If you are a Fred Thompson supporter, there are two groups you need to check out.  Especially if you live in Georgia!

Sam and Alex alluded to the typical leftiist response to tragedies like Columbine and Virginia Tech for tighter gun control. The rationale of the left is if you get rid of the guns then tragedies like this can be avoided. Interestingly Virginia Tech was already a gun free zone. But this tragedy still happened. It seems the shooter did not abide by the sign “No guns allowed” when he entered the Virginia Tech campus.

This would never have happened at my alma mater Hampden-Sydney College. At HSC every student is allowed to have a gun on campus. Each student wishing to bring their gun to campus is required to store it in a school provided gun locker in a gun room that is centrally located on campus. Every gun owner has 24 hour access to their gun. As a student I knew I had to be responsible for the 2 guns I kept on campus. A Browning Citori Grade V 12-gauge shotgun and a Ruger M77 7MM rifle. With privilege comes responsibility and I and my gun owning classmates understood this and did not abuse it. I have no doubt the shooter would have had little or no success trying this at my school because 50% of the students were armed.

Liberals and Rinos like Giuliani call for tighter gun control. The only thing gun control laws accomplish are to remove guns from the hands of law abiding citizens. Criminals will keep their guns and sleep better knowing their victims are not armed. There are countless examples where tragedy was adverted or limited because of an armed citizenry.
