Sorry, but because you feel this way does not make you correct, and this is why when honest law abidnig guns owners run into un-educated non0gun owners we get defensive.

Your arsenal, is my way of handing off hundreds and thousands of dollars to my son when I'm gone, did you ever think of that?

How many cars do you have? Do you say the same thing about auto collectors? There are MANY rare guns out there that rival the cost of vintage cars....

You cannot mix law abiding gun owners and thugs....and this is what happens to many times.

Interesting stats... Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) - Weapon Use by Offense Type

An offender was armed with a gun, knife, or other object used as a weapon in an estimated 22% of all incidents of violent crime.
Offenders used firearms to commit 8% of violent crime incidents in 2009.
Robberies (47%) were the most likely crime to involve an armed offender.
Firearms (28%) were the most common weapons used in robberies.
Most rapes and assaults did not involve the use of a weapon.
From 1993-1997, of serious nonfatal violent victimizations, 28% were committed with a firearm, 4% were committed with a firearm and resulted in injury, and less than 1% resulted in gunshot wounds.

It's a gun that reloads itself.

Yes, let's allow drunken, drugged up college kids who are stressed about getting good grades, sleeping enough, having fun, relationships, graduating and getting a job to have guns on campus. I do not see a problem with this.

You are almost right...care to try again....

Nope, you are correct, but let's have a place where no guns are allowed, so people can go on campus (where the person NO GUNS ARE ALLOWED) yea, and kill people....cause they know they won't have to worry about being fired back at....at least not for a while anyway... that makes just as much sence as what you have written, cause everyone knows all college students are what you just said....

It makes plenty of sense. You know who has guns on campus? The police, who are policing the campus.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, are you sure those campus cops carry?

Would you care to try again?

Quote:
Columbus State Community College (OH) President Val Moeller doesn’t want guns on her campus. Understandable -- when it comes to the institution’s civilian faculty and nearly 23,000 students -- but extremely controversial when you realize that Moeller’s resolve to maintain a firearms-free environment extends to the sworn officers who make up the college’s police force.
Should campus cops carry guns? One college president says no.

Your statement did indicate how little you actually know about the practice, though. I can't help but wonder how uneducated you are about everything else related to guns, as well.
No knowledge=fear.
