Our good friend Janet Levy of Jihad Watch had this outstanding article in the American Thinker entitled, “The Fight to Bar Arms.” It is a must read for anybody who believes that the Va Tech shooting is evidence that we need “stricter gun control laws.” In fact, this tragic incident demonstrates just the opposite.
