Don't be fooled by the "gun control" morons, like Rosie O'Donnell.   Time and time again, innocent people die because they are not armed, have no means of self defense.
The police have guns. The criminals have guns. Unconstitutional and unlawful "gun laws" deprive the LAW ABIDING PERSON of his right to SELF DEFENSE.

THE PATRIOT'S PRAYER
 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot  change 
 The courage to change the things I can
 And the WEAPONRY to make the difference!
 Amen.
 Never surrender your firearms!
 From John Perna
NOBODY ELSE HAD A GUN. IF THE VICTIMS HAD BEEN  ARMED THE SHOOTER WOULD HAVE DIED AFTER THE FIRST SHOT
 A gun ban recently enforced by Virginia Tech campus  prevented over thirty victims of  mass shooting from defending themselves  against the killer, and yet gun control advocates are already politicizing  this tragic event to pull the lever for mass gun  control.
 The shooter grew  up in China, and was here on a student visa. Should we ban  guns? No, we should close our borders.  With all of these  gun laws a foreigner still had a gun.
 Virginia School Shooting: Another Government  Black-Op?
"Eyewitness accounts describe police hiding behind trees and failing to pursue the killer, while ordering the school to be placed on lockdown so nobody could escape the carnage as the killer picked off his targets with seemingly little interruption from the police."
 "Eyewitness accounts describe police hiding behind trees and failing to pursue the killer, while ordering the school to be placed on lockdown so nobody could escape the carnage as the killer picked off his targets with seemingly little interruption from the police."
Blaming guns for school shootings is like blaming  spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.
 A short quiz:
 Schools, churches, subways, and restaurants have  often been assaulted, but
rarely military bases, police stations, or shooting clubs. The reason for this is because:
A. The targets aren't sitting or kneeling.
B. VA benefits are lost if you shoot a soldier.
C. You can't enter an army base without bumper stickers.
D. Schools don't threaten felons with detention hall.
E. People are armed at military bases, police stations, or shooting clubs.
     
Virginia   is  one of the many states with “Shall Issue ”  concealed gun laws, which means that if a citizen who has not been convicted of  a felony or domestic violence, and they are not judged mentally unstable, the  law requires they be issue d a  concealed gun permit upon request.     
The gunman in the second incident is dead, and I suspect he got tired of waiting for the cops so he did it himself.                
 The  problem is human nature, which is and always has been a constant we have to deal  with, but these “progressive” thinkers always seem to leave that out of the  equation.            
rarely military bases, police stations, or shooting clubs. The reason for this is because:

THE NEW SCHOOL PRAYER         
 This was written by a teen in Bagdad,  Arizona.
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses,tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot;
My soul please take!
Amen
 Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the  Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone  under independence. To ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and the  pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere  restrains evil interference, they deserve a place of honor with all that is  good."

Another school shooting has stunned the nation. The carnage at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with over thirty people dead and almost as many wounded, is reportedly the deadliest episode of its kind in American history. Second Amendment Sisters sends our prayers and wishes to all the students, faculty, staff, their friends and families who have been impacted by this horrific tragedy.
As a country, we are shocked; we are saddened and sickened; soon, we will be angry. These are the reactions that have followed each similar event. How could this happen? Who could do this? Why weren’t our children protected? What we will most likely do, once again, is fail to learn from this latest tragedy.
We cannot protect our children once they are out of our sight. Once we send them out into the world, whether it is to the bus stop on their way to elementary school or hundreds of miles away to a university or into the workplace, we can only hope that we have given them the means to protect themselves.
Laws do not protect us. Laws are simply the rules we decide the group must follow. We know beforehand that only a portion of us will, indeed, follow those rules, so we have police. The police do not protect us; they are simply the law-enforcers. They cannot be expected to provide protection before a crime is committed. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that that is an unreasonable expectation.
We must be able to protect ourselves, and we must teach our children to do the same. We are each our own first means of defense. We each have a right to life, and a right to protect that life, and we must have the means to do so.
Guns are not permitted on the campus of Virginia Tech. Each year over 200 guns are turned in to the security department when law-abiding students, faculty and staff arrive at the school. This is done voluntarily. The man who chose to break the law against murder when he slaughtered innocent students and professors also chose to break the law against carrying a weapon onto school property.
In early 2006 the General Assembly defeated a bill that would have allowed students and employees of colleges and universities who had concealed carry permits from the Commonwealth of Virginia to take their guns onto school property. House Bill 1572 had been prompted by a student who held such a permit.
At the time VT spokesman Larry Hincker said, “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.”
Much effort goes into making us feel safe. That feeling does not mean that we are safe. We need to change our focus towards reality. There is nothing to fear from decent honest people having a means to protect themselves. There is a lot to fear from the disarming of innocents. This horrendous event is just another example of what happens when we let perpetrators of violence know that they have nothing to fear and great opportunity to inflict pain on the entire nation.

