Once again we are a nation that must face a national tragedy. Once again we are faced with a barrage of unfounded quasi-logic. Our so-called leaders are spouting for more gun control based upon the false claims that generally accompany any crises. Some are claiming already that the defunct Assault Weapons Ban would have stopped the criminal. As if more laws would have any effect whatsoever on a criminal hell bent on destruction. Many cite the Japanese model yet, it too is a paper tiger ( see http://www.davekopel.com/2A/LawRev/Japanese_Gun_Control.htm ).
The utter chaos that happened, and continues to happen in places like Canada, Great Britain, and Australia since the implementation of draconian gun laws provides a template for disaster that we most certainly should not implement. While changes need to be made here in the United States more restrictive laws are patently not the answer.
Pandering by politicians of whatever stripe should be examined closely for logical fallacy and shear idiocy based upon emotion. The Neo Communist’s (Neo Comms for short) will without a doubt decry our freedoms; Without ever noting that more freedom, not less probably could have minimized the tragedy. They will, without a doubt fail to note how a law that would have allowed qualified persons to be armed at Va. Teck was quashed last year. They will, without any doubt deny any culpability whatsoever for preventing the victims of this latest shooting spree and the other incidents that we are all to familiar with from being able to effectively defend themselves and others. Indeed they will overtly deny that by passing the laws that turned our schools into target rich free fire zones they share guilt for every person harmed in any of these incidents.
