Virginia Tech Shooting Discussed in Audio Interview with John Longenecker From GoodForTheCountry.com

John Longenecker, president of the non-profit educational organization Good For the Country, talks about the recent shooting rampage at Virginia Tech and the current gun laws that have tied the hands of honest citizens from preventing such a massacre.

Longenecker points to gun laws that ban weapons within 1,000 feet of a school as a major culprit in the extensive death toll that came from the shootings. Stating that the first line of defense in any crime is the citizen, Longenecker contends that it is within every law-abiding citizen’s rights to protect themselves from an attack, and if that attack is life threatening then that citizen should have every right to counter with deadly force.

With the manner in which gun laws are written, the citizen is no longer the first line of defense against an attack such as the one on the Virginia Tech campus. Rather, according to Longenecker, citizens are forced to become victims while waiting for law enforcement officials to arrive on the scene.

It is Longenecker’s belief that the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history could very easily have been scaled back had honest citizens been afforded the right to carry a weapon and act as a line of defense. Perhaps the shooter would have been stopped before he fled the West Ambler Johnston dorm where he killed two. Instead he carried on the massacre two hours later at the Norris Hall building where he killed another 30 before killing himself with a gun he carried on the campus of a school.
