NIU

Apparently no one is going to say anything, so I will.

If law-abiding students had been allowed to carry on school grounds.....

 

Several colleges allow students to carry. They aren't shooting at each other.

A little research will prove that.

Why are schools (colleges) now a target? They are basically "killing fields". Sick individuals KNOW they are unarmed. Easy pickings. Because "for the children" MAKES them easy targets. Why some don't understand this is beyond me.

Also, they say VA Tech is the worst school massacre. No it isn't. Oh, wait, it is the worst GUN massacre (see how this works) in the US, but not the worst.

In 1927, more than 45 children and adults were killed by, imagine this, bombs of dynamite and pyrotol. Dude killed himself with explosives. The rest (500 pounds found around the school) didn't go off.

We are lucky that explosives haven't been used so often.

The morons now choose firearms. The best defense against a firearm is not hiding behind a desk. It is the use of a firearm against the perpetrator.

Once these idiots start getting shot before major damage is done, the less likely the copycats are to try it. Very simple.

If you want to kill lots of people with a gun, don't go where there are lots of guns that will turn on you. Show me the falacies of that.

"An armed society is a polite society." That is FACT. Why? Not because I'm afraid of who has a gun, but because I CARRY a gun, and do my best NOT to get in a situation to use it.

However, in a situation that requires lethal force, I will be somewhat prepared. Doesn't guarantee anything, but my chances are a heck of a lot better at survival than those who aren't armed.

Better to have it and never need it, than to need it not have it.

 

THAT would be really cool! I bet a few haven't ever been to a range and shot any firearms. It actually does change a persons frame of thought. Especially when SAFETY is the ultimate goal.

I have taken my sister shooting....many years ago, and she loved it. But I was very adamant to the safety. We were shooting my .357 Magnum. I would NOT hand her the firearm loaded. The firearm was handed to her with the wheel hanging out, she had to load it. And the "NO finger on the trigger" was explicit until she was aimed and ready to shoot.

Firearm safety is all about common sense. And the main thing...NO FIREARM IS UNLOADED. I don't care if you drop the mag, clear the chamber and show a clear chamber to someone....when they take possession, THEY MUST check the chamber, and STILL act as if the gun is loaded. Just common sense.
