I think what he is trying to say Oly, is that letting college students carry guns on campuses will increase the murder rate. There are a lot of people who I do not think should be able to carry a gun, but still are eligible. I would be scared out of my mind if a guy in my class carried. Yes, I trust myself with a gun, but its the guy next to me I don't trust.
There is no way this could have been prevented at all....unless someone has the ability to predict the future?..anyone anyone?
Personally flags should have been raised about the kids severe depression and crazy literature. Students should have told faculty that this guy was nuts and that he was skipping out on his meds. That is the only true defense against this.
I do not thing guns in a learning environment is a good idea....unless you are a LEO.
We all have different opinions and that is what makes America...America! Lets not make any kind of personal attacks and just debate the subject. No hard feelings!
