John Woods loves to argue that CHL holders cannot respond fast enough to stop a mass shooting.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I'll be debating John Wood, the student that lost his girlfriend in the Virginia Tech massacre, tonight on KRLD radio in Dallas. We'll be on from 7:30pm to 8:00pm.
Chas.
That argument is rebutted on pages 29-30 of the "SCCC Handbook: Texas Edition."
The recent ABC 20/20 episode that tried to prove that same point is rebutted here: http://www.thedeadarmadillo.com/2009/04 ... d-gun.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He also loves to argue that a shooting in which only 10 people are killed, instead of 20-30, is not really a victory and that we should focus on preventing tragedies, rather than on responding to them. He seems to think the two approaches (prevention and preparation) are mutually exclusive.
In general, Mr. Woods sticks pretty close to the Students for Gun Free Schools / Brady Campaign playbook.
