yeah, because all of that is totally realistic...oh wait
I love how people who don't own guns think that the second you get one you need/want to kill someone. get a fucking clue.
Please don't ignore the fact that there are people who would do just that.
And please remember, that you usually start college roundabout the 20 year old mark. You are still quite immature, you're still easily provoked.
Please don't tell me there's the slightest possibility someone will get really angry and take out their gun to shot someone, rather than punching them in the face?
Come on, don't ignore it. Most people won't do it, the overwhelming majority won't. The EXTREME majority won't. But there might just be that one student who does it.
Even if there's small possibilities of controling that no one takes a gun on campus, the fact that it is prohibited, means that QUITE A LOT of people won't take them to school.
Yes, there is a slight possibility that someone might have stopped the slaughter if they had a gun. How many campuses experiences masacres every year? At most, maybe two-three, normally less, I think?
How many colleges, high schools, universities and other educational institutions are there? The chance of something like that happening isn't all that big, and arming students won't make any difference in 99,9999 percent of the time, if you get my point.
I won't argue that the US of A should ban all handguns, firstly, I know that won't happen, secondly, it might not make any difference, since there's so many guns lying around.
But schools and guns do not match.
