What is that makes you know this? I you ban hand guns from the good people only the ones that dont follow laws will have them. The police cant be there when you need them you as an individual must take responsability to protect your self and others if permited. Just a thought Thank you.
No quick fix
Submitted on April 16th, 2008 by GolfferdieYour right There is no quick fix, But is there a plan untill there is a fix? Allow only Qualified people( Trained and tested along with phyco eval )to carry. People who shot clearlly had issues Right? Why did the school allow him to go around untreated or supervised or exspelled? The school had reports of issues with these guys. They need to step to the plate and find the answer or make one, They are paid much money to run these places time to earn it. Make a decesion already. Dont wait for the political winds to blow!!!!!!

There are no quick-fix
Submitted on April 16th, 2008 by AnonymousThere are no quick-fix solutions to this problem, but I know allowing professors and students to be armed on-campus will only lead to more tragedy. I don't know what will lead to a resolution on the issue, but fighting fire with fire will only burn us down. (Though if this happened, maybe something better will follow us.)
