*cringe* Cripes… this could get ugly. :=/

I can see loners, especially guys like me, being regarded with more negativity.

Gee, I wonder.

Unless he was walking around waving a gun and spewing out this filth, there would have been no way to predict he’d do this. There are lots of envious, pathetic, not-gettin’-any losers out there, but almost none of them will go to this extreme.

A pathetic testament to an evil loser. Yes, I agree – the only thing that might have stopped him would have been an armed person in the building.

The mass media are ignoring the shootings at the Appalachian School Of Law in Virginia in 2002, when two armed students apprehended the shooter.

Even at the time, the mass media buried the fact that two students went to their cars to get their handguns once the shooting started, and went back to the scene to disarm and apprehend the shooter. Had they been armed inside the school, they might have been able to save a life or two.

This whole event is being used as an excuse to launch “serious discussions” on whether we should all be helpless targets, as James so eloquently mentions.

Perhaps we could sell bumper stickers to both sides of the argument, to make some money off the media carrion-eating exercise. Take your choice — Disarmed Victim, or Hopeful Bunny Rabbit.

It will now be a target-rich environment for the media psychobabblers as the madman’s rants are made public.

If Paula Zahn and Nancy Grace need to look for the problem with the USA they should take a peek in the mirror!

Just three months ago, a bill was killed that would have prevented universities in Virginia from abridging students’ right to carry concealed weapons on campus with a valid permit.

Virginia Tech cheered the decision, having enacted a policy last June for ‘violence prevention’ that bans guns in the hands of employees, students and visitors.

The article says, “Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. “I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus.””

The wimps’ desire to feel safe once again has taken precedence over reality. I wonder how safe Larry Hincker’s students feel now, after having been left helpless and defenseless in the face of death.

As for me, I feel less safe when I am defenseless, but quite comfortable in the presence of armed law abiding citizens.

My experience with men who feel like Larry Hincker is that it is not the remote possibility of danger an armed law abiding citizen poses that they resent, rather it is the immediately experienced, intolerable feelings of inadequacy they experience in the presence of real men that they must banish at any cost. So here you have the cost to be paid for their victory on this front in their campaign to emasculate the American male. The real threat was never even a consideration.

Thank you, Mr. Hincker, Virginia Tech, Virginia Association of Chiefs Of Police, and Virginia Legislature. Feelings trumped the fact that you can’t station armed protectors everywhere; the responsibility for at least some of these deaths rests upon you.
