PRATT: Gun control creates victims

[OakRidgeStars]

From The Washington Times

The nation has witnessed two very high-profile shootings in recent weeks — one at a Colorado theater and another at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.

While gun-control fanatics have jumped on these events to promote their cause, the truth is that each of these tragic incidents demonstrates the failure of gun control.

In Colorado, the Century 16 theaters in Aurora are “gun free” zones where people are prohibited from carrying weapons for self-defense.

If this sad scenario sounds familiar, it should — as almost every large-scale massacre in this country has occurred in an area where guns are outlawed: Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Fort Hood, etc.

In all of these shootings, the victims were disarmed by law or regulation — yes, even at Fort Hood. They were made mandatory victims by restrictions that never stop the bad guys from getting or using guns.

This is what passes for logic now-a- days. All these educated idiots sitting around thinking of how to make us all safe. Heres an idea,lets take the guns from the good guys and leave the bad guys keep theirs. Heres a message to all of you einstiens, Its the lack of gray matter between the ears of the crimminals,not the tool they choose to commit their crimes. Figure out a way to correct that and you'll be doing something.

The article was a good read. Not only should be allowed to defend ourselves, we should have access to defend ourselves with equal or greater force than the bad guys.
