obviously the health of the people shot is the biggest concern at the moment.
the next biggest concern is for colleges to allow law abiding CWL carriers to carry their concealed weapons on campus. many lives would have been saved by now, and public shootings would be much less prevalent.
absence of protection allows killers to succeed.

I hear this all the time, but would it really? In this example, it was an extremely quick occurance, I'm not so sure anyone could have done something quick enough to stop it.
Also, giving a bunch of college kids guns isn't the best idea in my eyes. The more people that have a gun, the more spur of the moment stuff goes down. Someone gets drunk and angry (a common situation at college campuses, as you know) and next thing you know someones been shot in the face.
I just don't think allowing students to have guns on campus is the miracle cure that so many think it is.

one thing this does show is how everyone can put shit behind them and come together. I have met more people today than i have all year...i have recieved phone calls from people i havent talked to in months...things like this really bring people together it just sucks that it has to happen this way with such tragedy.

I just don't think allowing students to have guns on campus is the miracle cure that so many think it is.
not all lives would be saved in all situations. but i guarantee you if you have a trained CWL holder with a concealed pistol in the room, and hes not the first hit with a bullet, there is a pretty good chance that he will return fire immediately, and if not immediately, he will position himself to where he can defend himself and his classmates. i am a licensed gun holder and i take it everywhere legal, and many places where i shouldnt(outside of federal buildings, airplanes and other places where they search you), and i can tell you with absolute certainty, that no matter where i am, no matter how badly hurt i am, if i can shoot and/or kill a gunmen, i would in a heartbeat. not just for myself, but those around me.
youre not seeing it the way it would be. it wouldnt be "giving a bunch of college kids" guns. it would be people who are enrolled in the college who already own and train with weapons and hold a valid CWL. obviously it is something that needs monitoring, the legal concealed holders would register with the campus police so that they know who has them and where they are.
it wouldnt mean more dumbasses with guns, it means the ones who know how to use them and would use them to save lives would be allowed to carry them into places where currently EVERYONE is vulnerable to crazed gunmen, such as Vtech and this school.
another option would be to allow CWL holding teachers carry their guns. i just read a story yesterday about a teacher in polk county florida(where i live), that taught at a college, who was FIRED because he kept his legal concealed weapon in his car. their reason for firing him even though he kept it in his personal private property??? because it "sets a bad example" 
youre also forgetting that many "students" are also adults. many of them responsible adults.

how are you going to tase a gunman? 
i dont see why so many people cant understand that law abiding people, the ones who take the time to go about getting a gun, and training with it, then getting their CWL, are NOT the people who are going to abuse their right. they(myself included) only want to protect themselves and the people around them.
make the laws concerning getting the weapons and the licenses harder, im all for that. but dont tell responsible people that they have to go into a public place and worry about being shot to death because other people are scared of guns.
limiting responsible peoples rights concerning guns will not stop violent crime. illegal guns are all around us, and always will be. you can ban guns and they will still be there. arm the good citizens and the criminals will be less enticed to commit the same crimes. think about it, if you were a maniac with a gun, and you know of two highly populated schools in your area, one of which allowed responsible, law abiding students to carry their concealed weapons, and the other forbid it.... which do you think you would choose to attack?

i never pull my gun out when i get drunk. even when provoked. its called responsibility. just like anything, if you abuse your rights, you lose them.
you going to ban college students from having drivers licenses and cars because they "probably" at one point will drive intoxicated??? thats just backwards logic.

exactly. im not going to try and preserve something that they tried to take from me and my fellow human beings.
and yes they have short range tazer guns, however, you get ONE shot. you miss, you die. hell probably go for you next since you tried to be the hero.
my pistol gives me 10 chances. of which no more than 2 will be needed.

That is bullshit unless you're within 15 feet. I do agree with you about the fact that college students should be allowed to carry their weapons onto public campuses if they have a carry and conceal license. What weapon do you carry, lefty? The laws in GA are pretty lax.

how are you going to tase a gunman? 
i dont see why so many people cant understand that law abiding people, the ones who take the time to go about getting a gun, and training with it, then getting their CWL, are NOT the people who are going to abuse their right. they(myself included) only want to protect themselves and the people around them.
make the laws concerning getting the weapons and the licenses harder, im all for that. but dont tell responsible people that they have to go into a public place and worry about being shot to death because other people are scared of guns.
limiting responsible peoples rights concerning guns will not stop violent crime. illegal guns are all around us, and always will be. you can ban guns and they will still be there. arm the good citizens and the criminals will be less enticed to commit the same crimes. think about it, if you were a maniac with a gun, and you know of two highly populated schools in your area, one of which allowed responsible, law abiding students to carry their concealed weapons, and the other forbid it.... which do you think you would choose to attack?

