My experience with law enforcement is that they are glorified accountants. After you are dead or robbed, they rope off the area, dust for prints, collect samples and put them in the database. Once they are in the database unless they have a hot trail, they wait for matches. I am not sure how that relates to reviving you and putting your family back together....as far as I know that effort does not restore you to life. The chances of law enforcement preventing any of this at VT is slim and none. Developing a free fire zone for murderers seldom works properly.
If you want political power, you only have to ask, what are you willing to give up for it? If you are willing to put your life on the line, you can have your own private election for any office by replacing the incumbent office holder. The world is dangerous because alot of people are willing to do just that.
Not in Texas...sounds like VA needs to look at our conceal and carry requirements.
I can’t say that I’m following your train of thought there.
Virginia is a “shall issue” state. If you obtain a CCW why shouldn’t you be allowed to carry to carry on campus as well as off?
Barricading a door is not actively trying to take the shooter out.
The passengers on flight 93 actively prevented the hijackers from taking over the plane, with full knowledge that they would die.
“He’s not off base. He’s refering to the U.S. Congress. His organzation is based in California.”
The US Congress had nothing to do with VT not allowing students to carry concealed weapons.
It was a Va. thing.
I hope that’s the way I’d deal with it. But nobody really knows how they’ll react until they’re faced with the situation.
Repeal all gun laws and respect the sovereignty of the citizen over the illusion that a criminal will obey laws you write.
Sorry, my second paragraph refers to chaos you can cause if you are willing to lose your life in doing it. Lee Harvey Oswald had his own private election for president, his one vote for Lyndon Johnson made it happen.
As if being Republican meant anything. I think it used to, way back when, but not anymore.
Is it any wonder why so many of us Republican voters are frustrated?
BTW: Ron Paul for POTUS
I understand that the Va. legislature voted down a bill to allow permitted students and teachers to carry on campus, and that Virginia Tech lent its weight to keep it a "gun free zone".
I believe that the posters point was that the U.S. Congress had effectively underwritten such laws by outlawing handguns within 1000' of a school. Admittedly, "school" in the Congressional bill is defined as elementary, secondary and high schools....not Universities. However, the point is valid....Congressional action encouraged the mistaken belief that "a gun free zone will be a crime free zone", when just the opposite is true.
Well with that being the case, Congress should repeal that law and allow conceal to carry inside of all schools.
