A Recent Leter to the Arizona Star

Those AZ legislators proposing a bill to allow students and teachers to arm themselves are at least a half a bubble off plumb. How many more would have been dead at Northern Illinois University than was already the case if some of the students (and teachers) had started shooting? Think of those who could easily have been shot from “friendly” fire. I can’t imagine what kind of a horrendous bloodbath would ensue if this kind of situation were to occur in future such incidents.

Make it easier for youngsters to carry guns? It’s too easy already. We would not have had Columbine or Virginia Tech or NIU had it been more difficult for these young men to have access to guns.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) honchos must love these AZ legislators. Wonder how much they would be willing to “invest” to see that this bill is passed, with a view to assisting other state legislators throughout the country to introduce similar bills?
