Facebook | IT COULD HAPPEN TO U: In wake of the Virginia Tech Tragedy

The right to bear arms, afforded by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, was adopted long ago to insure a civil militia’s ability to defend our fine nation in the absence of a well regulated army. Today this ancient right allows students across the nation access to weapons on campus used to bring about the mass destruction of our families, communities, and friends. I cannot find one justification behind the State’s support for this mission of terror. There is no need to “bear arms” on a University campus. An educational institution, whether it be one of higher learning, or remedial education, should promote the safest environment possible. By permitting guns on campus we are inevitably promoting the possibility of horrific school violence. Do you feel safe?

Please show your concern in the wake of this tragedy.

This is from one of the groups on facebook created in response to the VT shootings. My favorite line is the one with the author’s implication that the State supported what Cho did. Does she really think anyone is arguing that he had a constitutional right to do what he did? He was more than just a criminal; he was insane. I don’t think he was concerned with University policy on gun controls.

She obviously hasn’t thought this through. I mean, why just make guns illegal on campus? Let’s ban homicide. Problem solved.
