The tragedy at Virginia Tech (VT) surprisingly is being respectfully covered by the drive by media. However, this hasn't prevented those in elected positions from using this massacre to argue for further restrictions of the freedoms that we have been granted.

For example, Mayor Daley of Chicago is advocating that all who purchase a gun legally should have their name posted on a website. His actions want to ensure that everyone knows who legally owns a gun so that another VT incident can be prevented. This website would obviously not address all the illegal guns and gun owners.

However, what he fails to realize is that beside the honest citizens reading this Internet based information will be the dishonest citizens. From petty criminals to hard core felons, the average good and decent citizens will be subject to increased burglaries and violent crime. The decline in U.S. crime will quickly be reversed.

We must remember that guns do not kill people, but people kill people and people are killing less people according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice. Deaths from homicides have steadily declined between the years of 1993 at 18,253 to 13,252 1997. This is a drop of 27% in gun deaths statistics. Non-fatal shooting incidents declined at even a fast rate of 39% during the same time frame.

If we are inclined to take a reactionary position and agree with Mayor Daley and others who are requesting even tighter gun control, using their logic, we should inform everyone about those who exercise their legal rights to drink alcohol. Since alcohol related deaths or fatalities in 2005 amounted to 16,885 (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), then anyone who legally takes a drink should have his or her name immediately posted on the Internet. This should also extend to those who buy packaged liquors and drink at home. For we must, after all, keep the Republic safe.

Now how about those who smoke? Again, many claim that smoking causes cancer including second hand or passive smoke. These people should also be listed. Let’s continue down this path of logic and look to those who are HIV positive. Their names should also be posted because they sexual behaviors can potentially kill.

When reactionary behavior that is based upon faulty logic drives the decision making process, then we as citizens have much to truly fear because with the acceptance of this logic we take another step closer to the death of this great Republic.
