Looks like I picked the wrong year to go to Virginia Tech.

consider the ethical side of it also:
Owning a firearm is not a right; however once a person possesses one, that person has an ethical responsibility to not misuse it. This is the most important aspect of all.
Consider that you own a firearm. You, or those near you that can access the firearm, have the power to use deadly force against other human beings. You will probably never think of doing it, but the potential is there from the moment that the firearm enters your possession.
I feel like invoking Platonis Respublica 331a-332b where there is the discussion of withholding a weapon of a friend who is not of sound mind, but I don't think I could make a fitting enough analogy. Indefinite person withholding weapons to the government and the person of unsound mind to the uneducated populace, perhaps. I won't bother to flesh the rest out though.

Oh, for the record. I have access to over 10 guns in my home and I know how to use every single one of them. Don't put me in the catagory of a weapon-hater, but the the gun wavers are the ones that need to be shot.

You demonstrate the education and moral character necessary to own a firearm well.

A couple things...
The first shooting was "simply" a murder, wasn't it? If there was no indication it was the beginning of a spree, why would they shut the place down for what looks like an isolated incident? I live in a town of 50000. If somebody is murdered in their home, a lockdown of the city wouldn't be called for.
And this school was a "gun free" zone... maybe students (or faculty... all adults, mind you) carrying guns wouldn't have helped... but it might have. I think gunmen might have problems taking cooperative hostages after this though.

my friend, if those are your clips, they are not identical. i suggest something else if you wish to reduce your loading times/efficiency/reliability (tracking looks a hair off even with perspective in mind?) :Smug: that or take a proper picture of your shit. to think all of us don't appreciate arms is moronic.

can someone explain why everyone's decided to prey on krig in light of this news, with no other apparent reason apart for the fact that he likes guns?
