Another school shooting.... What is going on?!?!

[fireking550]

So a gunman with a shotgun and two handguns entered a Illinois Campus and started opening fire at random people, no specific target. He was a student from another school and at this point has no connection to the other school. He killed four people as well as wounding several others. This was nothing compared to Virginia Tech, but dosen't leave you wondering if were safe? Why do people do such stupid things when they have no motive? I posted this just to tell people and to see what they think about school safty and if gun control should be changed at all as to who are allowed to buy guns and what else could we do.

Well this is what i think i want to see what others think so their you go.

now its been reported one of the injured have died so its up to five dead

Yet another unfortunate event- the reason people do things like this is often beyond our comprehension.

Anyways, I've always liked the idea of making guns illegal (except for people like the police).

Agreed. Some people use guns for stupid reasons like in street races. You shoot a bullet up in the air because you're too damn lazy to even say "ready, set, go!" like you used to do in pre-k and then the bullet ends up falling down at a faster speed, and the next thing you know a random person may die.

Bill of Rights.

[RoastedNoob]

Guns should've never existed. -.- We should all be trained in a weapon of choice, walking around with swords and stuff. That's the world I want. lol

[pntballa18]

Because someone willing to kill would definitely care if guns are illegal or not.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Kids with guns are complete fools. You have to shoot a guy to get your point across? Dude use you FFR skills to Trill his/her/their face in.

Very sad. Moments like this change my usually happy and impulsive exterior serious. Why do tragic things like this always happen? Is there not a smart person in the world anymore? Guns are not good in the wrong hands, airsoft guns on the other hand, are very fun in the wrong hands!
To everyone out there reading this, do not try something like this, it is way worse than you think it's going to be.
GET HELP!!!

[RoastedNoob]

Well, I don't think they'd want to kill so badly they have to leave the country for a gun. They'd just figure out a better way. Like a sword! At least if we were all trained in some form of weaponry, we could defend ourselves. Not like guns where you're like, "hey, I'm way over here and you have no idea. Bang, you're dead." You might get the occasional archer. Actually, a lot of people would probably go archer. lol

A murderer can go get a hunting liscence then use the gun to kill people.

Edit: Wtf Tex has himself sigged twice. GJ

Because I totally have no right to protect my home, which has been burglarized once in the past, right?

Don't turn this into some "guns should be totally outlawed" crap. It is sad that deadly force is sometimes necessary, but loose gun laws that put weapons in the hands of dangerous idiots is no reason to start calling for every responsible citizen to turn in his firearms.

Also, there have been at least a dozen college shootings since the Virginia Tech incident. Where have you guys been?

[Emo_Saur_]

And if ANYONE brings in the fact that you can use guns for protection, STFU, because if we didn't have guns we wouldn't need them for protection.

too late, someone did.

That's what the police/alarm is for. If you still feel like you have to protect yourself why not a tazer or other non-leather alternative to a firearm.

[purebloodtexan]

I don't think that guns should be banned altogether, but limiting what kinds that we can buy seems logical. Keep in mind that if someone breaks into our home and is trying to cause harm, we want to put a bullet in his head before he puts a bullet in ours.

Also, someone can go into school and start knifing people as easily as someone walking in and opening fire with a heavy weapon. There'd still be potential killing.

[stretchypanda]

Because if I'm home the police are definitely going to make it in time.

My alarm goes off for thirty seconds before the alarm company notifies the police.

You never know. I would use a sword! My friend Will, would use a fork. Ha! But anyways, shouldn't chainsaws be outlawed for casual use? I don't know.

Limiting what types we could buy, limiting who can buy, it won't make any difference. Sorry to state the obvious, but if someone is willing to shoot up a school, then I don't think that person would mind doing something else illegal to get hold of a gun.

[fireking550]

Personally i think guns should be controlled more and harder to get, not like they are now, but banning them all together is just plain stupid. People will be able to get guns from other places then stores and such so you can't totally stop them. Making it harder is a alternative to slow them down from getting them. So simply, yes we need new gun laws but not totally banning them.

Also if they really want them y would laws matter? Their so many things people could say, so y does it matter, things happen because they happen, we can't change them.

Then again, why not use a tazer or other non-leather alternative?


@Pureblood: You wouldn't be able to kill as many people with a knife. Knifes are tools therefore banning them would be retarded while guns on the other hand are only useful for killing.
