George Hennard got his guns legally, look at all the good that did.
If it weren't for gun control on aircraft, 9/11 could have been prevented, am I right?
Nothing useful to add as always?that is the dumbest ive ever heard,
We should ban cars because people kill in drunk driving accidents.
We should ban rope because people hang themselves with it.
We should ban fire because people commit arson.
We should ban anything that people can cause harm.
The guy that did that was and will be for as long as history stands walking breathing ...and I dont think that name lives up to him...but no never ever ever should people be banned from access to arm themselves...

you don't understand what this country was founded on, how important our cons ution is and whats happening to it right now
I know exactly what is was founded on and why the right to bear arms exists -- it's in the declaration of independence and refers to a form of government upheaval that will never be used in this country again.
The right to overthrow a corrupt government is hardly on gun-nuts list of fundamental values anyways, they never cite it as it is archaic.
wow
the only reason the increasingly tyrannical government would think twice about martial law, or TAKING PEOPLES GUNS AWAY is because they know they have some hardcore gun owners who would die before they give up their guns or cons utional rights, the government should be afraid of its own people, not the other way around
and of course, i'll stand by one of the best bumperstickers ever, in which my dad had on the inside of my toychest when i was a baby "if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"
Spurs on, going to argue this later
I'm personally happy as long as assault rifles and light machine guns are outlawed regardless of cir stance, at least these guys are 99% of the time stuck with pistols, though the Luby massacre happened with only 2 semi auto pistols.
Easy to say for you who sits in a comfy chair watching American Idol. That "artifact" would have save many lives in trouble spots in Africa and Asia and South America where opressive governments leave people defenseless. I have the right to defend my family.

How many of those murders were committed by someone with a concealed handgun license?
Until you can produce that stat, stfu.
And, just like with today's incident, if just one person present would have been carrying concealed, the death toll would have been lower.
"carrying concealed"
no guarantee. The person would have to have the balls and skills to kill the shooter, who seemed to know a of a lot about shooting.
You do realize that a large part of the CHL class is competency with your weapon, right?
As for the 'balls to do what is right', you'd be surprised what people are capable of when the alternative is death.
I'd argue that even if the students could, most would not. Of course...all it would have taken today was one skilled student with a gun and many lives might have been saved. Then again...that same student carrying the gun illegally could have saved just as many.
Anyway...I think sometimes stuff just happens and the only blame that can be placed is on a lack of foresight...but if there is any to go around here, it goes not on the gun laws, but on the campus police and brass who took a lot for granted with regards to the safety of the students.
I personally never assume the police or, anyone, is going to be around to protect me...best to take that bit of responsibility on yourself...and learn how to defend yourself.
He hates these cans!
Mookie's kicking ass in this thread...except about that increasingly tyrannical govt stuff...but the rest of his take was excellent...
At last political common ground.
Sabar...way off, naive.
Agree100%.
Murder was a booming business before the first gun was invented...
If the kid had chained the doors and lit the building on fire, should we be outlawing fire?
I wonder how many people die each year via gun shot in the UK.
Time to move to Qatar? http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...ers-per-capita
62 murders via firearm in the UK from 1998-2000 (0.00102579 per 1,000 people)... 8,259 for the US (0.0279271 per 1,000 people)... I wonder if there is some kind of correlation with something...
brits are much better mannered in general?
And then the seminal point was completely dodged...
Observe:
Their soldiers get taken hostage easier and are more willing propagandists than boutons and Nbadan...
"Their soldiers get taken hostage easier"
... because there aren't enough murderers in the UK to satisfy Whott's bloodlust.
Go yourself, Whott, you less sicko.
