I don’t think you should presume to speak for the 32 familes. I can’t think of anyone on my campus I would feel comfortable with knowing they had a gun.

Can you think of someone on your campus who, if armed, might just gun down 30+ people? I bet you know someone like that, some freak who acts as if they might just snap any second now. I would feel more comfortable knowing there was a second gun around to take the shooter out.

Did you know that today is Yad Hoshoah? Do you know why the Warsaw ghetto uprising lasted as long as it did? Guns.

The worst massacre to occur on a school campus in this country took the lives of 38 people, most of them children, on May 18th, 1927. Not one of those 38 was shot. The murderer, Andrew Kehoe, blew up the newly-constructed Bath School in Bath, Michigan. He timed the explosion to go off simultaneously with his own dynamite-laden truck, which killed himself, the school's superintendent, and three other people. No shots.

How many times does it have to be said before it makes sense? Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Take the guns away from law-abiding citizens and this country will become a shooting gallery.
