Kill my kid however, now you have a problem.

you're so tough.


i don't have an opinion. i would imagine i might feel safer walking through a dangerous neighbourhood with a gun in my pocket; but i would imagine i'd feel pretty uncomfortable if some dude had a gun in his pocket sitting next to me at chuck-y-cheeses. no, it's not that i'm a pussy. i grew up with shotguns and rifles. it's just that the idea of everyone walking around with guns makes me feel uncomfortable. i don't know. no handguns here in canadaland and it's working out quite well.

pointless argument. those kids we're fucked up. they would have found other ways to take out their targets if everyone in class was carrying. making bombs can't be hard.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold made bombs, and they did not detonate Although I see your point about defending yourself against a bomb, it's not the preferred method. Most people are too stupid to make anything, much less a bomb that requires some knowledge of chemistry and mechanics. Gun shootings are far easier, so it's not a pointless argument to say that lives could have been saved. VT killings would have likely been reduced to 3-4 if there had been one person with a CCL in that classroom.

I agree with someone at VT being armed that may have prevented some of those tragic deaths. I wonder how many people realize that the gunman in the recent Israel school shooting was stopped by a student/staff member with a gun and NOT an Israeli commando/policeman which was reported on the news. We can't have that info flying around here in the US because it would back up the idea of letting students CCW on campus.
If the general public is uncomfortable with 21 yr olds carrying a weapon in school, why not raise the age limit to 23 or 24 for CCW on campus? Hell, we have no problems giving 18 yr old "kids" rifles and guns and shipping them over seas to do battle so why not allow them to CCW on campus when they reach a certain age?

I wonder if the "University of Utah" has any problems with violence against students. I'm betting you won't see another VT incident there.

My response was satirical :P, i dont think we should arm our children with firearms.

yeah that was pretty obvious, but your first sentence is used a lot in these types of debates.

yeah i see your point. to me though when these people are fucked up like they are; there's a lot of preporation and planning that goes into what their plans. learning how to make a bomb for them i'm sure would be a fun filled learning experience.
