Default Re: What would you do about Virginia Tech?

What's there to answer? I don't know you personally but if you are the average American then you overestimate your abilities with a gun and all your macho posturing is just that. Simply put, I don't want idiots running around going vigilante because a bad guy + idiots running around chasing a bad guy with guns is more dangerous than one bad guy. Saying that increasing guns would prevent violence makes a lot of assumptions that there's no evidence for, a hell of a lot more assumptions than saying reducing guns would reduce violence.

The news that it appears he purchased the weapons legally is going to be bad news for the pro-gun group, and I'm sure this gun debate will escalate to a nation wide discussion.

But I'm getting sick of people in this thread that keep referencing some kind of "Wild West machismo" or stating the pro-gun position as wanting to physically ARM the citizens. It's not about that. It's about me having the option to defend myself within all the perameters of the law.
