Wanting the Right

Should a campus shooting ever happen at Ball State University, Blake Graham wants the right to protect himself by firing back.

You have that right, Mr. Graham. Anyone who would deny it to you is a criminal.

Obey and they will victimize you, or disobey and we will victimize you. That's a hell of a choice to force on a person, isn't it? What kind of sick authority freak would do that to another human being?

I applaud you and your group for taking point on this at your school and bringing it into the forum of public discussion. That said, I hope you never suffer because you allowed evil, wrong-headed edicts to overrule your judgment on when possessing the means of defense is prudent. If you decide it is, I pray you're not discovered. And if you are, I hope the predominant sentiment coming from some gun owner quarters isn't that you made us all look bad.
