VIRTUAL STATE OF THE UNION, PT. 1

As always, V-POTUS Bill Whittle does an excellent job of explaining the Conservative - no, the common sense - view of an issue.  In this case, the topic involves gun rights.  

One of the cutesy "arguments" that proglodyte gun-grabbing wingnuts of the Left like to employ these days to counter the reality of our Second Amendment rights is to say: "But don't children have a right to not be murdered in their school?" Or in the case of this MSNBC discussion, "Shouldn't we also have freedom from people who have guns?"

Whittle reminds us that this argument works both ways:

In October of 2007, Amanda Collins was walking to her car after a night class at the University of Nevada at Reno. Amanda had a concealed carry permit for her 9mm Glock that she carried for self-defense. Unfortunately for Amanda, UNR is, like most college campuses, a gun-free zone. So, like the law-abiding citizen that she is, she did not have her gun with her in this gun-free zone when she was attacked by James Biela. Biela raped her on the UNR campus, less than 300 yards from the Campus Police Office. He then walked away, and a few months later, this human predator went on to murder 19-year-old Brianna Dennison.  Amanda Collins went on to say, quote, "I know, having been the first victim, that Brianna Dennison would still be alive, had I been able to defend myself that night." Unquote.

Therefore, I am directing the Virtual Attorney General to aggressively challenge any gun control laws that violate Amanda Collins's right not to be raped, and Brianna Dennison's right not to be murdered.  You are not forced to abandon your First Amendment right when you enter Chicago and New York , or your Fifth Amendment right when you walk onto a college campus.  As Virtual President I will veto on the spot, without hesitation but with a great deal of pleasure, any and all attempts to destroy any of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Because their arguments are so simplistic and child-like, it's not hard to anticipate a proglodyte's response to the premise that if Amanda Collins had been able to carry her gun on campus that she could have defended herself and prevented the rape.  They'll say: The rapist caught her by surprise and had his gun to her head before she could reach for hers.  Therefore, what's the point of carrying the gun?  It didn't help her defend herself, did it?  That's true enough.  But that very same argument can be applied to the squishy, ineffective alternatives offered by the Left.  Having been caught by surprise, how would a call box or a whistle have done Amanda any good?  

This is Brianna Dennison.  Didn't she have a right to NOT be raped and murdered?
