NIU Shooting

[Alter]

My friend's sister was in one of those classes, I think, Lucky she is studying in Europe now.

Woa...lucky break.

It's so selfish and pointless to do stuff like this. Can't imagine how doing something like this could make sense to someone.

People have got to stop listening to Marilyn Manson.

btw, american people shouldn't have so many weapons, cuz they aren't ready to have one

I'm glad that none of my friends there were in danger.

It's hard to understand why people choose a college for this (aside from the opportunity to shoot lots of people concentrated in one place). It's not like high school where you pretty much have to stay, and many people don't have options. There's very little keeping you from leaving a college that really pisses you off. Institutional elements aren't as pervasive as in high school.

I remember debate on this issue not being super productive last time. I'm sure that in the next few days some new details will come out.

Eventually there will be enough such killers that it will be possible to define the type more accurately.

LOL

If anything, everyone should be armed.

That's two mass killings in 2 weeks within 300 miles of where I live.

You should totally move...You're not safe there!

Totally. Nothing makes gun deaths more unlikely than everyone having guns

I fucking agree. Everyone should be required very through gun safety classes in high school and those who have a felony free criminal record should be allowed to carry guns everywhere. Poof. No more shootings. Who is going to try to go on a rampage with everyone around him/her armed?

 

[cookiecutter]

That's fucking retarded. The guy who did this bought guns completely legally and had background checks done on him and that didn't stop him from killing 6 people. People who go on rampages do not think rationally enough to want to stop if they know someone else might have a gun. All it does is make lethal weapons available to people, and we all know people are horrible and stupid and irrational.

 

[Ender Rises]

OK, say some nutjob does decide to go on a rampage? What happens then? He gets fucking shot. Two people die at most. And rampages like this, while they do happen, don't happen three or four times a fucking year. So that's 2 or 4 deaths a year compared to this happening three or four times a year with 6 to ten deaths each time. 18-40 deaths.

I'm just talking about things like school shootings.

Another idea is to just install metal detectors at every large public place, from schools to malls. Honestly I think this would be more effective.

However, I still stick by my argument.

 

[Bothering]

However, I still stick by my argument.

I thought you were being sarcastic...wow.

 

[panzerfaust666]

same here...wow ender...

 

[black blood]

All these school shootings make me feel better about droping out of college

 

[Ender Rises]

They scare the shit outta me, I'm trying to become a teacher. I guess that's why I feel so strongly about it.

My first idea will never happen, and maybe that's for the best, but the metal detectors idea can and should happen.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

This sort of thing happening so often makes me really disappointed in my country. I hate that.

Lets not do this sort of thing anymore. Plz k thx.

Illinois sucks. 48 other states cant be wrong. Illinois and Wisconsin can eat a dick with these stupid laws. Fucking libs
