Based on my knowledge of Newton's law of cooling and how quickly the Brady Bunch had an update on their site following Tucson, you might be onto something there.

sounds like it would have been a better case for having the students at the off-site residence to be personally armed instead.

Maybe it is just better not to party into the early hours of the morning, not allow in strangers, and lock the front door. You know, common sense stuff.

I understand it happen off campus. I still think that firearms and colleges do and should be mixed. after all, we cant gve the criminals all the free targets by not having our children being unarmed.

So we have twelve students who were shot because they didn't have their own guns with which to defend themselves. That about sum it up?

Show me a mass shooting, and I'll show you an unarmed public.

You have 12 students who would have been shot whether they had guns of their own or not.

since they were not armed, you do not know for sure whether that statement is true or not.

I do know that a gun does not make you bulletproof.

Are you suggesting differently?

sound familiar?

Fort Hood shooter chose the gun-free area of the base instead of the shooting range on base ... wonder why?

Here's the facts:

2 non-student gang bangers gate crash (intrude/invade) a Frat gathering, they are told to leave. They return and shoot unarmed students there like fish in a barrel.

If any alcohol was going to be at the gathering, any licensee would, as a law abiding citizen, leave his gun at home. So what you have is criminals invading a "gun-free zone" to shoot unarmed students.

Criminals illegally carrying guns to shoot unarmed students is an argument FOR Campus carry ... not AGAINST it.

For cryin' out loud, you anti-gun people jump on every tragedy to plead your cause.

Give it a rest please.
You can give it a rest, too.
I don't feel that because a bunch of men didn't get their yayas as kids playing with guns, that they feel everyone in the US should carry a gun.
That's a wackaloon viewpoint.

I don't want a country where everyone is armed.
What the heck are we teaching kids and visitors.

I live in Europe and I know people who will never visit the US because they're afraid of the guns and hype of guns.
How much income to the states does this cost us.

Big boys playing little boy games is ridiculous.
