Obama Partly Responsible for Murders on Campus

As an Illinois state legislator, Barack Obama voted consistently for every gun control measure brought before the legislature.

Northern Illinois campus is a gun free zone, meaning that the law abiding will have no guns. Illinois has never passed legislation permitting widespread concealed carry.

So, what happened Thursday at Northern Illinois University? A homicidal maniac with a gun entered a classroom, killed 6 and wounded 22. The dead and wounded had no chance. The strict Illinois anti-gun laws prevented them from having a chance to defend themselves.

I will no go so far as to call Barack Obama a murderer over the incident. I think the gun free zone law preexisted his term as state senator. However, he certainly did nothing to change it. And to hear him talk, he thinks it was a good idea. A triumph of audacious hope over experience.
