Time to go wash my "Thunderwear".
Just two weeks ago, I had my GMC4104 on the campus of Virginia Tech where I went to school. We took the opportunity to stop by the memorial markers for the 32 students who were slain there. I wish I had the wisdom of Jefferson to try to make sense of it all. Jefferson had a special appreciation for colleges, (he founded the University of Virginia) and I wonder what his thoughts on this tragedy would be? Would he view the 32 markers and defend statements that the right to bear arms still applies in the same way today? Would he visualize a world with classrooms full of students each "packing heat" for their own protection?
This may be pointing out the obvious but these things really are not that complicated.
. . . . Heaven help us, you are talking about hundreds of thousands of stressed-out, hormone-raging, hung-over college students (with minimal firearms training) taking guns to class. . . . .
