This is why teroristsdont even bother attacking us. Stupid kids do it themselves and they probably sit back, watch and laugh. This honestly scares me considering im in college and school is suppost to be a safe inviroment, but we really dont have security against guns and what not, just cops patroling the parkng lot for people speedng or parking illegally.

RIP and I hope the family and friends are OK

Don't be scared. Live your life. If something happens and you're in it, it was meant to be, unfortunately.

Don't walk around scared about 'terrorist'(or whatever they call them) or people that shoot up schools.

People are gonna do what they do, regardless.

Just be happy and everything else will work out. (I'm sure you're a happy guy as is.).

If you're in harms way, maybe it was your time to experience it, regardless of whether we're 'good people' or not.

That's life, unfortunately.

Just because an area is supposed to be 'safe' doesn't mean it will be.

Your home is no safer than the school(unless of course you have guns and other weapons in your home to protect you).

Went to undergrad there. F'd up! Not sure what is wrong with kids these days. Just saying to a buddy of mine how 10 years ago when we were there, you never thought of shit like this. We were more worried about passing and having fun. Crazy world out there.

Should everyone just carry a gun? Then when a crazy CRIMINAL starts shooting, the sane NON-CRIMINALS shoot the CRIMINAL.

Pretty much. Rules were meant to be broken.

Not to mention the NRA lobbyists would legally fight it out to the death(no pun intended).

Whats that going to do?? Take the guns away form the lawful citizens and keep them in the hands of criminals?


If you really want to stop this crap remember the old saying "A criminal prefers a helpless unarmed victim" Fact is if people think you are armed you are less likely to be a victim of a crime, after all criminals want an easy done deal.


Now in mosts states including mine we have laws that CCW (law abiding citizens with training to carry concealed weapons) can not carry on school gorunds... Well in my state we are trying to change that with a bill.. I hope this passes. After all only law abiding citizens follow the no weapons allowed laws..

Also statically during a shooting such as what happened the gun man if faced with any opposition is most likely to commit suicide or give up. Hence when the police arrive the gunman kills himself... But the problem is "when" the police arrive, seconds matter but the police are only minuets away.

Now this might sound scary and outrageous to some of you, but carrying open or concealed is a very common thing in Arizona, especially in the rural areas just about everyone carries. And statistically crime is lower when citizens are armed. After all Switzerland requires by law that every male over the age of 18 must have a rifle along with X amount of ammo at home along with being proficient in the use of the weapon, and they have relatively low crime rates.


Just ask yourself this.. When a shooter starts unloading would you rather have me a CCW permit holder with a gun or me a permit holder with an empty holster since the law has restrictions on places we can carry.. And lets face it trying to ban guns isnt gunna happen, they will still be smuggled in from mexico like drugs are now and just end up in the hands of the criminals. Plus the founding fathers realized that an armed population is more free since the government lives in fear of us rather than us living in fear of the government, they also knew that by having arms if we needed to one day we could rebel against the government if it took/tried to away our basic god given rights as humans.


And after all dont take away my freedom of owning a gun. I didnt do anything wrong... Plus I enjoy it like some people like fishing or playing a round of golf. To me going to the range is relaxing and its something I can do that allows me to put away work/school ect and have fun for a few hours and enjoy being with friends. Ask yourself this should we ban all cars with more than 200 hp? After all 200hp is a lot and a lot of folks with more kill themeless plus its a waste of resources since engines that make more horsepower use more gas.
