Quote
WASHINGTON — A gunman was on the loose Thursday at Virginia Tech after he shot a police officer and possibly a second person, said the university, scene of a 2007 massacre in which 32 people died.
"Suspect remains at large. A police officer has been shot. A potential second victim is reported at the Cage lot. Stay indoors. Secure in place," it told students and staff on its website (www.vt.edu).
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

Lock your doors, curl up in a ball, and hope no one comes along and puts a bullet in your head.

my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.   :'(

However, sorry to say this, but my first knee jerk reaction especially in light of the recent Fast and Furious Congressional hearings is....hmmn...okay, how are the Feds going to leverage this now for more gun control?

They tried it last time with a body count of 33. It went nowhere. This time there were only 2.

never underestimate the power of the media to propagada-ize something and use it as leverage for something else....

like with the two or three current Republican front runners, now you know the gun issue is going to come up in any debate.

yeah, you are most likely correct.  it will go nowhere.

exactly what I said when I heard it on the morning news today
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them
