Virginia Tech

There are some news stories that are so big, I just don't know what to say. The shootings at Virginia Tech yesterday was one of them. What can a guy like me say that's going to add to the conversation? There's already so much noise out there that we don't need any more.

I was waiting to see the gun people jump into the noise, and they surely did. Some folks say this is a good reason for concealed-carry permits, and some folks say this proves that more gun controls are needed.

I don't want to get into this debate right now. But sitting here in this chair, I find it repulsive that even before we knew anything about the gunman or the victims, some people were already trying to score political points on the gun control issue.

Vultures.
