I think you gun grabbers are missing the big picture. The number of people that have been disarmed and massacred by their own governments is exponentially higher than the number of people that have been killed by common criminals armed with guns. The real threat comes from agents of the State, not Jamal mugging you for your wallet. This should be the main focus of any anti-victim-disarmament argument.

That being said, Having a gun on Virginia Tech campus was a crime. Therefore, students couldn't defend themselves. All they could do is call 911 and wait for the cops who stayed outside and hid behind trees instead of trying to find the gunman. :thumbsup: Virginia Tech's ban on guns may draw legal fire - Roanoke.com

If the students were allowed to be own a firearm the casualities would be reduced greatly.
