Yeah so now instead of having a massacre every 10-15 years, we can have a hundred shootouts in public every year. More guns = more potential shots fired = more potential people killed. Guns are for the weak. Hey sometimes you are killed by a maniac shit happens. ---

Not a good idea if you think about it. Even if the teacher didn’t want to use the weapon, someone fighting them might. ---

It actually reads that if your state has a militia and you are a member, you cannot be denied the right to have a gun. Your governor, however, may decide that every militiaman (national guard, in this instance) must deposit his/her gun in an armory when not on duty—you are not guaranteed being able to take it home with you at night. The governor also may decide that normal everyday citizens also may own guns, and whether they are to be registered, and how they are obtained, etc, but this “right” is not guaranteed. Most gun people do not understand this, and keep demanding the Constitution gives them the right to own guns. Now, regarding this specific instance…I agree with what most of Darkstar said and am SO sick of this whole “we need someone to blame” thing! It’s ridiculous. Do you really think any reporter/principal/school dean etc etc would have thought to send out a mass email to everyone associated with the school? Even if an email would have been sent, how many of the kids would have checked it before 9:30? I heard on the radio this morning that there is a University (didn’t catch the name) that is going to install some kind of system that will put 90 of their buildings on lock down with the push of a button! ARE YOU EFFIN KIDDING ME!!! Tuition and possibly taxes are going to go up to pay for this and I would put money that it will NEVER need to be used!!! ---

whats so outlandish about saying its mostly gang members and drug dealers killing themselves and not going on random shooting sprees? watch the news how often do you see random shooting that turn out to be random shootings… most of the shootings crimes outside of robberies… are targeting specific people or the victim knew the shooter. the media blows up on everything when its a simple as some nut job went ape shit for no rhyme or reason. as for ideas on people buying guns would increase after something like this is simple psychology… its for the same reason people rush the grocery story when they mention snow… those people think “i better get food incase i’m stuck in my house” or with guns its “i better get a gun incase someone tries something like this around me” ---
