annoy: I'm from the area, haven't heard anything bad about the people I know from there yet. Hopefully they are ok. Cousin went there but he graduated last year and my other one went to Radford, they knew a bunch of people from the school.

yeah, that has worked real well for drugs, and prohibition of alcohol before that.

The fact is if someone wants to shoot someone, they can always do it, no matter how many laws you put in place. Anti gun laws punish legitimate gun owners for crimes committed by fucked up people.

yea but it would make it more difficult for people such as school kids or what not to get hold of them.


yes bad people would still have them via black market, terrorism or what not but surely grabbing a gun that your father or what not owns and keeps around the house is just wrong....mhmmm let me think.

yeah, most people who commit crimes with guns are people who a) aren't allowed to have them at all or b) people who have obtained them illegally.
