Undoubtedly everyone has heard about what is being called the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history. At 4:00 p.m., Fox News is saying more than 30 are dead, and CNN says more than 22 are dead. AP story here.
Going forward, there will be a lot of discussion. Some will ask what we learned from Columbine. Others will try to renew the gun control "debate".
Twenty-two gun laws were broken in the commission of the Columbine crime. Liberals immediately called for more gun laws, which may earn them a few liberal votes, but nobody took them seriously, for obvious reasons.
If the Virginia Tech event sparks renewed gun control "debate", we will hear the same things we always hear. Liberals will demand knee-jerk gun control legislation, saying guns are an evil in society. They will ignore the fact that criminals won't give up their guns, which will leave law abiding citizens largely unprotected.
Guns are loud, and so they tend scare liberals. Also, liberals believe guns act on their own.
