This tragic school shooting should be held up as an example that gun bans don't work, however gun grabbers like Americans for Gun Safety Banning will undoubtedly try to exploit it. They hold up any example of depravity as a reason for increasing restrictions on law abiding citizens. It is their assertion that otherwise law abiding citizens are mystically turned to a life of crime whenever they are handed a firearm, when in fact, firearms prevent millions of crimes every year.

AGS' logic is so flawed, they are expressing absolute giddiness over an apparent decision by the Bush Administration to support the 'Assault Weapons' ban. I'm not sure if the report is true, or just another piece of AGS propaganda, but the 'Assault Weapons' ban is one of the most ludicrous gun laws on the books. The controversial ban limits access to guns that look mean and scary, but are otherwise no more functional than your average hunting rifle.

It is because of irrational freedom grabbers like AGS and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership that I will remain firmly enrolled in the NRA. I'll also go on record as saying, that if a depraved gunman were running around loose in my child's school, I'd rather have a principal with quick access to a firearm, than have the police arrive just in time to mop up the carnage.
