I don’t want to eliminate anyones right to bear arms. However, lets be real, I doubt that that bill passing keeps this from happening today. Just like a “tougher” gun law wouldn’t keep this from happening today.

If these kids were killed in class, I cannot see any university that would or should allow students to be walking around with guns in class with them.

I agree... Allowing college students to carry arms into classrooms is not the solution. I’m in college and I would feel incredibly uncomfortable going to class surrounded my random people with firearms. College students drink a lot and do stupid things. They don’t need to be carrying guns around.

If these kids were killed in class, I cannot see sending my sheep...er...children to a university which would not allow students to walk around with the means to self defense.

This is not "tragic", this is preventable. I've noticed in the newsreporting for these potential SJS ("SJS= Sudden Jihad Syndrome) incidents, there's always some plausible motivation thrown out there -- mad over girlfriend, lost a job, but then you find out the shooter is given an Islamic burial in Bosnia or something.

I guess we still want to keep our eyes tightly closed and tell the boogeyman to go away.

Doesn't anyone in the DC area remember the 2 "angry white men in a white van-that-turned-out-to-be-a-muslim-convert" sniper duo that made it a terror to get gas or go to home depot for fear of being sniped? I can't remember a time feeling so powerless and ridiculous. We'd better go get Chief Moose on the case, right away. Otherwise, we'll have no red herrings to fry up in the media.

Just because my children are not in the public school system, doesn't mean I want to see others' children live or die through a Beslan.

Will we ever learn?

You mean "students" like me, a 35 year old holder of an FFL and an MI officer? I can shoot quarters out of the sky. If I had been in Norris Hall, and been "illegally" armed like most law-abiding citizens, I could have possibly stopped this attack or at least mitigated it.

This maniac, in a "gun-free" zone, shot over 50 students, killing half, for over 2 HOURS!!!

THAT TO ME IS INSANE! LAW ABIDING CITIZENS NOT CARRYING DEFENSIVE FIREARMS TO ME IS THE INSANE PART!
