On That Nebraska Stain

Thomas Baker from Roger Kimball's blog:

The reason they choose "Gun Free Zones" is they want to be famous. They want to be somebody...even posthumusly. The way to acheive this goal? Kill a bunch of people and get yourself on the 24 hour news channels. Going to a "Gun Free Zone" increases the odds of a high body count as it decreases the odds of armed resistance.

If that troubled kid had walked into a police station he'd have been dead before he got that rifle out of his coat. If someone as mentally unstable as Mr. Hawkins understands this obvious fact, why don't liberals?

If businesses want to ban firearms on their property they should face the wrath of the plaintiff's bar when someone comes in and murders their defenseless patrons.

Indeed.
