The quickest and best solution: MORE GUNS!!!

Asked by Charlie Rose his thoughts on the tragedy at Virginia Tech, Tom DeLay offered a jaw-dropping solution to avoiding future campus carnage: allow students to bring concealed weapons to class with them. Yep, the answer to gun violence is… more guns! For DeLay and his fellow gun lovers, the Second Amendment guarantees not only a well-regulated militia, but a well-armed student body. It brings a whole new dimension to school supplies. Ruler? Check. Protractor? Check? Glock 9? Check. Target practice will be a freshman prerequisite. It’s Mutually Assured Destruction Goes to College. Animal House meets Death Wish. Shootout at the O.K. Dorm. Do we really want our institutions of higher learning to become ivy-covered versions of the Wild West? Haven’t DeLay and company ever watched Deadwood?
