    I guess he didn't see the "Gun Free Zone" Sign. :mad:

    Good thing all the law abiding students saw it. :(

    Its funny all these shootings happen in places where guns are not allowed.

    Wait actually it isn't funny at all. Disarming sane people is the sadest thing in the world.

    This is one of the worst days in American history.

    My thought's go out to those families who just lost sons/daughters for no reason. All they were doing was going to college (what is supposed to be a safe place)

    Yes, I'm sure far less shootings would happen if guns were allowed on college campuses...

    Yeah you are right. Allowing only psychos to carry them is a much better system.

    If ever college student had access to a gun, this would never have happened and the world would be a better and safer place.

    During this time we should not argue but I think crazy liberals need to rethink their positions on things when horrific things like this happen.

    The idea of a world without guns is great but reality is that the crazy idiots have them and to protect yourself and your family you got to do what you got to do.

    But the truth is school shooting is mostly an American phenomenon. How can you explain that?

    Take the debate to the D&D where you can start your petition calling for all law abiding citizens to be allowed to carry handguns. Will duels be legal again in this utopia?

    This event really bothers me more than others and I think that's why. My little bro is going to go to UT next year and safe places just don't seem to exist anymore. So sad.

    So, you don't think we should argue, but you go ahead and argue? :confused:

    Actually most states already allow for this. Except for on schools.

    I cannot believe there are twits on this board who are jumping on this tragedy to rant about "crazy liberals". Show even the smallest amount of class. Please.

    I agree to stop arguing right now if these people stop also.

    Notice all the news outlets were so quick to say this must have involved an assault rifle?
