I thank you all for voting. I am quite surprised that most voted saying that "GUN FREE ZONES" are MORE dangerous.
I wonder if most of you read that backwards icon_smile.gif
I should have maybe defined "GUN FREE ZONE" as meaning Guns Are Not Allowed in those zones.
My opinion is obviously that no guns allowed on campus make campus very dangerous, and any bad guy knows that if he/she wants to kill anyone in those areas, there wont be anyone with a gun to stop them until the police arrive.
Id be willing to bet that some students will carry some kind of a weapon on campus after what has recently happened.
It seems that universities are popular among deranged lunatics wishing to take revenge on society.
I am grateful for everyones opinions. Truth is, i did expect these kind of posts on this board.
In the end, your safety and life are no ones responsibility except your own. And i respect everyones opinion on how you choose to do that. I will say that i could never cower and hope for the best if ever confronted by a bad guy in my home or on the street. Statistics show that one has a better chance of surviving an assault by fighting back rather than complying and hoping for the best.
I will always protect myself and my loved ones, if that means putting a bullet in someone to stop them from killing me, then that is what i will do.
No hard feelings guys and gals. Take care icon_smile.gif
For you the argument is settled right: Jews shoot Arabs as they please to "defend" themselves so for you it's logical that everyone on a university campus should be wearing a gun, just in case. The use of this very example proves that you're a racist right-wing gun-toting brainwasher in support of everything that's wrong in your country.
It's people like you with their atavistic Texan mentalities, shining images of Jewish glory (a religion that installed violence as an elementary right 1500 years before Islam came up and has never adapted to any culture anywhere ever since) together with ueber-fascist power-rules-all ideas that have rushed this planet straight into another World War.
I don't know if you're going to wake up to this elementary piece of logic one day but it's too late anyway. We all have to thank you for that. You personally because you have let that dog of president loose on the rest of the planet.
The only country that has used nuclear, chemical and biological weapons until now is your own and we all know why. For precisely the same fact: you are very very SCARED, scared to die and scared to live, for a good reason: you are a danger to each other. You're people living among strangers come from God knows where, run out of Indians to kill and looking for more, the thrill of the kill. Do you wear a stetson in your car too, cowboy? Your "loved ones" are the silly little excuse to carry a gun to make war instead of a dick to make love, giving yourselves the right to put a bullet between the eyes of someone who ...steals your car, your girlfriend, your companies' oil. And you're proud of this "logic", accepting that others haven't seen the light yet. Thank you again.
You talk about some unknown, potential danger, whether it's Iran or your local gone-crazy neighbor, but for most of us you and your country are the clear and present danger.
Although MOST of the posters were in opposition to my opinion, let me say that this guy got flamed big time after this post as a racist, etc. etc.
He is also on the verge of being banned from what i understand.
Anyway, i wanted you guys/gals to see the mindset of how some see us over on the otherside of the big pond :)
