It's funny how the educational demagogues can be so voracious in their lambasting of a movement like SCCC, considering the preponderance of evidence to the contrary of their arguments regarding schools being more safe with law abiding students and faculty going unarmed. You would think Virginia Tech alone would have caused them to rethink their position. I wonder the quality of education current JMU students are receiving if the intelligence of the faculty in general resembles the individual who created that blog. As another poster mentioned, James Madison would indeed be rolling over in his grave could he see his namesake now.

I think you are quite correct in your assessment of the dynamics of the anti-gunners. If you look how bigotry works, whether its anti-gun bigotry or bigotry on racial and religious grounds, there is a firmly-held, illogical belief that is so visceral and personal that an attempt at logical dissuasion is completely ineffective. I do use the term anti-gun BIGOTRY, since it does raise eyebrows, and hits liberals where they hurt: their overweening sense of how "tolerant" they are. I've seen some liberals have an epiphany when they are attacked or seriously threatened with harm. After that, it suddenly isn't so terrible to have a gun for self-defense. Where all the logic and reasonable discussion didn't make a dent, an event that is full of powerful negative emotion can immediately turn the tide.
As my father said, who I'm sure was quoting someone else; You cannot use reason to talk someone out of a position they did not use reason to talk themselves into. Or some such, I know I butchered it.

Commented again. Apparently they think that permit holders will snap randomly and go on shooting rampages at any time :?:banghead::uhoh:

But don't you, we do. Happens all the time. Just read the papers or turn on ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN and see the carnage wraught by gun nuts. Hear about it all the time.
