Yeah!

Hincker needs to explain how safe the school population feels today, vs. yesterday!

His attitude aided & abetted today’s shooter at Virginia Tech.

One gun in that dorm could have saved many lives.

Muggers, rapists, & terrorists must be smiling today.

[Dave Olson]

The state of Utah allows people who have a CWP to carry a gun onto school grounds.

Utah has never had a school shooting.

I go to school in Baltimore, and have been doing the same for 3 years now.

[forest6147]

I eat as many twinkies as possible to keep them out of the hands of fat children.

[Edgerunner]

It is better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8.

there's yur tagline...

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "

How happy is he now ??

These students could have defended themselves

[NRA1995]

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."

I' m sure all the victims at VA Tech are feeling safer today....../sarc

Larry Hincker is a liberal fool. He and his university cops could not defend the students slaughtered today, and they certainly did not keep weapons out of the hands of the killer on campus. He ought to have his face rubbed in his foolish words of last year, and the university should be sued by the parents of the victims.

OK! Glad to know you’re safe in all this chaos.

Before coming to Virginia Tech, Hincker worked for 14 years in various corporate communications positions including manager of Public Information for a division of Westinghouse in Washington and employee communications manager for a division of Rockwell International. Hincker studied architecture, spent 10 years as a corporate photographer, has a bachelor’s degree from Brooks Institute, and an MBA from Virginia Tech.

Drunken college kids with loaded weapons? I don’t think so.

[Fixit]

I suppose you could add a few extra handles at the head and foot, if you really wanted 8.

[TDA2]

I carry mine in my computer bag. Never go anywhere without it.

[TDA2]

If there are drunken college kids in engineering classes I doubt that they will be there long. We aren’t talking about parties on Friday night, we are talking about people being able to protect themselves in areas such as a school. Why be in one location where you can protect yourself and in another where you are a sitting duck?

[Idaho Whacko]

Keep repeating :”Gun free zones make us safe”.

You may as well march to the gas chamber singing “Arbeit macht frei”.

Liberals will call for more gun control if these guys turn out to be white. If they are muslim, they will be silent in order to prevent the natural response of “Enough Muslims alrady”.

[cvq3842]

it’s terribly sad.

[Phosgood]

“I know the media will publish against gun availability”

Media Hoe on MnNBC already harping that “all it takes in Virginia to get a handgun, is a driver’s licence”.

On Fox, the balanced left handgun expert is talking about the MILLIONS of unlicenced hand guns AND MAGAZINES...here we go again.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You go, girl ! ;-)

All: I'm posting from U.Va., Tech's cross-state rival. Believe me, the folks here generally do not actively enforce the rules in dorms with regards to weapons, drugs, alcohol. Any enforcement is passive (e.g., an underage student is spotted drinking alcohol on the steps of a dorm building).

I would not be surprised if the situation at Tech is similar.
