As someone who was off campus during the VA shooting, was a victim of the NRCC shooting, and was on campus when the student hacked up the other student at the graduate center I’ve seen too much trauma in SW Va.
So, I’d like to ask everyone here to please use this case to fight the anti 2nd Amendment folks. I’m sure they’ll be screaming for more useless laws. I say that as police can’t catch every bad guy, but this proves that if they enforce the existing laws instead of politicians rushing to make laws that aren’t enforced good th8ngs happen.
In this case, another masss shooting was prevented by police arresting someone who wasn’t legally allowed to own a gun. Hopefully they’ll catch the person who sold it to him. And that person will be convicted by a jury and given a very harsh prison term. But right now It shows that by doing the grunt work officers doing their job can stop crimes. New laws wouldn’t have stopped this. But citizens speaking out, police investigating and doing their job worked.
So thank you Va Tech and Blacksburg PD.
And please spread the word that we don’t need more laws, the current ones work when police do their job!
