Guns

Why not. These aren't going to be the people causing trouble anyway, but they can sure stop it! "Those who are willing to give up their guns to make plows will soon be plowing for those who did not"

I know I would think twice about pulling my gun out if I thought everyone else around me had one too

that's an interesting point.. I saw an editorial cartoon on that the other day. basically it was like, someone yelled "Gun!" and then EVERYONE pulled out their guns and started shooting.. but didn't know who it was they were supposed to be shooting at....

now maybe that's not realistic ? or maybe it is.. in a perfect world, everyone could just open up on the idiot who started shooting in the first place

Well you guys are basically ignoring history when you make these suggestions.

If you recall, once upon a time it was fairly common for men to openly carry firearms.....why do you think every civilized nation in the world now has laws against this type of behavior?

Here's a hint, it's not because the crime rate went down.....

Don't take my comment the wrong way.. it's not that I'm against the idea at all.. If there had been some other folks carrying legal firearms around at Virginia Tech, fewer lives could have been lost. If that idiot could have been gunned down... I just thought it was an interesting point.

Me and the wife watched Texas Gov. Rick Perry yesterday on TV honoring some of our fine solders returning from Iraq. Gov. Perry did a great job speaking to the men and I would vote for him to be Gov. of LA but I know he would not like to have this mess we have here in LA. I would like to see more Americans able to carry side arms but I am not sure how all the back ground checks could be done for everyone that is a resident of the USA
