WACO, Texas (CNN) -- Zero tolerance, huh? Gun-free zones, huh? Try this on for
size: Columbine gun-free zone, New York City pizza shop gun-free zone, Luby's
Cafeteria gun-free zone, Amish school in Pennsylvania gun-free zone and now
Virginia Tech gun-free zone.
Anybody see what the evil Brady Campaign and other anti-gun cults have created?
I personally have zero tolerance for evil and denial. And America had best wake
up real fast that the brain-dead celebration of unarmed helplessness will get
you killed every time, and I've about had enough of it.
Nearly a decade ago, a Springfield, Oregon, high schooler, a hunter familiar
with firearms, was able to bring an unfolding rampage to an abrupt end when he
identified a gunman attempting to reload his .22-caliber rifle, made the
tactical decision to make a move and tackled the shooter.
A few years back, an assistant principal at Pearl High School in Mississippi,
which was a gun-free zone, retrieved his legally owned Colt .45 from his car and
stopped a Columbine wannabe from continuing his massacre at another school after
he had killed two and wounded more at Pearl.
At an eighth-grade school dance in Pennsylvania, a boy fatally shot a teacher
and wounded two students before the owner of the dance hall brought the killing
to a halt with his own gun.
More recently, just a few miles up the road from Virginia Tech, two law school
students ran to fetch their legally owned firearm to stop a madman from
slaughtering anybody and everybody he pleased. These brave, average, armed
citizens neutralized him pronto.
My hero, Dr. Suzanne Gratia Hupp, was not allowed by Texas law to carry her
handgun into Luby's Cafeteria that fateful day in 1991, when due to
bureaucrat-forced unarmed helplessness she could do nothing to stop satanic
George Hennard from killing 23 people and wounding more than 20 others before he
shot himself. Hupp was unarmed for no other reason than denial-ridden "feel
good" politics.
She has since led the charge for concealed weapon upgrade in Texas, where we can
now stop evil. Yet, there are still the mindless puppets of the Brady Campaign
and other anti-gun organizations insisting on continuing the gun-free zone
insanity by which innocents are forced into unarmed helplessness. Shame on them.
Shame on America. Shame on the anti-gunners all.
No one was foolish enough to debate Ryder truck regulations or ammonia nitrate
restrictions or a "cult of agriculture fertilizer" following the unabashed evil
of Timothy McVeigh's heinous crime against America on that fateful day in
Oklahoma City. No one faulted kitchen utensils or other hardware of choice after
Jeffrey Dahmer was caught drugging, mutilating, raping, murdering and
cannibalizing his victims. Nobody wanted "steak knife control" as they autopsied
the dead nurses in Chicago, Illinois, as Richard Speck went on trial for mass
murder.
Evil is as evil does, and laws disarming guaranteed victims make evil people
very, very happy. Shame on us.
Already spineless gun control advocates are squawking like chickens with their
tiny-brained heads chopped off, making political hay over this most recent,
devastating Virginia Tech massacre, when in fact it is their own forced gun-free
zone policy that enabled the unchallenged methodical murder of 32 people.
Thirty-two people dead on a U.S. college campus pursuing their American Dream,
mowed-down over an extended period of time by a lone, non-American gunman in
possession of a firearm on campus in defiance of a zero-tolerance gun ban. Feel
better yet? Didn't think so.
Who doesn't get this? Who has the audacity to demand unarmed helplessness? Who
likes dead good guys?
I'll tell you who. People who tramp on the Second Amendment, that's who. People
who refuse to accept the self-evident truth that free people have the God-given
right to keep and bear arms, to defend themselves and their loved ones. People
who are so desperate in their drive to control others, so mindless in their
denial that they pretend access to gas causes arson, Ryder trucks and fertilizer
cause terrorism, water causes drowning, forks and spoons cause obesity, dialing
911 will somehow save your life, and that their greedy clamoring to "feel good"
is more important than admitting that armed citizens are much better equipped to
stop evil than unarmed, helpless ones.
Pray for the families of victims everywhere, America. Study the methodology of
evil. It has a profile, a system, a preferred environment where victims cannot
fight back. Embrace the facts, demand upgrade and be certain that your
children's school has a better plan than Virginia Tech or Columbine. Eliminate
the insanity of gun-free zones, which will never, ever be gun-free zones. They
will only be good guy gun-free zones, and that is a recipe for disaster written
in blood on the altar of denial. I, for one, refuse to genuflect there.
