Yeah, and then they are allowed to commit smaller crimes that outside the university are punished ? I have lived in two cities with large unversities and in neither there have been "special rules" for university attendants.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

His ability to murder people is already curtailed. That is already illegal. He also acquired guns illegally. In order to murder people, which is illegal. Moreover he brought guns onto a school campus, which is illegal. He violated the law three times. Clearly if only there were four laws being violated this would never have happened.Originally posted by ricketyclik View PostComment

There are no special rules. The police are just trained to deal with youth instead, and look the other way for things like underage drinking.Originally posted by BlackCat View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Also @ricketyclik, as a gun owner, I'm not going to give up my right to own guns for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense just because some ******* in another state committed a crime that doesn't involve me in any way whatsoever. I have never shot anyone with any of my guns, and I don't anticipate anyone ever shooting someone with my guns. American society is not built upon people giving up their freedom over unrelated actions by other people.Comment

Nope, that isn't illegal. If it was, every owner of a gun, knife ... you name it would be guilty.Originally posted by regexcellent View Post
Problem isn't that he accuired them "illegally" - problem is that there was easy acces to them.He also acquired guns illegally. In order to murder people, which is illegal.

...um, are you saying that everyone who has ever owned a gun or a knife has murdered someone? Or are you just not very fluent in English?Originally posted by BlackCat View PostComment

What about the little lambs that he would have produced raping the sheep if he had ben welshOriginally posted by MOBIUSIf he had been Welsh, he wouldn't have had access to guns and probably raped a sheep instead.
Moral of the story: no one would have died!

Let me rephrase: Very few guns start their lives as illegal guns.Originally posted by Felch View PostComment

It would have been substantially more curtailed if he didn't have access to guns.Originally posted by regexcellent View PostComment

I assume this is also true for the killer's mother.Originally posted by regexcellent View Post
Clearly not. But is it unrelated? That's the whole point: many guns within a community = more murders.Originally posted by regexcellent View Post
What if I argued that I should be able to travel down the road at 100 mph because I've done so many times without killing anyone? Just because someone else did it doesn't mean it'll happen to me.Comment
