QUOTE(allmebaby @ Apr 16 2007, 04:23 PM) I just can't understand why it is not safe to get an education anywhere. Junior high, Senior highs, colleges. WTF??? also the shooting started at a dorm building then 2 hours later he started shooting people at a building across campus. Why in the hell did it take 2 hours for something to be done. people should have been notified immediately what the hell.

QUOTE(allmebaby @ Apr 16 2007, 04:17 PM) Man this is a fucked up tragedy. 32 people dead and more injured. What is wrong with people today? I don't understand the need to have guns like people do anymore!!!!! It is getting ridiculous!! It doesn't matter if you are at school, the mall, the street or what, some fucked up individual has to go out and shoot innocent people!!! I can understand the cops with guns, or if you are hunting game..........but nobody else really needs to have a gun anymore!! This isn't the 'wild, wild west' afterall, we are supposed to be civilized!!! I don't get it.

QUOTE(Gnappster @ Apr 16 2007, 04:59 PM) some messed up shit to say the least. it's one thing to off youself, but to try and take that many others with you. baffling and sad. It's especially sad that there was a two hour span between shootings and it got to the point that it did where 30+ people have lost their lives, and all the shooter was looking for was his girlfriend, just baffles the mind that someone can sink to that level to want to take not only his own life but that of over 30 others just for his suffering. Thoughts and prayers all to those at VA Tech and their families, definitely will be a day forever etched in history.

What a sad stupid act, and from what I gather from the media he took the cowardly way out and killed himself. Personaly I think they should now take his body and hang it in the public square and let the birds pick his corpse to the bones. Maybe that would discourage any wannabe copycats to think again. On the gun issue and I do believe in the right to bear arms (i know this is 'overstated?') People kill People guns don't. There are lots of ways to kill other than with guns, thank god he didn't just throw pipe bombs into each classroom as he passed. What if a few of those people were packing guns themselves? A person may think twice if they think someone might shoot back. It was just a sad senseless cowardly act and my thoughts go out to all the families.

My prayers to the friends, familys and loved ones of any there or that it has touched , it is a sad day for the world when something like this happens .. Its just pisses me off that the media is doing what there doing , and that the guy offed himself thats a much to easy way out , he should have been made to spend some time alone with the familys of those that lost there lives , Those victim impact statements stay with a person beyound anybody comprehension , and he deserved some serious beating for what he did and how he did it ..
Prayers to all .

QUOTE(allmebaby @ Apr 16 2007, 04:17 PM) Man this is a fucked up tragedy. 32 people dead and more injured. What is wrong with people today? It is a tragedy of monumental proportions that is for damn sure. In Australia this fits in the "Only in America" category! I hate to say it but the precious constitution has to change the part whereby every citizen has the right to bare arms! The constitution was written what, 200, 300 years ago? The reason this little piece was included was to protect citizens againsnt violent attacks from Natives! In Australia in 1996 we had a nutcase lose his mind and shoot dead over 30 people just walking down the main road of a place called Port Arthur in Tasmania. Some were walking, some were dining in cafes or running everyday errons. Thos guy randomly shot and killed dozens of people. As a consequence we had a firearm amnesty in Australia and we tightened the laws to the extreme. No law abiding person owns a gun unless the are in a hunting club or in the amred services, police, security etc. Sure the criminals still get their guns from the black market but it has stopped Crazy John Citizen from picking up a gun at the local store and shooting whoever the fuck he likes. It is time for the USA to step into the new millenium

QUOTE(bondiguy @ Apr 18 2007, 12:41 AM) I dont know what state Virginia Tech is in but I hear that city has next to no gun laws. No background checks No waiting periods No registration needed on firearm purchases??? Someone can buy a gun anyday of the week? ![coco.gif](style_emoticons/default/coco.gif) I guess Virginia is one of the only states left with next to no gun laws. You'd think we would have learned something by now

You Don't Know Me, and I Have a Gun! You don't know me, or maybe you just don't know that you do. I am your neighbor, doctor, clergyman, nurse or just another nameless, faceless stranger in the crowd. I have a state authorized, court issued permit to carry a concealed handgun. I do so whenever possible. Though you don't know me, there are a few things you should know about me. In my case, I was fingerprinted by the local police for an FBI criminal background check. Before that, I had to pass state and local background checks. I had to present evidence to the court of approved training in firearms laws, safety and marksmanship before my application would even be accepted. I am not a felon, junkie, drug dealer, stalker or even a shoplifter since any number of indiscretions including alcohol or other drug abuse or even simple assault or a restraining order would disqualify me from holding a permit. My classroom training covered when it is appropriate and legal to even indicate that I have a gun, much less display it or actually use deadly force. Doing so in any circumstance, under which I am not in immediate fear for my life or the life of another, would mean more than the loss of my permit. Most likely, I would also be charged with brandishing a weapon, disorderly conduct and/or assault. If it was determined that my use of deadly force was not to protect a life in immediate danger, I would probably be charged with second-degree murder or first-degree manslaughter. On top of these, I would also face civil liability. Like most people who legally carry concealed handguns, I practice regularly at a range. I am well aware of the laws and regulations affecting me. My fellow permit holders and I are generally more well trained and practiced than many law enforcement officers. I am not a non-resident alien. I am a good citizen, and I vote. I am aware of the responsibility I bear, and I will walk or run away rather than risk confrontation. I will retreat as fast and as far as possible. I always avoid conflict. I know that should a situation escalate, I could be identified as the instigator and face losing my right to carry, or worse. Should the need arise, however, I will act swiftly, intelligently and decisively to protect my life and the lives of those around me Are you still afraid of me? In my home state of Virginia, not one permit holder has been convicted of a violent gun crime despite more than 110,000 issued permits. Throughout the entire United States, no police officer has been injured by a person with a legal handgun. A number have, however, been assisted and even rescued by armed, law abiding citizens. You should feel a degree of comfort knowing that there may be someone nearby with means, motive and training to possibly save your life, or that of those around you. Criminals, on the other hand, should feel fear. They never know if their next intended victim may armed, trained, and ready to effectively defend themselves. If you feel safer patronizing establishments with a NO GUNS ALLOWED policy, please keep in mind that the criminals don't obey the signs or the laws. That is why we call them criminals. Criminals know that the law-abiding customers of that establishment are easy prey, and will have little to no fear of the consequences of their actions. The hallways and parking lots of these establishments might just as well post a sign saying...

ehhh ![sad.gif](style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I don't want to get into politics or anything, but I think it was kinda generalized and quick to assume that by talking about gun control we were saying that there shouldn't be guns at all. I'm glad that they make things so strict for people to get guns... seems like the only way you'd go through with that is if you were legit. Do I think it stops everyone? No. Do I think it helps? Yes. I think it's sad that people are going to use this to push their own political agendas on either side. Ps: "Guns dont kill people, people kill people" What about those stories you hear about kids showing their parents guns to friends, or playing with it themselves and getting killed? ... Just curious
