Protection denied

I have heard several anti-gun activists intimate that lax gun control laws are partly to blame for the shooting at Virginia Tech. As it turns out, exactly the opposite is true. An article at One News Now points out that several school shootings have been successfully interrupted by law-abiding citizens with concealed weapons. A recent legislative decision by the Virginia Legislature which stripped students from exercising their second-amendment rights on Virginia campuses denied this protection to students at Virginia Tech.
