on campus. Thirty-two students and instructors died when Cho Sueng- Hui went on a rampage that might have been stopped short by an armed student or instructor." But NO! Our idiot legislators will cling to the idea that you can stop criminals and potential school shooters from obtaining guns by passing a law that says they can't be armed. I wonder how many laws the Columbine shooters violated (22, according to news reports)? I wonder how many laws were violated by Cho Sueng when he shot up Virginia Tech? Laws do NOT stop such people, who are planning on violating the law, anyway. You have to allow innocent and responsible citizens to defend themselves, since the cops admit they can't do the job. All they can do is clean up and catch the murderer later. Even a stun gun in the hands of someone the shooter does not suspect of having one could have helped. (CCRKBA, 10/17/07)
