Here's the story. Excerpt:

Superintendent David Thweatt said the small community is a 30-minute drive from the sheriff's office, leaving students and teachers without protection. He said the district's lone campus sits 500 feet from heavily trafficked U.S. 287, which could make it a target.

Thank God. Can you imagine how vulnerable they would be if they weren't allowed to carry in self-defense?

You may have read this column I wrote last week, sarcastically suggesting that knives should be banned because, just like guns, they could potentially be used to commit a crime.

Well, this may not be that far-fetched after all. A friend sent me this article discussing how Denver police want to prevent protesters from carrying pipes and chains. I'm sure that'll resolve their problems just like gun bans made DC and Chicago the safest cities in America.

The logic of the anti-gun crowd is: Since guns are used to kill, then we should ban guns.

My column today asks, then why not ban knives too?

According to a Rasmussen poll, 63% of voters agree with the Supreme Court's ruling on the landmark gun case D.C. v. Heller. Only 25% don't. Half of those are burglars.

A man who shot and killed two burglars crawling out of his neighbor's home has been cleared in court. I haven't been following this case and I don't know its details, but obviously to me, if the burglars got down on their knees and put their hands up, you don't shoot them. But according to him, they were still threatening him, which, if that is the case, makes him a hero. I bet you no one's gonna burglarize any homes in that neighborhood anytime soon.

Congratulations to all those of us who love and cherish the Second Amendment! Yesterday, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Second Amendment does indeed protect individuals' right to own guns.

I would like to congratulate everyone who worked so hard on both this case and this cause, particularly the fine people at my law school, the George Mason University School of Law, who helped like no other legal academics and students ever would.

I haven't yet had the time to read Scalia's decision in is entirety, but I found this amusing piece in a news article:

Scalia noted that the handgun is Americans' preferred weapon of self-defense in part because "it can be pointed at a burglar with one hand while the other hand dials the police."

From Obama:

"It was over 200 years ago that a group of patriots gathered in this city to do something that no one in the world believed they could do," Obama said. "After years of a government that didn't listen to them, or speak for them, or represent their hopes and their dreams, a few humble colonists came to Philadelphia to declare their independence from the tyranny of the British throne."

I would like to see a quote from any of the Founding Fathers asking for a government to "represent their hopes and their dreams."

I'm fairly certain that the whole point was that they had too much government that it was precluding them from achieving their hopes and dreams.

And one more point on that. The Founding Fathers included God wherever they can, and went out of their way to highlight the importance of gun rights. Or as Barack would say, they were "bitter." 

Last week, a stabbing spree shook an Alaska town, killing four people.

Two days ago, a 12-year old Maryland boy knifed to death a man attacking his mother.

Days ago, a man went on a stabbing spree outside a shopping mall in Japan.

So what do we do about this? When similar events involve a gun, the reflexive answer of too many is "gun control!" Because to them, guns are committing the crime, not people. So why don't I hear cries for "knife control?" Come on, don't you want to truly end all crime, gun control advocates?

A humorous story from Victorville, California tells how due to the candy ban in public schools, some clever kids are making a killing by selling candy to their friends. In the end, everyone who wants candy is getting candy.

Sound familiar? It is the exact same phenomenon we saw during the Prohibition in 1920-1933. Banning something popular for the sole reason that it could be harmful when abused while not make it impossible to get, it will just make it more expensive to get, and will reward the trouble-makers who provide it. It is also useful to think about gun control in the same way. Thank you for the lesson, children!
