Two totally different rants as I'm watching (technically listening, as my Mom is watching Dateline downstairs, and I can't see the television) another news show about the massacre ( Read more... )

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

I agree, especially on the 20-somethings having a shootout. How many hotheaded kids would think twice about pulling out a gun in an argument if they all carried them around on campus?

I agree with you. I am anti-gun, but stronger gun control would not have prevented this.

The VTech NRA group is full of it simply because of history's lesson. In 66 when Whitman was blasting away from the tower here in Texas, locals joined the police shooting at him. (I always found that a very "Texas" fact. Where else would random people just pull out their guns and start shooting at a criminal?) And he still managed to kill 16 people (17 if you count the guy who lived on dialysis until he couldn't take it anymore and died from his injuries) and wounded a bunch more. So, clearly, guns on the campus is not going to solve a thing. Not to mention the logistics of a shoot out in a crowded area, like you said ( ... )

Oooh.. I used awesome grammar and said "They a tool." Let me rephrase that.. they ARE a tool... :)
