Another tragedy… Another debate on the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. It is inevitable that every time we experience traumatic events, such as the Virginia Tech massacre, that we begin to ignore the natural urges of sick human beings to kill, and jump to rash conclusions about guns in the hands of law abiding people.

Is it time to ban guns? This is a question which came up within hours of the shooting. We should accept the pain, suffering, and anger that Americans feel right now. We’re a good people. During a crisis which effects the heart of the entire nation such as this, as in the aftermath of 9/11, Americans unite behind each other in supporting those who need it. But then comes the politics.

It’s ironic, as we’ve heard many of our liberal friends often blame Republicans for using the events of 9/11 to advance a political agenda in the War On Terror, so too do we see the same example of political opportunism coming from their side, as they are already using the Virginia Tech campus shootings to advance a belief over guns that they held before 4/16.

In the spirit of this debate, I have compiled a list of my top 5 reasons for why Americans should want to protect their right to bear arms, and why we should feel proud of that right.
