The one year anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre was celebrated across the United States by the anti-gun crowd. Yes, they chose to celebrate, and it’s telling to see protesters using the death of 32 innocent people for political gain by planning “Lie-ins to Protest Easy Gun.”

Nobody should be surprised that the anti-gun left is capable of inconsiderate actions since in the aftermath of the murders they seemed to take joy at the chance to exploit a spree killing for their own gain.

Their joy was short lived however, since the media and politicians quickly downplayed any increase in restrictive gun laws. It was the first time a spree killing perpetrated with a gun didn’t lead to deafening calls for more gun-control by the establishment media. One year later, the anti-gun schemers are again compounding the Virginia Tech tragedy by using it to push their misguided political agenda.

For years the pro-gun community has reminded the establishment media that the anti-gun movement was built on emotion based arguments. The demonstrations that took place on college campuses on the anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre are a perfect example of the anti-gun groups using emotion, instead of logic, to make their case.

In a move reminiscent of the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association's refusal in 2007 to follow Mayor Frank Jackson's order to ignore a new state law creating uniformity of gun laws, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynn Abraham has put the City Council on notice: its new gun laws are illegal, and she won’t prosecute individuals arrested for violating them.
