(Blacksburg, VA) -- The pro gun lobby drew first blood as they issued a press release before noon local time. as reported on MSNBC, to the effect that the tragedy, taking one life and injuring 28 at that time "could have been avoided" had the students been armed as is permitted under the 2d Amendment of the US Constitution. In what was the first reported political misuse of the tragedy, as it was still going on, observers lost their breakfasts. Unlikely to be the last such abuse. So It Goes.
