The American Spectator

p>In 2006 just enough conservatives proved gullible to Democrat propaganda to help them retake Congress, but surely after the Reid/Pelosi Congress those “lose to win” conservatives have learned the lesson that Democrats make lousy leaders and “blue dogs” aren’t conservatives. If not I guess they’ll keep undermining Ronald Reagan’s legacy while pimping his name to help liberals. br> — Michael Tomlinson /p>

Your article was well reasoned until you started to go soft for the sake of the lefties. An armed student in either case would have mitigated the carnage in both cases, immeasurably.

The gun grabbers agenda is to disarm America, period. I, like John Lott, believe that more guns equals less crime. I will never accede to the left on any demand they make for gun control. I can only get 10 round mags for my HK USP 45. If I could buy 30 rounders for it, I would.

What we don’t get in this country is, if you commit a crime you should get punished, not rehabilitated; if you commit a crime with a gun you should get 10-15 years on top of your sentence just for the gun or knife or pipe..

p>If you are a law abiding citizen there should be few if any laws abridging your second amendment rights. br> Case closed. br> — Gene Hauber br> Meshoppen, Pennsylvania /p>

The disconnection from reality which allowed Steven Kazmierczak to perpetrate his slaughter is tragic. The codified insanity, aka “gun free zones,” which allowed him to do it completely unimpeded is criminal.

p>Those who wish to lay down like lambs before lions are not satisfied to offer up themselves alone. They insist everyone else remain vulnerable to a madman’s whims as well. Their rationale rests on the idea that legally armed students and faculty would turn college campuses into “shooting galleries.” That “shooting galleries” is precisely what they’ve gotten — twice and counting, so far — absent the ability to stop the carnage is a testament to what occurs when blind adherence to ideology trumps common sense.
