The School Massacre Could Have Been Diverted (oh the irony)

[p0ink]

Although I agree with guns & carry permits, I have to disagree with having guns on campus. College kids do stupid things, have crazy parties, drink excessively, and have too many emotions concerning relationships to be stable enough for firearms.

ok, bogus argument.

a. you have to be 21
b. no alcohol is served in the classrooms
c. the majority of parties are off campus, where there are no firearm restrictions (and it's not the OK corral, is it?)
4. the majority of fights happen off campus

The shooter did legally purchase the gun.

Va is one of the most lax states in the US regarding gun control.

HE STILL CANNOT CARRY WITHOUT A PERMIT. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

we have gone over this about 100 times now, on several different threads, but yet you keep parroting the same stupid thing.

The only scenario I can see letting an 18 year old have a gun is through the military in which is being "supervised" by an adult, LOL

Letting an 18 year old as a private citizen possess a gun and letting him carry it on a college campus aside from the security of that college or university is just ridiculously

Ummm...he isn't allowed to KILL PEOPLE either.

By the way, this is the law in CCW law in Va. Get it straight.

CCW LIMITS
May police limit carrying concealed handguns? No

State law forces police chiefs and state sheriffs to give concealed carry permits (CCW) to anyone who can buy a handgun, allowing them to carry loaded, concealed handguns in public (known as ?shall issue?). Police may not even require safety training in the legal or safe use of weapons for CCW applicants. State law allows residents of some other states to carry concealed weapons in this state without informing local police.

yes, it is a 'shall issue state', which means the state must issue the license to anyone who is eligible to have one, unlike places like new york, where it is only reserved for the wealthy, elite.

and the anti-gun people at the brady campaign are going to do everything to spin things to make it look worse.

go here, it will show you what is required, by state law, as to what a person must do to get a permit.

we are not talking in the military setting, we are talking about private citizens carrying guns.

 

[gjohnson5]

Correct,
So the common age one leaves high school and enters college is what age?

18, right?

So you support 18 year olds having guns so that all students can be armed, right???

we are not talking in the military setting, we are talking about private citizens carrying guns.
