VT shooting survivor trusts police not armed citizens

Posted on January 23, 2008

One of the wounded survivors of the VT shootings at a demonstration for a gun show bill spoke out on citizens’ rights of self protection. In response to a comment that armed students could have ended the rampage at less than 32 dead had they been allowed to carry weapons on campus he said:

“You’re afraid of crazy situations happening. I’ve lived through this, and I know that I can’t continue in my life afraid of things,” he said, saying that he put his full trust in the police to protect society.

Very curious I wonder if any of the 32 dead would say the same thing?

By the way - the demonstration was :

bout 100 supporters of the state measure lay on the Capitol lawn to symbolize victims of gun violence and about 200 opponents stood nearby, holding signs that read, “Here Lie Disarmed Victims.”
