Okay I read some of the pdf. College campus? Good Lord, that doesn't address the thrust of my post!

Let's not cherry pick.

Tell that to all the families of all the people who would die if everyone were allowed to carry a gun onto a plane. You do realize that there are unbalanced people in the world, right? And that ONE - ONE - ONE bullet can depressurize a plane and kill everyone on board, before all the rational cowbo...

No, they won't "do evil" because when they are angry at me for the fact that they did not study they will not have a gun to pull out and blow me away. People can and do commit crimes of passion, which they do not plan for. It astonishes and worries me that some people find a bloody shooto...

If they are acting on impulse and don't have the means available to them, they won't because they can't! I do not want to make it easy for them. ;) The means are always available - the person is the weapon, not the tool. A gun is a tool as is a knife, club or shard of glass. A gun gives a 100lb wom...

OMG, you indeed understand my point about the 1st amendment. I intended to be absurd. From wikipedia: If there were no limits on one constitutional right, freedom of the press, then the press would be able to go anywhere they chose, at any time. To follow the logic that rights cannot be restricted,...

And I guarantee anyone that supports guns in schools would change their tune if the gun was turned on one of their kids. Its not tyranny its common sense. BTW...I am someone that carries a gun always, but I would never carry one into a school. Should you be guilty of a crime simply because you have...

I grew up in a house full of guns. I learned how to shoot quail using a 12-gauge shotgun and varmints with a .22 and deer with a 30-ought-six. We lived on a farm and had them for hunting as well as personal protection (there were human varmints, too). But guns should have sensible restrictions, the...

:p I am not wanting to "outlaw" guns. Just not remove long standing restrictions on them where they already exist. We restrict how cars can be used, too. I love England. It is my favorite country, other than this one. ;) :D Driving a car is a privilege while bearing arms is a right, yes? ...
