Actually, the gun grabbers are jumping all over this, claiming pepper spray is good enough. No guns necessary.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with pepper spray who is lucky enough to wait until the bad guy’s gun is empty.

Pepper spray is effective only on the non-psychotic.

Spraying someone having a wild psychotic episode only makes them madder.

Neither guns nor pepper spray are allowed in liberal doctrine. There is a reason why Pacifism is a key tenet promoted by cynical liberals and worshiped by their idiot followers. To cynical liberals, the only valid reason to use a weapon is to destroy America; to idiot liberals, reasoned dialogue would be enough to neutralize Osama bin Laden.

Let me rephrase this:

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with pepper spray who has the nerves of steel to wait until the bad guy killed enough people to empty his gun's magazine.

It is not a matter of gun laws. It is a matter of mentally ill being identified as hostile and not doing anything about it because we don’t want to harm their self esteem or some liberal / pc horse pucky.(as is this nut’s case)

Even our idiot governor had to mention that gun violence need to be stopped.

So does that mean knife violence is ok? Or, how about bat violence? What about pipe violence across the knees?

Really, how about getting the nut cases off the streets?

Exactly. This young man is a hero with amazing courage. That should not be diminished.

Apparently this campus is a pepper spray free zone.

The kid will likely face charges and be expelled.

The thread title is wrong. It should read “The Gun Wanted To Kill As Many Possible.” The inanimate object is the perp...right??

Umm, liberals are afraid that guns will be used to defend America. That would get in their way.

We probably should make sure every soldier has pepper spray...then we could cut down on the amount of ammunition purchased. (Idiots!)

Right. They’ll next be demanding that police departments, the Marines, the Seals and the Army infantry just carry pepper spray. And I wish this was just sarcasm but in this world, insanity knows no boundaries.
