A little more on the VT massacre
Bush addressed a crowd at VT yesterday regarding the shootings. He described the scenes of terror so vividly that a student fainted during his recounting of the circumstances.
America, your president has NO HEART. What he did is akin to describing the gory details of someone's last minutes at their funeral. You, sir, are a hideously poor excuse for a human being. I am having trouble right now considering any of these bastards as humans.
MSNBC.com profiles the victims of this horrendous, heinous act.
My take on all of this:
1. Substances that alter mood and/or personality are dangerous. More care should be taken before giving them to people, and patients taking them should be carefully monitored. Many studies have shown that these substances lead to harmful behavior - often, suicide, but sometimes violence inflicted upon others as well (as my example in the previous post).
2. People on such medications should be prohibited from receiving a gun license, and should not be allowed to own guns. If your mental state is so off-kilter that you need medication, you should not be trusted with a gun. Owning a gun is NOT a right, it is a privilege (much like driving - you need a license for both). The Second Amendment gives us a provisional - not inalienable - right to have weapons.
3. Our gun laws do NOT need to be changed to allow MORE people to carry weapons. Some right wingers are calling for an end to "Gun-Free School Zones." This is absolutely ludicrous. (I'm looking at you, John Gibson, you decrepit hack!) Students have every right to expect to be safe in a school's classrooms, whether they are 5, 25, or 65.
Evidence of the gun nuts' calling for an end to "Gun-Free School Zones" comes from the Columbus Dispatch:
"The latest school shooting at Virginia Tech demands an immediate end to the gun-free zone law," Gun Owners of America president Larry Pratt said in an e-mail. "It is irresponsibly dangerous to tell citizens that they may not have guns at schools."
That sentiment was shared by Mike Stollenwerk, 44, co-founder of OpenCarry.org, a Virginia-based gun-rights networking group.
"The only person who is responsible to defend you is you -- the police are incapable of defending each and every one of us all the time," he said.
These freaks are dangers to society!
