Twisting the legitimate question on the wisdom of arming a large community of often emotional young people to saying "we shouldn't protect ourselves" is specious.

That comment is what is specious.

By your definition, our armed forces are comprised in large part of so-called "emotional young people." Since the world began, nations have been sending "emotional young people" to fight their wars.

The Virginia Tech students I saw interviewed in the past week were rational, articulate and thoughtful.

Why do you fear your fellow citizens?
