Opinions are great, aren't they?
I especially like the people who express them thinking, beyond any doubt, that they are true. Reminds me of Christians.
The point is........that there is no point.
Regardless of what you say/do I will continue to think/act the same way, and the same probably goes for all of you.
So why ...[text shortened]... fs? Lest you forget?

Originally posted by zeeblebotYes, the one thing about this that surprised me about this wearily predictable event (apart from Cho's Korean origins) was the way the press have focused on Columbine as the analogy - Blacksburg might have done just as well.

Originally posted by Derfel CadarnYou may be right about that, but outlawing them means only the outlaws have guns. They don't follow those pesky laws about not killing and stealing, why would they follow a law that says to not hold a concealed weapon?
We don't need guns at all. Civilization has survived for thousands of years without them.

Originally posted by Ice ColdGun control can't help because it keeps guns from law-abiding citizens, disabling their right to defend themselves. Criminals will always be able to get guns. I f on e teacher had a gun at VT, there may have been only 5 dead instead of 32.
If a person who can't control his anger kills many, does this mean that those who can should have their freedoms taken away, to make society safe?[/b]
