The evidence shows your claim to be quite clearly untrue.<BR/><BR/>So your solution is to ensure that psychos like the Virginia Tech killer have no one readily available to stop his killing spree, when if even one of the teachers he came across had been armed, many lives could have been saved.<BR/><BR/>You simply are not making any sense.<BR/><BR/>Dan SchmutterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317915899067341863.post-4360733020833626912007-07-07T20:51:00.000-04:002007-07-07T20:51:00.000-04:00My main point of this post is that, even if this a...My main point of this post is that, even if this atrocity could have been stopped sooner because somebody was armed (and prepared to take a human life, which I don't think would be so easy for me) more people with guns means more gun violence.<BR/><BR/>For the tens of deaths that might have been saved in this case, hundreds more would occur in cases where people with impaired judgement had readily accessible firearms. I'm not talking about people with histories that would fail a background check when purchasing a gun. I'm talking about college students drinking too much or facing high stress or depression for the first time.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949635272665040353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317915899067341863.post-86281438170189753922007-07-07T16:32:00.000-04:002007-07-07T16:32:00.000-04:00Except, Jeremy, nothing you said explains why Prof...Except, Jeremy, nothing you said explains why Professors and other licensed adults should not have been permitted to carry a firearm on campus.<BR/><BR/>The fact is that Virginia Tech was a safe zone for the shooter. If any of the Faculty or University staff that this guy encountered during his rampage had been armed, he might have killed far fewer.<BR/><BR/>Instead, the shooter was guaranteed free reign to shoot as many as he liked for an extended period of time. All that his victims, students and faculty alike, could do was die.<BR/><BR/>Dan SchmutterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317915899067341863.post-24442829786895224912007-04-19T14:10:00.000-04:002007-04-19T14:10:00.000-04:00You win!
