One of the biggest mass-shootings in history was from a University of Texas bell-tower; the man was later autopsied, and found to have a huuuuge tumor in his brain.

Why weren’t more people killed?

When he started shooting, many Texas students (and faculty) swiftly responded by simply shooting back at the tower —many of them had rifles in their trunks, dorm rooms.

In many cases, the sniper’s aim was spoiled, and he had to take cover within the tower.

We shall see soon enough.

Someone said that if every German Jew had a Mauser Rifle and six rounds of ammunition and the willingness to use it, Hitler would have been a footnote in the history of the Weidnmyer [sp?]Republic.

I hope that historians will not say the same about us. But we shall find out for ourselves soon enough.

Do not be lulled into a false sense of security, this man has every intention of carrying out the agenda of his associates.

Daffy always got the short end of the stick, and Elmer’s muzzle in his noodle.

I think the entities with "gun free zones" should be sued anytime they fail to protect the individuals on their property.

If they deny an individual the ability to protect themselves, I assume they are taking on that job and should be held legally and financially accountable for anyone harmed as a result.

The Virginia Tech shooting occurred one year after Va Tech banned guns on campus.

Look how PC we've become, even here on FR:

That would be unlawful discharge.

Responsible students 21 and over? Yes, they should be able to carry.


They NEVER mention the 21 age limit in these stories.

Lots of attacks on females at the U of Oregon in the last couple of weeks. A couple of perps springing leaks would put a stop to it.

Yeah whatever. That’s just the law. You can’t fire a gun within the city limits. That’s dumb anyway. Shooting at cans? Go back in the woods and do that.
