On target, as usual.....

LET'S MAKE AMERICA A 'SAD-FREE ZONE'!
April 18, 2007
From the attacks of 9/11 to Monday's school shooting, after every mass murder there is an overwhelming urge to "do something" to prevent a similar attack.
But since Adam ate the apple and let evil into the world, deranged individuals have existed.
Most of the time they can't be locked up until it's too late. It's not against the law to be crazy - in some jurisdictions it actually makes you more viable as a candidate for public office.
It's certainly not against the law to be an unsociable loner. If it were, Ralph Nader would be behind bars right now, where he belongs. Mass murder is often the first serious crime unbalanced individuals are caught committing - as appears to be in the case of the Virginia Tech shooter.
The best we can do is enact policies that will reduce the death toll when these acts of carnage occur, as they will in a free and open society of 300 million people, most of whom have cable TV.
Only one policy has ever been shown to deter mass murder: concealed-carry laws. In a comprehensive study of all public, multiple-shooting incidents in America between 1977 and 1999, the inestimable economists John Lott and Bill Landes found that concealed-carry laws were the only laws that had any beneficial effect.
And the effect was not insignificant. States that allowed citizens to carry concealed handguns reduced multiple-shooting attacks by 60 percent and reduced the death and injury from these attacks by nearly 80 percent.
Apparently, even crazy people prefer targets that can't shoot back. The reason schools are consistently popular targets for mass murderers is precisely because of all the idiotic "Gun-Free School Zone" laws.
From the people who brought you "zero tolerance," I present the Gun-Free Zone! Yippee! Problem solved! Bam! Bam! Everybody down! Hey, how did that deranged loner get a gun into this Gun-Free Zone?
It isn't the angst of adolescence. Plenty of school shootings have been committed by adults with absolutely no reason to be at the school, such as Laurie Dann, who shot up the Hubbard Woods Elementary School in Winnetka, Ill., in 1988; Patrick Purdy, who opened fire on children at Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, Calif., in 1989; and Charles Carl Roberts, who murdered five schoolgirls at an Amish school in Lancaster County, Pa., last year.
Oh by the way, the other major "Gun-Free Zone" in America is the post office.
But instantly, on the day of the shooting at Virginia Tech, the media were already promoting gun control and pre-emptively denouncing right-wingers who point out that gun control enables murderers rather than stopping them.
Liberals get to lobby for gun control, but we're disallowed from arguing back. That's how good their arguments are. They're that good.
Needless to say, Virginia Tech is a Gun-Free School Zone - at least until last Monday. The gunman must not have known. Imagine his embarrassment! Perhaps there should be signs.
Virginia Tech even prohibits students with concealed-carry permits from carrying their guns on campus. Last year, the school disciplined a student for carrying a gun on campus, despite his lawful concealed-carry permit. If only someone like that had been in Norris Hall on Monday, this massacre could have been ended a lot sooner.
But last January, the Virginia General Assembly shot down a bill that would have prevented universities like Virginia Tech from giving sanctuary to mass murderers on college campuses in Virginia by disarming students with concealed-carry permits valid in the rest of the state.
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker praised the legislature for allowing the school to disarm lawful gun owners on the faculty and student body, thereby surrendering every college campus in the state to deranged mass murderers, saying: "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
Others disagreed. Writing last year about another dangerous killer who had been loose on the Virginia Tech campus, graduate student Jonathan McGlumphy wrote: "Is it not obvious that all students, faculty and staff would have been safer if (concealed handgun permit) holders were not banned from carrying their weapons on campus?"
If it wasn't obvious then, it is now.

Holy Cow! I dislike Coulter intensely, but I actually AGREE with her on this one! She is dead on!

Ann is a well educated, rich, successful white woman.
"What can she know?"
Seems alot more then most of us.[:D]0 -

Anyone who is looking to Ann Coulter for wisdom is misguided. She's a rich white woman. What can she possibly know?
Obviously a lot brighter than you can ever hope to be. She has nailed it perfectly![:D]

The only question I have is WHERE IS THE ANGER?
After 9/11, we had airline pilots saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, that we will outnumber any scumbag that tries to hijack this plane. If we dog pile him all at once, he'll get a few, but not all.
One man - ONE MAN took down dozens, and no one tried to do anything. I read one article where a survivor, a college aged male, said that he saw his 75 year old professor try to barricade the door while he jumped out a window.
WHAT KIND OF MAN LETS A 75 YEAR OLD MAN BARRICADE A DOOR BY HIMSELF WHILE HE FLEES?! That boy should live the rest of his life in shame for having done nothing to prevent a 75 year old man's death.
If four men had tag teamed this gun-toting psycho, it would have been over. Yes, he would have gotten a few, but that 32? No.
Die fighting, people. That's all I have to say.
Maybe 32 people did fight back and 32 people died doing so. We may never know.
i agree...
HOWEVER, it may have been this SOB had only 2 pistols?? i guarantee you that if say...32 people, did rush this (insert racial explitive) that there is no way in hell he would of got all 32.....unless of course they walked at him vs. rushing him.
i know i know its hard to say what happened that day, and everyone reacts different in moments of stress.
but i always think of the fine, brave americans that "re-took" United 93 and crashed it (maybe themselves..or maybe the terroists doing it, again, we may never know) into the PA field...saving hundreds...maybe thousands of lives...even though it costs theirs [V][:I]0 -
Ann is right on this one.
I know a guy who claims to have met her and says she is really ugly in person. He is kind windy so I don't know if I believe him. He also claims Ann's sister is a xxx star named Spring Thomas.0 -
sig, I may not be all that bright, however, I do try to avoid personally insulting people who haven't insulted me. But, I suppose I can see how some may be uncomfortable with their barely suppressed attraction to transexuals.
The woman is just stating the obvious while cashing in on a tragic event.0 -
Look in the mirror Horney. Ann cannot help what she looks like. How childish. 0 -

There's hope for you yet then.[:D]0 -
damn guys. she's no supermodel, but she's far from being ugly. She just needs a fine young man, such as myself, to teach her the meaning of the word "respect".[^]

She's definately way too thin.......but ugly? NOT!
And she's smart, and usually on our side, just like now.
We should be thankful she's out there spreading the truth and doing it more effectively than any of us can do.
Male, female, white, black or sky blue pink, young, old, good lookin' or "ugly" shouldn't matter in protecting the Second Amendment.0 -

Toad, I don't get it....I assume you consider yourself to be "pro-gun"
Here's someone who wrote a very pro-gun article in the wake of one of the worst shootings in American history and all you can do is attack her based on her appearence.
With "friends" like you in the gun rights movement, who needs enemies....0 -

Why has this turned into arguing over what she looks like, like a bunch of junior high kids? I mean WTH?
She's a high profile, in the spot light type of person arguing for our case. She can look like Janet Reno for all I care.0 -
And yet some wonder why it is so hard to get support for the gun community from the media. Why should they even try if they're just going to get blasted even for something as unrelated as appearance.
I wonder how many "male models" we have here right now. Any of you guys on the cover of GQ or Playgirl lately?0 -

Sure I like guns. I don't dislike her for being pro gun, I dislike her whole line of hate mongering BS. What good is a person like her
doing speaking out for anything? She is so far whacked out to the extreme right that only the extreme right is listening to her anyways. Is she swaying congress with her rhetoric to sway anti gunners to side with her? The answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [V]0 -
Horney Toad, did you know that Phoenix magazine rates her at #80 on their list of the 2007 Top 100 Unsexiest Men In The World?
You are correct, she is so extreme that her preaching is to the choir.
She really should do something about that Adam's apple.0
