Following the mass killings in Binghamton, New York, the anti-gun babblers were quick to mount the MSNBC perch to parrot the mantra about disarming the public. In the face of what had just occurred, one self-styled “expert” urged members of the public to put their trust in police officers for their protection! Good grief! Isn’t this what the fifteen unarmed victims had done? And how did their “trust” produce a different outcome than that which prevailed on the Virginia Tech campus, as police officers waited outside the building where the killings were taking place; waiting until the gunfire ended and it was then safe for them to go inside?
Some people are just too damned slow to learn. If guns are too dangerous to have in the hands of people, why should police officers carry them? And if only a half-dozen persons had been armed in this building in Binghamton this morning, I wonder how many lives might have been saved. This latter question, of course, is one that will never bother the consciences of the anti-gun crowd. I doubt that anyone will appear on MSNBC to ask it.
