Sorry, the Binghamton victims died because of New York State's unconstitutional victim disarmament, aka gun control, laws. The center had no security. People rely on the "police" that are merely paper pushers. One concealed carry permit in that crowd and we would have a vastly different story. It works. Sprinkle a few "sheepdogs" in among the sheep and everyone is protected. Sorry, but it's a fact of life. You have to protect yourself and your loved ones. Ignoring the security problem doesn't make it go away. Even if the police were perfect; they can't be there when the problems occur. Only a well armed citizenry can be the "police". Take any of these mass murders and do a mental experiment. If we have, even under these draconian laws, 130 million guns in a population of 300 million, lets ASSUME that 10% of the populace chooses to arm themselves. That means that in the 14 dead, there would be one armed defender. And, in the 30 or so people in the center, there might be three armed defenders. I'm happy to give my fellow Americans -- citizen or not -- their right to defend their own lives. Just as I would want the same right. Glenn has a long way to go before he's a "libertarian". First, he has to put the blame squarely on the gooferment for setting up the conditions for this disaster, and so many others! imho!
