A Very Sound Policy

Larry Hincker, associate vice president for university relations, positively dripped with ridicule for Wiles’ plea in his rebuttal, using terms like “inane,” and admonishing the student for not feeling safe with “hundreds of highly trained officers armed with high-powered rifles encircling the building and protecting him.”

“Guns don’t belong in classrooms,” Hincker concluded. “They never will. Virginia Tech has a very sound policy preventing same.”

"A Very Sound Policy," my Rights Watch column for the August issue of GUNS Magazine, is now online.

Awaiting Your Response

Do you still feel the same way about your policy now, Mr. Hincker? Will your faith in that policy provide comfort to any of the victims' families?
How about it, Larry? The first time around, you ridiculed Mr. Wiles' pleas with words like "mind-boggling...out-of-touch" and "inane."

I'm sure your dismissal of his latest letter will be equally contemptuous and witty.
