I want to start off by giving my condolences to the victims, family and friends of the victims of the NIU massacre. My heart goes out to you.
Chicago’s CBS 2 covered the story and interviewed a student who thought the incident would have been a lot less bloody if students and teachers could have armed themselves. They then cut over to Chicago’s Mayor, Richard M. Daily, who said this incident just shows that we need more gun control in this country. Richard M. Daily, YOU. ARE. A. IDIOT. You can not admit when something you push for so much isn’t working.
CBS2 was taking comments from viewers on this issue. I was very happy to see that so many people in Illinois, one of only two states with no conceal carry laws, want to have the right to arm themselves in public to protect themselves, their families, and others. Many people who were against it didn’t do their research. One of the most common comments for gun control was that the people who were carrying in other stats were untrained. Most states that have conceal carry weapons (CCW) permits require permit holders to go through training including both class room and range time. This class room time includes firearms safety, legal considerations, and use of force training.
When you take away the right of law abiding citizens to carry fire arms, you take away their right to protect themselves and their families. What are your thoughts about this. Please leave them in the comments below.
