IDBillzFan Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 one of the articles I read pointed out that this campus is a gun-free zone.....sad They probably needed a bigger sign. Water pistols. The Boy Scouts recently banned a number of items now considered weapons including, I kid you not...water balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If water balloons are considered weapons some of the things we threw at each other as kids would be considered WMD's today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Water pistols. And dangerous chemicals. Because you might be carrying a water pistol full of bleach, and if they catch you you're in for a REALLY strong talking-to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) As someone who was totally ambivalent re guns, I see another mass shooting and it sways me to extreme gun control. No other country in the world has this same problem. Actually all countries face the same problems. Some face worst problems like terrorists taking control of their city.

No other country in the world has this same problem. As someone who grew up around guns (my father was a cop) I see another mass shooting and it always sways me to wonder why so many asshats are so quick to lay blame on an inanimate object.

The Dean Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I really don't care about guns, one way or the other. Obviously some of you do, and I respect your opinions. But there is credible research showing a strong statistical correlation between mass shootings and gun ownership. The proliferation of guns clearly results in more gun deaths. I'm not sure that is even an issue in a situation like this. Incidents like this, aren't the argument against (or for) guns, IMO. Freaks who want to kill can always get their hands on guns. Yes it is easier in the US than in other countries, but let's be honest here--these idiots can get guns just about anywhere. The idea that others having guns in these situations is also idiotic, IMO. Maybe someone else with a gun stops this idiot. Maybe they contribute to the killing. But, in general, guns produce gun-related deaths. Many by accident or unintentional use. The issues are quite complex. My personal belief is one that supports the 2nd amendment, but with some reservations. But to make these horrendous events a political issue, for either side in the gun debate, seems a bit over the top to me. There are real issues, outside of these events, to consider. IMO these everyday issues are more important, and don't rely on the vitriol attached to these kind of events.