From Carl  F. Worden:
 So  far, 22 people are dead and another 21 wounded in the attack launched by one  gunman reportedly armed   with two 9mm pistols and extra magazines at the campus of Virginia Tech on  4/16/07 .
 But  nobody in range of the gunman, other than late-arriving police, had a  gun.  To make it even more senseless and inexcusable, this is the  second recent firearms attack at Virginia Tech.
 The gunman in the second incident is dead, and I suspect he got tired of waiting for the cops so he did it himself.
I  don’t know the policy at Virginia Tech, but I’ll bet there is a no-gun policy on  campus, which means everybody there were just sitting ducks, fleeing for their  lives or hiding.  It is reported some students jumped from second  story windows and ran to safety.
 To  be certain, there will be yet another call for gun control over this incident,  which translates as follows:  The citizens who are afraid of guns  and don’t want to have them, will try to impose their will on everybody else,  making us all sitting ducks for the next gunman to  slaughter.
 In  their mindless quest for non-violence, these well-meaning folks actually  envision a nation with such stringent gun bans that nobody will have a  gun.  But that is never going to happen in the  United  States  , because there  are too many guns and there is absolutely no way to vacuum them all up by  passing laws to make them go away.  We can’t make even the  slightest dent in the amount of illegal drugs smuggled into this nation, so  there is no way we’ll ever completely eliminate the availability of guns to  people who should not have them.
 In  the world of reality and clear thinking, the only way to fight fire in the hands  of criminals, is to have equal fire to stop them  with.
 I  was recently talking to a Chicago    Police Captain on other business, and Chicago  ,  like the District of  Columbia   and  New York  City  , have virtual  bans on possessing handguns.  I asked this 25-year veteran Captain  if there was any shortage of handguns on Chicago    streets, and he laughed at the absurdity of my question.  In the  case of Chicago  ,  the law-abiding generally don’t have handguns, while the violent criminals  mostly do.
 The  United  States   District Court,  which has jurisdiction in the District of  Columbia  , recently ruled  the D.C. handgun ban unconstitutional on the basis that it clearly violates the  citizens’ right to bear arms under Article II of the Bill of Rights.   Of course, that decision is being appealed to the full court on the  laughable basis that the ruling will increase violent crime.  There  are few places in the United States that have a higher violent crime rate  involving handguns than the District of Columbia, so it is doubtful it could get  much worse.
 And  what excuse does the anti-gun crowd come up with to explain why their gun ban  doesn’t work?  They blame guns coming in from neighboring states  with more liberal gun laws.  If the entire  United  States   enacted a strict  gun ban, the same people would blame guns being smuggled in from other  nations.  Again, we can’t seem to stem the flow of illegal drugs  into this nation, but these bright thinkers will still insist a complete gun ban  would reduce gun violence.  It follows the same line of thinking of  committed Communists, who insist Communism and Socialism will work, but it just  hasn’t been done right yet.
 So  getting back to this tragedy in Virginia in which 22 students died and another  21 were injured, many of those undoubtedly in critical condition, the one thing  the anti-gun crowd will never admit is that one student with a concealed handgun  in the right place at the right time could have saved some -- or all of  them.
 But  as usual, nobody but the responding cops had guns.  The only option  the students trapped on that campus could do was run, hide, jump…or get  shot.  In a state with a liberal concealed handgun law, not one of  those students were able to fight back with the same means the killer had, and  that is what I find inexcusable.
 If  you live in a state that has a Shall  Issue   concealed gun law, and if you have obtained a gun permit, for Heaven’s sake  carry the gun!  Here in Oregon  , we  have the same Shall Issue   laws on the books, but far too many of those who obtain the permits do not carry  the gun on their person.  Women carry the guns primarily in their  purse, and the men often have the gun concealed out in the glove compartment of  their car.  In the real world, if you need a gun to defend yourself  and others, you’ll need to access it immed iately.   A gun in your car parked outside is about as useless as a broken  leg.