I have a hard time believing that you only need two shots to take out a heavily armed attacker with a handgun at any appreciable distance. You would have to be a very good shot. EDIT: I sort of miss read your post, but it would still be rather difficult to take a guy out with one clip. I would probably be carrying a .40 Smith and Wesson or a .45 1911, but I can only buy rifles and shotguns.

I think there's a risk with school shootings that goes beyond the obvious: With mass media capitalizing on the shocking, tragic, sensational nature of these stories by replaying them constantly, people inadvertently begin to distort and exaggerate their actual significance. The result is natural, understandable, predictable, sometimes appropriate but often excessive to the point of being counter-productive (as when it reaches massive proportions): fear and anxiety. Such events as today warrant close scrutiny from every reasonable angle so that we can place them in context, because without context the "best", most genuine meaning (that from which we can draw constructive ideas) is severely degraded or lost.

ive been going to the range regularly since i was 15 with my dad. shot his .22 until i was 17 then started shooting his 9mm until i was able to purchase my own at 21. i since then have bought my .380 and a .357 mag. i hve gone to the range every other weekend for the last 2 years. i also do bowling pin shoot every 3rd saturday.
believe me or not . i am an awesome shot and i could put a bullet within 6 inches of the bullseye at 50 feet. i do it every other weekend. with all three guns.
edit: it wouldnt be hard at all. if hes less than 50 ft away then its easier than what i do on a regular basis. 1 bullet, two max. considering if im not having a good day

That seems pretty far fetched, but I'll have to take your word for it. I'm a pretty poor shot so that may have swayed my opinion. I could only make shots like that consistently with a Ruger Mark III or another target pistol.

I went a lot over the last summer. I was getting decent, but I stopped shooting when school started. It's been a few months since I've gone shooting.

i personally know 2 people that i could get black market guns from right now. theyre all over the place. criminals will always have guns. and even if you destroyed every gun and banned guns from being made, they would still be there. with average machinist skills and probably even below average, you could make one yourself.

no sir they wouldnt. if two decent americans such as ourselves have access to black market weapons, just how many hardened criminals do you think can? more than our governments could dream of stopping.
sadly enough, if they ever take away our 2nd amendment rights, i will be a criminal, because there is no way i am giving up guns.

Gun law debates are weird. I see positives and negatives from both sides.
If you ban/destroy guns completely: Criminals will still have guns but they won't be able to get them as easily. Those responsible gun carriers wont be able to carry to protect themselves. Less lethal but still lethal home-made weapons will be produced for protection/criminal acts.
If responsible carriers are trusted to carry: Those in need of being saved from a gun toting ass hole are more likely to receive help worth receiving. Criminals can grab boxes of guns off the back of trucks, off trains and use/sell them for criminal reasons.
Personally, I would go for no/destruction of guns. Unfortunately responsible carriers (including police) are afraid to give up their guns. These responsible carriers also fail to see how easy it is for a responsible carrier to become an irresponsible carrier. Whether its "This mother fucker stole twenty bucks from me", "This ass hole fucked my girlfriend", or some misunderstood words from one drunk to another a responsible gun carrier is capable of pulling that trigger in the heat of the moment for a very bad/no reason.
Those who do carry responsibly are afraid of the blood shed that might ensue from illegalization, which is feasible. But by keeping guns legal its just prolonging the steady trickle of blood that is occurring. People don't realize it may take more that one or two generations for the effects of illegalization to take effect. We should be concerned about future generations rather than the here and now. We may die by our own devices but our children's children wont. And when that crazy psychopath that wants to kill 25 people can't cause hes not capable of making a weapon to take out that many people before that many people can take him out decides against his plan to kill 25 people then the positives of illigalization will be present, but probably unnoticed.

Criminalizing private gun ownership is not going to stop criminals from getting guns. It wouldn't even slow them down. People don't pull guns very often over petty things. Doing so will result in a felony charge. That argument is pretty worthless. Criminalization will only stop responsible and recreational shooters from using firearms. Seriously, if a crazy wants to get a gun, nothing is going to stop him. He could simply get on the internet, buy a disabled automatic WW2 weapon, and if he has some machining skills or knows someone who does he will have an unregistered automatic weapon. No laws will hinder that process. Taking away any freedom we still have left is a step in the wrong direction.

most illegal guns come from outside of the country. the flow wont slow until the border is airtight. which it never will be. there will always be crazy fucks willing to risk everything to run shit through the desert/forest/coast to make some money. 
and i cannot argue the fact that some responsible carriers become irresponsible carriers. good people do turn around and murder people and etc. but you cant take everyones rights away because of a few.
more people are killed because of DUI and hit and run every year than guns ever have and ever will kill. are we going to ban cars?
responsibility lies in the hands of the person, we dont need the government taking away our rights(unless rightfully so after a crime is committed) any more than they already have.

