Yes, Virginia, guns kill innocents (Barf Alert)
NY Daily News ^ | April 17th 2007 | MICHAEL DALY

Still love those guns, Virginia?

Ready to admit that it's madness for any psycho to be able to saunter into a gun shop and acquire firepower capable of killing 32 innocents?

Feel different now that the blood is the blood of so many of your most promising young people?

You've been shrugging for decades as illegal guns from your state plague our city, killing and maiming and terrorizing New Yorkers by the thousands, at one point comprising 47% of the guns our cops recovered.

You even yukked it up with a "Bloomberg Gun GiveAway" raffle at a gun shop that sold at least 22 guns used in crimes in New York.

You went into a tizzy when Mayor Bloomberg sued some of your gun shops after undercover agents made fraudulent "straw purchases."

Your idea of gun control has been to pass a law making it illegal for undercover agents like those Bloomberg sent South to make such buys.

You seemed to think it was no big deal when an aide to your junior U.S. senator got caught carrying an automatic pistol into the Capitol, you having voted Sen. James Webb into office as an avowed opponent of gun control.

You had a big debate this year about whether Virginia Tech was wrong to discipline a student who was caught carrying a licensed pistol to class.

Irony, thy name is liberal. Had that student been in the building, he could have stopped the perp.

Today's poll on CNN.com, that bastion of progressivism, reads:

Do you believe gun-control laws are an effective way to curb violence?

56-46% say no.

Hey Mr. Daly, do you think you could wait until we bury the dead before you start piling on?

Libs are judgmental about guns. They withhold judgment on evil.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Yes, you’d think in a college like that there’d have been at least ONE good lib who could have stopped that nasty GUN from killing all those people by having DIALOGUE with it!

So did the US Department of Justice.

Here comes the MSM hysterical BS. These people are just drones pushing the Leftie agenda.

Al, Jesse, and Oprah are out a whole lot of “white guilt” dollars because of this massacre. The locusts have moved on to Virginia. I will not allow myself to be throttled by their incessant cheap theatrics. No TV News for the durations...

The VA Tech campus is a sea of Maroon and Orange. They are showing their pride. Compare this to the Rutgers’ boo-hoo campaign.

Dear Michael,

Yes, guns kill innocents. But a lot of things kill innocents. Automobiles kill about 40,000 innocent Americans every year, and yet we don’t ban automobiles. That’s because automobiles are useful things. We need them.

We need guns too. We need them to protect ourselves from those who would rob us in our stores, or in our homes or on the street. We need them to stop the occasional mass murderer. And most of all, Michael we need them to keep greasy little control freaks like you from getting out of control.

Yours truly,

Virginia

I actually find it more telling that not a single student was willing or able to defend himself and his classmates. Instead, they all relegated themselves to hiding under a desk and waiting for the fatal bullet to come. So much for the liberal theory that we’re all safer if we’re helpless.
