see, in england all a crazy kid can do is try and stab someone and that is rarely that effective as skinny outcast weirdos tend to want to stab their hulking, muscled bullies or PE teachers who then proceed to break their arms. a brief summary of why giving civilians access to firearms is damn stupid; because a good percentage of any population are idiots, and idiots with guns shoot either themselves, their spouses or school children.

well giving firearms to the cilivilans is a bad idea....and it doesnt serve it spurpose..if people would have used their firearms as they should have been used-removing a government that doesnt listen to the people that it would have been more positive than negative..but since they dont its just negative period.

You might as well hand guns out to chimpanzees.

Anyway I think one thread about guns is enough. Especially now that it was OVER 9000 pages long, full of self-righteous speeches and other uninteresting crap.

See, this is why everyone needs to be taught how to use a gun first. That way, they don't waste ammo and only get 2 people.

I agree with ^
I'd say the majority of people are too bad shots to hit a barn, let alone a human pulling a gun in a mall

If my brother and I were in that school that guy would be dead. BigSteve is right if even 10% of the students had guns he would have had one shot mabey two. For some facts a town in sentrall US requires the head of every house hold to own and mantane a gun and as it happens it has one of if not the lowst crime rate of the US.

I am of the believe that if you ban guns, people are still going to get their hands on them, especially if they want to do that sort of damage.

It'll just be harder and more illegal.

Let's just count the problems:
1) A 14(?)-year-old can use a gun
2) A 14-year-old believes he can carry a gun into school without anybody caring (which would probably explain the quality of his spelling)
3) A 14 year old has a gun.
4) He believes he is so good at shooting that he can beat an insane guy with the advantage of suprise and I'd imagine a better gun.
5) He didn't notice BigSteve was being sarcastic
6) He says "for some facts" and proceeds to say something very vague with no backup.
7) He has a brother

Did you really misunderstand Comp1337 that much? Or is that bad sarcasm?
