Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech massacre. Despite what has happened, American leaders are still divided in their opinions on firearms sale. Many continue to support the stupid notion of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms", but of course the underlying agenda is because these leaders were elected in due to their support for firearms sales. To turn tail now, and say they support the ban on sale of guns would rock their political seats, I guess. So they chose politics over human lives.

However, in a desperate bid to still appear pro-life, they distorted logic; it is precisely due to incidents such as that on Virginia Tech campus that all the more people should be given easy access to guns to protect themselves. A stupid idea that I am sure many would swallow hook, line, sinker and all. It seemed like sound logic, but guess what, as Mr Blaine Rummel from Virginians for Public Safety aptly put it, "If easy availability was a solution, Virginia Tech would not be in mourning today."

Those pro-gun leaders either lack the guts to admit they made a wrong judgement, or they are simply too stupid to see the dangers of allowing any Tom, Dick or Harry to bear arms. Then again, you cannot blame them. After all, they are just following the footsteps of Mr GW Bush; never admit you made a wrong judgement in fighting the Iraqi war even when the rest of the world can see that you had made a serious judgement error.
