Life in Our Gun-free Utopia

Lovely story out of U-Mass Dartmouth this morning.

DARTMOUTH -- Fear stalked the campus of the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth yesterday as authorities searched for a suspect in attacks on two female students, one of whom was sexually assaulted.

The assaults occurred early Friday in two adjacent dormitories, according to campus police. The first student was attacked in her room in Roberts Hall about 5 a.m., said campus police chief Mark Porter. He would not describe the attack, except to say that it was sexual in nature.

It's safe to assume the person stalking and assaulting women in their dorm rooms isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but do you think that just maybe he'd take up a new hobby if he knew that, say, 1 in 5 female students was sleeping with a .38 revolver next to her bed. Better to call 911 to come pick up a dead or wounded rapist than to have them come out to take your rape report, or worse.

Of course, your benevolent elected officials would have you think that a woman found dead in her dorm room with her panties tied around her neck is somehow morally superior to a woman standing over the body of a would-be rapist. Remember this next time someone promises more "common sense" gun control laws.
