As your looking back on the things the terrible things that happened today, take a second and block out some of the crap that is already appearing on the net as well as TV. take a deep breath and repeat after me...
- Gun laws do not cause people to go on shooting sprees
- video games do not cause people to go on shooting sprees
- this is not a black ops mission to secure gun control
- this is not because of large ammo clips, if you want to shoot someone you will reload.
- No the death of 31 students is not more important that 129 civilians that died in Iraq today, its not any less important either, don't judge the worth of a life.
- It has nothing to do with SNL
- and it has nothing to do with A Virginia Tech official in 2006 praised the defeat of a proposal to allow students with state-issued concealed handgun permits to carry their handguns on college campuses in Virginia
Stumble It!
