The problems with the *lies* brought *in* by Protesteasyguns are many:

-None of the policies that they want have anything to do with Virginia Tech any more, yet they are still dishonoring the victims by taking advantage of their deaths.

-None of the policies they want have ever/currently do/will ever reduce crime. They are just more red tape piled on.

-They are now nothing more than another part of the Brady Campaign. Many of their recent lies (or do I mean lie ins?) across the country were organized by the Brady Campaign, a group with such a poor reputation that they've had to change their name twice already since their creation in order to gain back some of the credibility that they lose so quickly.

"Lie-ins"

<B>"Here lie disarmed victims"</b>

What do you say about people who participate in things like his? They are out their flaunting the fact that they are a helpless gunman-buffet and that they want to forcibly extend their victim-mentality to everyone else through unconstitutional gun-control laws.

Fortunately, I think a lot of people are wising up and realizing that gun-control's purpose is to make people week and easier to oppress...be it by a deranged gunman or a tyrannical government.

Not only should the rest of the nation adopt "Vermont Carry" (No regulations/permits on carrying a weapon openly or concealed), but we should be ridding ourselves of dangerous laws such as the NICS(National Instant Check Systme), 4473 forms, and bans.

Sincerely,

Brandon Stone

Money speaks louder than any protests.

We need to start investigating the legislators who have been bought and paid for by a private industry that is killing people.

Put the gun control to one side, and start to insist our state attorneys and justice departments look at the dollar flow. They are ignoring the mounting deaths for a good reason, and we know what that is.

Sloppy Reporting (or is this an Editorial?)

It's clear that the writer of this article is not a gun owner.

Anyone who thinks that, "...three minutes [is] the amount of time it takes to purchase a gun in the United States.", has never purchased one, and never completed the forms, verifications, and background checks that are required.

Instead of parroting (not "quoting" organizers, but stating as facts) the lies and distortions put out by anti-gun extremists, Alison Go should check whether what she is writing is accurate.
