She probably wouldn't have killed them without a gun. That is the problem with guns. A minor nothing argument suddenly gets amped to 11 because a gun always wins. Maybe they would have tussled but you don't die from that.
Numerous statistics show states with more guns lead to more gun deaths.
I doubt every one will make the news but here's one. I wouldn't sit in front of a classroom of armed students. No way. Look what happened in the OP. Your life is one argument away, a student breaks up with his girlfriend and you give him a D? No thanks.
Read what he says in this article. This guy doesn't even hate guns, but says the university is not the place for armed students.
God fearing Christian shoots her two daughters dead,
...
She previously posted that Democrats are trying to take her guns. It's a shame they couldn't, two young girls would still be alive.
Hmmm, and what ONE thing to all the locations you listed have in common?
Say it together class - GUN FREE ZONES
That's right, those crimes occurred in locations where criminals KNEW they could not be thwarted by law abiding citizens who were armed to protect themselves and others.
But back to blaming those guns!
Should we allow guns on airplanes so that law abiding citizens can be armed and protect themselves?
And this is why America is in trouble. Big trouble. Jumped by a couple of thugs... really... gunfight... wounded ... buddy waiting for the handoff... oh dear Jesus this just can't be really why we can't move forward towards the 20th Century is it???

the problem though is that not all batteries last as long as the manufacturers suggest. sometimes batteries have flaws in them, and they die an early death. at least is you put a flashlight in the drawer, and the batteries die, you dont die because of dead batteries. when the batteries in a smoke detector start to die, there is an audible warning of that fact.
