Oh, Ashley Herzog (whose name over the past two years has become synonymous to me with soulless hell-spawned demon), you have astounded with me your ignorance yet again. Not only did you ignore the moral hypocrisy in your latest column, but you also ignored the facts. I am just amazed that a writer ' someone whose job is supposed to be synonymous with free thought ' can actually be this ignorant. Firstly, you lambaste liberals for exploiting the Virginia Tech shootings for their own gun control agenda, while you, Ms. Herzog, use the same topic to sell yourself in a newspaper. Secondly, Seung-Hui Cho (the Virginia Tech killer) actually bought his murder weapons legally. If stricter gun control was imposed, he wouldn't have gotten the guns in the first place, and the no firearms areas would actually be no firearms areas. Then we wouldn't have to carry guns ' what a novel concept from you! ' to protect ourselves. You seem to propose that anyone should be allowed to carry a weapon. Let me just say this: There is nothing scarier to me than to imagine someone like you, Ms. Herzog, possessing a gun in the same building as other human beings.'
