if the government would do things to keep weapons out of idiots hands
we'd be okay.

think about it...for example lock up drug addicts and let the dope
dealers get off free.Just an example but it makes sense to me

maybe we should boycot the sponser of the news that tell the names

but soon it won't matter anyway

patriot act makes it illegal to pass on information about current events

The whole thing makes me sick.

Massage-there is no way any law like that will be passed. adj4u has
already pointed out the patriot act-however, the desperation of the
infamous always get revealed.

The whole thing makes me sick.

it seams to me that the world is moving alot faster now than some people
can handle

"THEY DO IT CAUSE WE WILL NOT LET THEM BE FORGOTTEN

just a thought"

Quick, how many female serial killers can you name? There are more than
you'd guess, but nearly all of them use(d) poison instead of bullets,
and many of them were seeking financial gain through the murders they
committed.

Contrast this with the folks such as the Columbine killers, and you
begin to get a handle on the differences as well as the similarities.

You're welcome.

Here's more food for thought: why are non-lethal forms of self-defense
like stun guns and tasers illegal in places where assault rifles are
legal? I mean really, how could one 'go postal' with a taser?

And how much would our readers be willing to bet that if someone
invented some absolutely non-lethal form of defense that could be used
at the same distances that projectile weapons could be (I'm thinking
something like a neural disruptor or somesuch), that it too would be
outlawed while guns would still be legal?

My niece and nephew went to school there...but it's been a while since
they did, thank God.

Heh. You completely misunderstand the fuction of the right to firearms.
It isn't about "self defence"- it's about "national defence"- so that
the public could fight back in the case of a military coup.

There's a phrase that's stayed with me "every man is the hero of his
own story". And it's true. Whatever your actions, you always believe
what you're doing is somehow "best". Whatever twisted definition of
"best" you're using is questionable, for sure, but you believe it.

There's a lot of ways and reasons to kill. And now matter who you are,
under the right situation, you can be driven to it.


Of course- we should act with decision and unity to crush those who
would destroy us. That should be the point where we are "driven" to
kill- in defence of ourselves and others.

Oh, and I didn't know the names of the Columbine kids until now.

Thanks guys for your thoughts I just wish we all could just get a lone
and try to help out those who especial crying out for help. But like
stated one can never tell what goes on in a person mind just be careful
when think someone is about to lose control.

"When will we learn that being defenseless is a bad defense," asked
Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America?

"All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last ten years
were stopped because a law-abiding citizen -- a potential victim -- had
a gun," Pratt said.

"The latest school shooting demands an immediate end to the gun-free
zone law which leaves the nation's schools at the mercy of madmen. It is
irresponsibly dangerous to tell citizens that they may not have guns at
schools. The Virginia Tech shooting shows that killers have no concern
about a gun ban when murder is in their hearts.

"Not far from Virginia Tech, a killer was stopped at the Appalachian
School of Law when two students were able to go off campus to their
vehicles and get their guns which they used to subdue the killer. Sadly,
not even that awkward defense was available at Virginia Tech.

"Isn't it interesting that Utah and Oregon are the only two states that
allows faculty to carry guns on campus. And isn't it interesting that
you haven't read about any school or university shootings in Utah or
Oregon? Why not? Because criminals don't like having their victims shoot
back at them," Pratt said. "That's why the American people want an end
to this ineffective gun ban."

Pollsters have found that 85% of Americans would find it appropriate for
a principal or teacher to use "a gun at school to defend the lives of
students" to stop a school massacre (Research 2000 poll).

The words of Virginia Tech spokesman, Larry Hincker, should be haunting
him in the wake of the massacre at his school. Last year, a bill was
killed in the Virginia legislature to enable those with concealed
weapons permits to carry their guns at schools. Hincker said that "I'm
sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's
actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors
feel safe on our campus."

"Gun Owners of America has called on Congress to repeal its deadly law
requiring gun free school zones," said Pratt. "Likewise, the call has
been made to state legislatures to enact legislation enabling people
with concealed carry permits to be able to have their weapons with them
in schools."

any law banning the carrying a weapon

is procrime if someone is going to commit a crime

they don't care if having a gun is a crime

they are already planning on breaking the law

so next time you hear an antigun rally

remember if they are not planning on commiting a crime
then why would they carew if the people are prepared to defend
themselves

(you know kinda like the logic why should you care if they search ya or
do a drug test if yer not doing anything wrong therory)

just a thought

I dunno, I'd rather not be subject to random searches. For the sole
purpose of the basic humiliation of the act. Searching infringes upon
one's basic privacy. I'd mind for that reason alone.


However, knowing that the guy next to me is packing heat. And so am I.
And so are eight other people on the subway. Makes me feel quite
comfortable. Yes, there should be laws to keep guns away from criminals
and lunatics. But not laws to keep them away from decent folk.

A very true quote deserving of its own post "if guns are outlawed, then
only outlaws will have guns".

so true so true

And if only outlaws have guns then we are all in trouble:( Special if
there are trigger happy outlaws!!!!!

i just think the entire world seams to be moving fast and some cant
handle it
