I wonder if this guy gets paid by the "scare quotes"
Just in February, another shooting on a college campus leaves three dead including the shooter; bullets riddle a city council meeting leaving six dead; five women shot to death in a retail shop as an apparent robbery goes bad and to top it off, we have a Presidential Candidate who says that the “second amendment” is as important then the “first amendment.”
Without the second, you cannot secure the first. In fact, the entire constitution might as well be rolled up as toilet paper if you're not willing to defend it.
After the shooting last year at Virginia Tech I posted my concerns, April 18th, 2007, and my desire to see gun controls. Again I re-post that belief: “Gun Control” is an issue that reaches farther than the City of Warren.

A lot of "people" have a "belief" in the "Loch Ness Monster" and "Black Helicopters". Luckily, nobody "takes" them seriously either.
As a Viet Nam Era Vet, who also survived being ten feet and to the right of the Ohio Guard on May 4th, 1970 at Kent State University, I do have a strong opinion on the matter of “Gun Control.”
As a person who's very life today is because your "gun control" wasn't in place, I'll raise your opinion and slap you silly with fact.
Maybe Virginia Tech, and the “horrific” murders, will open our eyes to the NEED to revisit the issue and implement a uniform NATIONAL Program.
I guess those people murdered by other implements aren't horrific enough for you to do anything. I mean, we could just make murder illegal and that would stop people right? Or are you saying murderers won't care about the top law in the land (No Murder!) but a small fine for having a pistol will prevent them from doing harm?
I know that “gun advocates”, plus so called “sportsmen”, will run and quote the Constitution on their “rights” to “bare arms” but the victims of this “mass murder” also had Constitutional rights, that of “Life, Liberty and Happiness.”
Not only will we do that, we'll also remind you it's Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. There is no guarantee you get to be happy.
My comment to Mr. Sixties -
20,000 gun laws are on the books. The top law in the land is Do Not Murder. You're saying more laws will stop this? What magical law can you pass that will stop people from murdering? Which law hold more weight with a killer than the 20,000 that are already on the books? There are 270,000,000 firearms in the US. What law will make them disappear? Sure, you can make it impossible for the law abiding to have a gun, but criminals don't follow the law. Of course, people like me will never turn in their guns (and I have quite a few), so I guess to enforce your laws we'll need to revoke the 4th amendment and allow the police to go house to house without a warrant to take them. Of course, Kent State would be a pleasant memory compared to the police state you'd need to make that happen. Each law you pass does nothing more than give the government even more power. Didn't your 10 foot experience teach you that they are the last group you want to have firearms? Or, are you under the illusion that if we just get the right people in power, everything will work? Yes, these are tragedies, but there are many, many more you ignore when you forget how many people are stabbed, poisoned, raped, etc. which didn't use guns. But, go ahead and give the government more power to oppress the people. Next time 10 feet might not be enough.