To tell you the truth, if a vote to criminalize guns were to come up, I probably wouldn't vote. I'm kind of on a teetering point on this issue.
When you talk about DUI hit & runs you're talking about unintentional killings mostly. Most shootings are premeditated; most DUI hit & runners are trying to get home not trying to kill.
I'm not saying that criminalization will bring an immediate end to firearm related crimes. It might even bring a rise in them, for a while, but as more and more guns are found and removed from circulation fewer and fewer crimes will be committed.
I'm not up to date on the latest firearms statistics in Europe but it seems that they do very well without them. Killing must be more difficult without firearms.

Because bats, fists, knifes, brass knuckles, and various other blunt objects won't work well enough? Regular people will just kill each other differently. Different means to the same end. Criminals will still be shooting themselves.

.....I'm not saying criminalization will remove the ability to kill, but it will in fact prevent one from killing 25 people in one sitting. People will always kill people, but people can't keep going around killing everyone.

Why would it prevent that from happening? It's not difficult to acquire illegal weapons. From handguns to machine pistols to assault rifles, they can all be found illicitly fairly easily. Why would any legislation change that?

Just like its taking more than ten years to remove the two dollar bill from circulation it will take a long time to remove guns from black markets and markets. It just needs a beginning, a first step, something to start preventing these mass killings.

I'll say this and only this about the guns issue, because i usually am too high to give a shit about anything -
Prohibition takes guns away from everyone but the criminals. If you want to impose legislation that would eliminate all firearms from the united states period, then your living on pluto.
Everyone should have the ability to carry a firearm at all times. If all of the kids in the lecture hall had concealed pistols, the gunman would probably be the only one dead.
Excuse that little taste of sobriety - back to the ritual.

When you talk about DUI hit & runs you're talking about unintentional killings mostly. Most shootings are premeditated; most DUI hit & runners are trying to get home not trying to kill.
I'm not saying that criminalization will bring an immediate end to firearm related crimes. It might even bring a rise in them, for a while, but as more and more guns are found and removed from circulation fewer and fewer crimes will be committed.
I'm not up to date on the latest firearms statistics in Europe but it seems that they do very well without them. Killing must be more difficult without firearms.

Those who do carry responsibly are afraid of the blood shed that might ensue from illegalization, which is feasible. But by keeping guns legal its just prolonging the steady trickle of blood that is occurring. People don't realize it may take more that one or two generations for the effects of illegalization to take effect. We should be concerned about future generations rather than the here and now. We may die by our own devices but our children's children wont. And when that crazy psychopath that wants to kill 25 people can't cause hes not capable of making a weapon to take out that many people before that many people can take him out decides against his plan to kill 25 people then the positives of illigalization will be present, but probably unnoticed.
doesnt matter if dui and hit and run manslaughter is premeditated or not, the fact is, they made the concious decision to get into the vehicle and drive knowing they should not. might as well be premeditated, everyone knows what can and does happen when you drive drunk.
last i heard gun crime hasnt changed much since they were banned in britain. they have the same problem we do over here, the guns are being trafficked in under the radar from other countries. its like digging a hole at the beach, you can pull as much sand out as you want, but more is just going to fill the void.
i simply cannot agree with the argument that illegalization will fix the problem, because once again, it all boils back down to the individual. if a man or woman has their intentions set on murdering someone it doesnt matter what they have to do it, they will do it. take away their guns, theyll use knives, take away their knives theyll use sticks, take away those and theyll resort to rocks. there are thousands upon thousands of day to day items that can be used for murder. are we going to start banning them all?

Do you only support freedoms that you approve of? You will never stop the black market. It's too profitable. Making guns illegal will only make the them more valuable on the black market. This same concept applies to illegal drugs.

i could rig up an air powered nail gun right now to the point that the nails would fire more rapidly and with 3-4 times the original power, hook that to a tank in a backpack and you can do close to the damage these people have done.
it is also not hard to make simple yet powerful pipe bombs.
a vehicle could take out a number of people.
there are numerous ways one could still kill many.

Just like its taking more than ten years to remove the two dollar bill from circulation it will take a long time to remove guns from black markets and markets. It just needs a beginning, a first step, something to start preventing these mass killings.
noone else in the world prints $2 american bills.
many many other people manufacture weapons in many other countries.
the drug war has worked quite well wouldnt you say?? noone does drugs anymore right?

no, he would have most likely killed at least one person and probley would have wounded another. but yes, the scene wouldn't have been so bad and we wouldn't end up with someone eating our tax money in prison.
as far as guns go...wasn't there a country that outlawed guns and then the government start killing the people and the people had no way to fight back?

Like I said, killing will always happen, but mass murder in minuets shouldn't happen. This shooter didn't know everyone he shot, he just hated anything that had a beating heart. So he came up with a way to kill as many people as he could as fast as possible. These kids aren't killing out of frustration anymore, there going for the high score. We need to make it hard to even hypothesize an event like this.
Humor teaches a lot. Maybe this is the answer; &feature=related
