Vtech massacre brings out the vultures

Posted 17 Apr 2007 in gun control, liberals

It’s barely been over 24 hours since the horrific Virginia Tech shootings, and already gun control nuts are seizing the opportunity to use this tragedy to push their agenda. It disgusts me to see the New York Times once again discard their thin facade of objectivity when they see the chance to push liberal fascism.

Yesterday’s mass shooting at Virginia Tech — the worst in American history — is another horrifying reminder that some of the gravest dangers Americans face come from killers at home armed with guns that are frighteningly easy to obtain.
[...]
Our hearts and the hearts of all Americans go out to the victims and their families. Sympathy was not enough at the time of Columbine, and eight years later it is not enough. What is needed, urgently, is stronger controls over the lethal weapons that cause such wasteful carnage and such unbearable loss.

MSNBC’s resident brain-dead pundit Keith Olbermann also jumped on the anti-gun bandwagon, trying to blame (take a guess) President Bush as the cause of the shootings.

At least one of the weapons used by the shooter is believed, as we said, to be in nine millimeter semi-automatic pistol, which would be like this one, with a clip designed to hold more than 10 shots. Clips like those were banned under the Assault Weapons Law of 1994, but Congress and President Bush allowed that law to expire more than two years ago.

C’mon, folks. We can debate gun control next week. Show a little class and back off the partisanship for now. Just report the NEWS, eh?

In the meantime, let’s take some time to pay pay tribute to the victims and their families while law enforcement sorts out the facts and details.
