Double Standards

The group "Students for Gun-Free Schools" is holding a 'walkout' tomorrow to protest a bill that would allow concealed carry on campus. The organizer of the walk-out, VT alum John Woods , according to an interview in the Daily Brown Herald, "found it ‘personally upsetting’ that the Virginia Tech shooting is quoted as a context for the introduction of the bills.”

The hypocrisy is overwhelming as the SGFS, on the front page of their website, uses the VT tragedy and other high profile shootings to push 'reasonable, common-sense' gun regulations mixed in w/ the usual attacks on permit holders.

I wonder where Mr. Woods' outrage is over the Brady Campaign using VT victim family members to advocate bills that had nothing to do w/ VT or their call for $32 to 'fight the gun lobby' the very day it happened.

I would also like to note that the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus FaceBook page has three times as many members as the SGFS. Telling, isn't it?

I remember reading about Mr. Woods a few weeks ago. It would seem that as a graduate student at the University of Texas, he is now contaminating my fine state with his presence, saying he finds the idea of stopping a school shooter with a gun impossible...notwithstanding the fact that school shooters have actually been stopped with guns.

Let the students walk. Make some space for those who honestly want to learn, as opposed to making a political statement.
And helps thin out the classrooms, so that the teachers can devote more one-on-one time with their students.

"Students for Gun-Free Schools" Is that for real? After 32 dead at "gun-free" VT? Are they political correctness robots who cannot think on their own and just believe what they're told to believe by the anti-gun establishment? If they're so keen on setting themselves up to die, why don't they just jump off bridges and get it over with without annoying people.
