College student starts a movement to allow guns on college campuses

While efforts to allow students and faculty with concealed permits to carry their fire arms on campus is not new, the tragedy at Virginia Tech has inspired an organized movement for the Second Amendment rights among students.
The curious thing about this issue is; that one already has the right to defend oneself against the loss of life or great bodily harm. The schools however have decided to take away the means to exercise that right by denying yet another right, the Constitutional right to bear arms. They have done this by exercising the ignorant, dangerous and unconstitutional practice of Gun free zones.
The irony of this ignorant practice is that Virginia Tech and every single one of the schools where similar massacres have taken place in the last couple of decades were designated as “GUN FREE ZONES”.
In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre, the anti-gun lobby believes that they have renewed strength for there misguided philosophy of less guns less crime. The obvious flaw in this belief is that only law abiding people obey laws, so the result of fewer guns is that there are fewer guns in the hands of the law abiding/the good guys. The criminals on the other hand have this nasty habit of not obeying laws, something the extreme left freedom haters have a difficult time getting their puny minds around.
Twenty-five-year-old Andrew Dysart spent four years in the Marine Corps. He is now studying criminal justice at George Mason University. After April 16th, Dysart, and as a concealed gun permit holder, he started wondering how he would defend himself on his campus. His curiosity led him to start the “Students for Concealed Carry”.
"We believe that students with concealed handgun permits should be allowed to carry their handguns on campus, just like they're allowed to anywhere else in the state," says Dysart.
Many students carry concealed weapons off-campus without incident every day. Dysart does not believe they should be forced to disarm at school. He has also heard from students at other schools, including Virginia Tech, interested in starting their own movements. His group now has nearly a hundred members.
No one can know for sure if a concealed permit holder could have saved all the lives at Virginia Tech. But I can say being a concealed carry permit holder myself that most of the slaughter would have been avoided.
"…I do think those students should have had a chance. If they've been through the training, they should have had that chance on campus. That's a chance that Virginia Tech didn't give them. That's a chance that George Mason doesn't give me," says Dysart.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Efforts to allow concealed carry on campuses have been swiftly killed by a House of Delegates Committee for over two years now. Many college administrators are blind elitists, and think they know better what is good for everybody else. I find It very interesting that these superior elite academics haven’t got the horse sense that God gave a mule, they obviously think that it is better to let the students and faculty to be totally at the mercy of any criminal nut brain that decides to use students as live targets in our schools, than to allow a trained individual, legal to carry a weapon to defend themselves and other innocent would be victims.
If there were actually any Justice left in this country, the people that deny the constitutional right of people to defend themselves should suffer the same consequences that the murdering monster that comes into a so-called “Gun Free Zone” and kills helpless people. They should be charged under the RICO Statutes with conspiracy to commit murder. Let’s not forget these murdering maniacs were enabled by the very people that created the so-called “GUN FREE ZONES”…
