“On Dec. 14, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Only the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and staff members were killed, resulted in a greater loss of life caused by a single shooter.”
OK, experts: what do these two incidents have in common? Could it be that a heavily armed cowardly mental case chose to shoot up roomsful of sitting ducks?
And, pray tell, why were the victims sitting ducks? Could it be that some “experts” decided no one should have any firearms within 1000 feet of an educational establishment? Could it be that disarming law-abiding citizens leads to death when any fool knows that madmen don’t follow any laws or rules?
If the principal at Sandy Hook had had a handgun in her desk drawer that morning and the willingness to use it, things might very well have turned out differently.
