The gun grabbers are going to be out in force on tonight’s news. Batten down the hatches.

Looks like the SWAT team couldn’t save anyone.
They raced to the scene with their bullet-proof vests and automatics weapons and proceeded to hide behind cars in the parking lot while the unarmed students were left to fend for themselves - for more than 2 hours - against a heavily armed gunman.
Whatever happened to moving towards the sound of the guns?
Looks like this SWAT team ran from the sound.
This guy was allowed to shoot unarmed people for over 2 hours.

I wonder if they'll reverse HB 1572 and let students carry now?Not a chance. The gun grabbers will instead try to push for more gun control and a "really gun free zone," ensuring that this kind of thing will happen again. Remember, the left thrives on death and operates based on feelings. Don't expect rational reactions from them...

My daughter told me a couple of days ago that they were allowed to have guns in their cars now but that they had to leave them there. I asked her what the hell were they good for if they're in the car? I guess if something happened in the parking lot she'd be prepared.
This is in La. She drives back and forth to school with a .45 tucked down next to her.

Yes, it is. We should e-mail the editor and ask if his “courageous” act may have discouraged law-abiding Hokies from carrying their weapon around campus today and prevented one of them from stopping the carnage. Better yet, ask the editor if the gunman is in his CCW database.

If the shooter is a Christian, expect to see approximately 5,000 articles on “how radical Christianity is threatening to destroy America.”
If the shooter is a Muslim, expect to see approximately 5,000 articles on “why we shouldn’t blame a religion for the actions of one lone nut.”

Is that South Asian, as in Pakistan?

Batten down the hatches.I agree. I was posting on a thread about our 2nd amenment and how other countries are working to get rid of our RTKABA. Then I saw this story.

College students age 18 to 22 running around campus armed with handguns? There would be far more killed and injured than what happened at VA Tech. Based on my own college experience, I would hate to think what would happen. Fistfights would become gunfights. Insane.

They’re not saying yet but I wouldn’t rule it out. Virginia Tech has a very large Pakistani foreign exchange program and most of them study some sort of engineering degree.

I bet they looked awfully pretty in their swat outfits though.
Dear God, 2 hours.
