The Virginia Tech shootings occurred
shortly before this article went to press. This tragedy runs far deeper
than the obvious. The shootings are but one symptom of what is wrong
with the mindset and thought processes of all too many people.
The second tragedy that day was that there was no one shooting
back. Any potential heroes were disarmed by the school's "no guns"
policy. Ironically, just last year the Virginia General Assembly failed
to pass a bill that would have enabled the carry of guns on campus.
School officials hailed the decision by proclaiming that students and
faculty "can feel safe" knowing that there are no guns on campus.
The reality is that there are guns on campus--guns in the hands of
criminals. That is the problem with "gun-free zones": They make the
uninformed feel better when, in fact, they create victim-disarmament
zones, or what I call "criminal empowerment zones."
Just as a burglar will pick a home without a noisy dog,
someone bent on human destruction will choose a location where their
heinous crimes can be carried out unfettered by the return gunfire of
potential victims. That's why shooting rampages don't take place at
police stations or gun ranges. Israel solved the problem of school
attacks by arming teachers. Hijackings of Israel's EL AL airliners
ceased when armed marshals were placed on every flight.
The most astonishing tragedy was the lack of survival mindset of the
victims. Forensic evidence shows that many victims had wounds
consistent with attempts to shield themselves, but there were no
defensive wounds on the shooter. That tells us that the victims did not
fight back and allowed themselves to be executed. Their absence of
survival mindset is a testament to our liberal society's powerful and
successful campaign to train us not to think for ourselves, not to act
for ourselves and to rely on others for our safety and well-being.
The Virginia Tech tragedy is an illustration of liberal ideology at its
worst. In this case the consequence of not shooting back was
death.--David Kenik
