If someone at VA Tech would have been armed don't you think a few lives could have been saved? If armed you have a fighting chance, unarmed your a sheep to be slaughtered at will. Why is that so hard to understand?
You can give up and die, I will go down fighting hoping to at least take the bad guy with me so he is stopped. Who knows the life I (or someone else who is carrying) save may be yours!
You on the other hand prefer to let the bad guy take you and yours and do with them as he pleases. Sheep!
Dude, please re-read my post. What you're not accounting for is IF any of the people in that chained up building would have had a gun in the first place. Most of them were in there for language and, I think, engineering classes. I hardly think they would be more likely to have guns than, say, a class full of criminal justice students. So let's say guns were allowed on college campuses, what if no one wanted to carry one? Sorry, even if it was legal, I wouldn't want a gun. Too many things can go wrong.

I disagree, I know literally hundreds of people in that carry daily. It's like putting a wallet in their pocket and no more noticeable that same.
I am willing to bet that engineers in particular would be on board with CCW on campus. In order to get a CCW permit substantial training is required along with the ability to show proficiency with a firearm, that type of discipline is right up an engineers alley!
Things don't go wrong when you are properly trained. If you are in a CCW state there are more people carrying around you everyday than you realize, do some research!

Once again, I have to disagree. There's no saying that those people would have carried guns to class, even if they'd been allowed. I think you're dishonoring their memories by using them as political pawns to justify allowing guns on college campuses.

And the U.S. Military are "properly trained" yet we always hear of "friendly-fire", surely that's something of a mess.
forget the military. if something like Mumbai happens here shouldn't we have guns to fight for our families? they chose Mumbai because no one had guns to stop them.
Things don't go wrong when you are properly trained.
I was responding to this statement specifically.
I think the statement comes from some fantasy place where everyone who is 'properly trained' is a 'good' guy and a sharpshooter....ridiculous.
No one said that war and getting mugged or attacked by terrorists in a Mumbai style siege was the same, you are extrapolating with a sharp right turn.

Although I am and always have been for CC,I think it isYOU that need to do a bit of research..."Things don't go wrong when you are properly trained"....That is an assinine statement or at very least an uneducated one by someone who has never been out in the real world.

"...what if no one wanted to carry one?''
So why waste resources on prohibition?

That's not even remotely an argument....
