How come CRIMINALS and NUTCASES don’t respect or abide by this?

Every single high school and university shooting was a, ready for this,

a GUN FREE ZONE?

Why is it so terrible for people to want to defend themselves from these nut cases?

Although this sort of legislation is what we need in order to hold gun owners and dealers accountable

God forbid we hold THE CRIMINAL accountable.

A lot more kids under 21 die from alcohol related traffic accidents every year than from guns. Outlaw cars or let’s have prohibition again. I could weather those restrictions better than disarming me and opening me and my family to criminals and an oppressive government.

Round up the liberals in some auditorium and let a nut in there with a gun who USES it and maybe then, if any of them survives they’ll understand how nuts THEY ARE.

This weekend more than 5 college students will be killed in drunk auto accidents, most of them will be under 21.

When are these people going to call for the ellimination of alcohol or is it only gun deaths they are concerned about.

Sad to say, many many gun control laws have been passed.

That dude was in violation of numerous laws before he even fired a shot.

The lack of respect for law and order is part of why these types of shootings can happen also. The criminals don’t care about the laws which are alleged to outlaw such tragedies. So then what does society do with people who don’t obey the gun laws in the first place, and are determined to perpetrate such tragedy?

Is there even one sentence here that addresses a lone nutcase with a shotgun?

>>>>>>”it would be extremely unlikely that an ordinary citizen not sufficiently trained to handle these situations would be able to effectively take down an enraged attacker.”

The NRA Rifleman publishes half-a-dozen such stories every month, usually excerpted from local newspaper accounts.

“Although this sort of legislation is what we need in order to hold gun owners and dealers accountable, “

The police and government must be held accountable, too. In each case where the government did not protect a citizen, those responsible must be fined heavily, and if needed, incarcerated. Why was there no SWAT team in that lecture hall? Criminal negligence on the part of police and elected officials, and the Board of Regents of the school.

and hopefully find that personal handguns only exacerbate the problem of gun violence.

Hope is all good and well but thats not what the facts say

These events take place in a matter of seconds, and it would be extremely unlikely that an ordinary citizen not sufficiently trained to handle these situations would be able to effectively take down an enraged attacker.


Which is why cops don’t carry guns, I guess.
