Ten years after Columbine, gun control groups still try to exploit it

This is not to say, of course, that there are no lessons to be drawn from Columbine--quite the contrary. The pictures of police surrounding the school, while the killing went on unabated inside, illustrate the futility of the hope that the police will be in a position to help when needed. The fact that Columbine, like any other high school in the U.S., was (and remains) a "gun free zone" illustrates with excruciating clarity what such zones are really "free" of--guns in the hands of those who would use them to stop evil.

Remember, today, the horror visited upon the students and staff of that school. Remember it, though, not as a failure of "lax gun laws," but as an entirely predictable consequence of state-mandated defenselessness. [More]

That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. In it, I join several of my GRE colleagues in remembering Columbine, and in examining the lessons society has not learned from it.

Digg me?
