"The students and faculty were barricading themselves in their classrooms after what one person described as an Asian student wearing a vest opened fire."

whether or not some person legally purchased a gun is a moot point. the fact is, they banned firearms on campus, so how could such a thing possibly happen if all guns were banned?

OMG, there's a girl in the guy's bathroom! How could she have gotten there! It's the guy's bathroom!

Dude, anyone can do something illegally, I don't know why you're begging the question here.

Yeah. I can't imagine a better way to prove a point than to use a slippery slope argument.

she/he could be having gender identification issues, and it would sexist and homophobic of you to question her motives as to why she is in there.

LOL, they're talking gun control over on the law board now. Poink must've gone over there.

No, she'd just get cited by the UP for being drunk and in the wrong bathroom, lol. Happens all the time.

maybe the gaddam ostriches of the world need to take their fucking heads out of the sand. take your earphones out and pay attention to your surroundings. people have zero survival skills. stupid crackers. gunshots = duck & run. it's that simple.

Assault rifles shooting 5.56 NATO rounds actually have manageable recoil -- they're basically .22 caliber rounds. However, the velocity and round fragmentation within the body make a bullet in the chest pretty much fatal without body armor. The M-16 can effectively engage targets at 300M, so walking into a classroom filled with targets at less than 10 M is going to be a slaughter, especially if the seats are all level and not theatre-style. A bullet that misses the first row will keep going and tear the head of some poor guy in the last row.

And the feds probably took their sweet ass time before entering the building to render aid to the victims.

lol
