"In the name of "safety", certain persons lobbied successfully to prevent the carrying of [defensive] firearms on Virginia Tech's campus. Yesterday's massacre was the direct result of that lobbying. Did the rules forbidding the carrying of firearms prevent Seung Hui Cho's senseless slaughter? Obviously not.

In fact, the rules encouraged his rampage because law-abiding citizens were unable to prevent Cho from completing his butchery. The blood of those 32 innocents is on the hands of those who lobbied for victim disarmament, and on the hands of the President of the university who acquiesed to their short-sighted demands."
