my stance:
it's not the wild wild west anymore. why do people feel the need to own guns in this day and age?*~Pearl Jam will be blasted from speakers until morale improves~*0 -

Hey man, not to be a dick or anything but what you said before...about it happening with edged weapons...whens the last time you've heard of a dude going on a stabbing rampage for two hours and killing 31 (at least 21) people. I'm not evening talking about gun control...that just doesnt make sense.0 -

I am seriously not interested in a gun control debate, but I will respond to your point ... I was not trying to suggest that a guy with a knife can kill as many people as someone with a gun, although it HAS happened that pretty large death tolls have occured in Japan with knives or even swords.
That was all I said.0 -

yea thats insane. you would think he would get rushed before he had a chance to kill SO many people. so fucking sad.
but this will do nothing to change gun laws. nor should it.
I do feel however that if this was done with a automatic machine gun, I would feel different.0 -

Is there any number of people that if killed by an handgun welding person, would get you to change your mind about gun laws?0 -

Yeah but if this was a (presumably) gun that holds 15+ bullets and can be emptied quickly and reloaded just as fast. This type of gun just seems unnecessary for a citizen to have. But whatever, I'm so tired of guns I don't care whether we have them or not. We need to spend $400 billion on education in this country instead of nation building on the other side of the world.0 -

yes, even after today I would like laws to be harder to obtain them. but where is the middle ground we can come to that will keep guns legal but also keep them out of the hands of people who shouldnt have them. it sucks.0 -

how well is that enforced? i've seen inner city schools have detectors and things of that sort. the high school i graduated from was 4A, but in a clean county. we had empty bomb threats, but nothing serious. the high school i transferred in from after freshman year was 2A and had cops all over campus with detectors. who would have thought that VT would be a target?
people bitch about the US becoming a police state with cameras and security checks and stuff, but i would probably vote for legislation favoring security. (if they proposed something here in clemson)you're a real hooker. im gonna slap you in public.

hey hey hey, no Iraq shit here.
but your point about the handgun. I dont think this handgun should be banned. although I am amazed if this is true. so far its 32 dead and 22 wounded.
I'm just shocked that 54 people could be shot by a handgun before he is taken down.0 -

The middle ground may start with enforcing the actual laws on the books right now instead of constantly passing knee-jerk legislation with no intent to enforce it.0 -

where do you get this information? i live in the wild west and it's basically no different than the 1880's. where i live everyone carries a gun.0
