My take on Virgina Tech

This post is going to sound crazy. First of all, I am praying for every family affected and the friends of those that died. The event of last week have just sparked something that I’ve been thinking about.

We talk about gun control in this country. However, citizens that follow the law and buy guns and carry guns legally usually aren’t the ones that go on a shooting rampage. The ones that go on these shooting rampages do not typically have backgrounds that prevent them from purchasing a gun, so any type of gun control laws do not work.

What if instead of gun control, more of us carried concealed weapons?

If someone was going on a shooting rampage, he would never take his gun to a group of policemen, a group of soilders, etc. Whenever someone goes on a shooting rampage, they attack innocent victims that he/she assumes will not be armed. What if people were never sure who was carrying a weapon and who was not? If more of us carried guns, would these maniacs be more or less likely to walk into a classroom, in a job site, or into someone’s residence?

Just a theory.
