re: #35 iceweasel

The wingnuts say the ‘solution’ to VA Tech is to allow guns on campus. John Derbyshire wrote a particularly vomitous screed about how the slaughter at VA Tech shows all those kids are ‘wimps’— presumably because they didn’t ‘take out’ the shooter with their bare hands before he gunned them down. (Only cowards get killed, heroes in Wingnuttia deflect all onslaughts with their bare chest, kinda like the Spartans in 300).

Confederate Wankee likewise advocated more guns in public places as a ‘soultion’. IIRC he claimed that a mall shooter a couple of years ago would have been ‘taken out’— if only more people in that crowded mall had guns on them, pulled them out and started shooting.

Oh, and what would they propose with Amy Bishop? That they held that meeting with her at gun point? Or that they would all put their guns on top of the table like in a Spaghetti Western?
