In that MSNBC story, a Mr. John Woods is quoted as saying, "I can't think of any way that the situation yesterday would have been improved by additional guns" Mr. Woods is apparently a graduate student at UT-Austin who attended Virginia Tech in 2007, when a student gunman killed 32 people, including some of Woods' friends.
Apparently Mr Woods never took a class in logic.
The fact that the police, DHS, and military personnel who responded to the UT shooting ALL had MULTIPLE guns on them, which they brought onto campus apparently is missed by Mr Woods. Apparently the fact that with these HUNDREDS of guns being brought onto campus, NOBODY was hurt, threatened, or made less safe is missed on Mr. Woods.
Apparently the fact that in 1966, when Charles Whitman killed 16 and injured 32 people on this VERY SAME CAMPUS, the only way the police were able to get into the Texas Tower was because STUDENTS ran to their dorms and retrieved their legally-owned hunting rifles and provided a field of suppressive fire against Whitman, is lost on Mr. Wood.
Apparently, history, logic, and rational thinking are no longer skills that are required to enter into the Graduate Studies program at UT...
