Another School Shooting (Virginia Tech)

[Kuciwalker]

You have the Palestinians to take it out on.

Also, Israel is about 2% the size of the United States. Of course this sort of thing doesn't happen as often.

I guess it's better to allow school shootings to continue then. If everyone carried a gun, you'd see crime and incidents like this drop to near nothing. Nobody is going to want to do anything if everyone has a gun.

How many school shootings do you think there are? How seldom do you believe college kids do stupid ****? This isn't complicated math.

[Kuciwalker]

Drunk kids + widely available firearms = bad.

That reminds me of a story I heard at my highschool.

Generally when drunk people shoot at eachother (because they are drunk), they aren't trying to hit.

I was very sad to hear about this. After the shooting in Montreal this past year, I hate to hear about this **** more than ever.

as for every student carrying a gun, I figure once the 1 madman starts shooting, everyone starts shooting, and you lose track of who the madman is. That sounds worse to me.

[Jon Miller]

Yeah, this does really make me sad btw.

I went to Tech, this is horrible. At least all of my friends still in Blacksburg are safe. I heard it was possibly tyhe worst college ever (and the worst in 40 years).

It's not what happens in Israel whenever some terrorist starts shooting indiscriminately...

To be quite honest, I think that the "right to bear arms" has got little to do with this shooting. It's just stupid american culture, or one of it's youth subcultures ( I wonder which one's going to play the role of the retarded cousin that everyone's ashemed of this time )

I think Israel is a prime case of people in the ages 18-21 going around with plenty of guns, and almost never going on murderous rampages.

Trained in proper gun usage, used to military discipline (even if of the more informal IDF variety), and, besides that, still subject to be washed out of the IDF for mental problems, no?

I dont think the situation is quite analogous.

29 now.

[korn469]

Apoc where did you here 29?

[Ben Kenobi]

Worse then Columbine.

My heart goes out to those killed and injured as well as their families which will be shattered.

I can't imagine how I would feel if my old highschool had a shooter there right now, or what any of these families are going to go through.

Is it an important university?

Maybe they should put metal detectors on schools and universities, it is for sure better than everybody carrying guns

[korn469]

It's one of the largest Universities in Virginia

According to cnn, they were executed, the guy put them all in a row, and shot them one by one
