I think women going to college should carry guns - Page 10

The girl who was abducted from her dorm. The hitchhiker who wasn't a college girl but was on a walk by herself.

Now these two coed hatecrime murders.

I'm guessing that it is a recent development for Northern Iowa. When I went to school back in the late 70's at UNO (Nebraska-Omaha) the campus police weren't armed. But they mostly writ parking tickets and did building security at night. UNL had armed police at the time though. I suppose it has more to do with the size of the school.

For what it's worth, I found this link comparing international homicides:

The U.S. has a high gun murder rate, whereas a country like England with strict gun controls has almost no gun murders and a very low murder rate. Doesn't this show that gun control is effective in reducing murder rates? Not exactly. Prior to having any gun controls, England already had a homicide rate much lower than the United States. Japan is another country typically cited.

Gun control opponents can play similar games. The Swiss with 7 million people have hundreds of thousands of fully-automatic rifles in their homes (see GunCite's "Swiss Gun Laws") and the Israelis, until recently, have had easy access to guns (brief summary of Israeli firearms regulations here). Both countries have low homicide rates. Likewise this doesn't mean more guns less crime.

The U.S. has a higher non-gun murder rate than many European country's total murder rates. On the other hand, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Mexico have non-gun murder rates in excess of our total murder rate.

Ah, see at UF they have parking enforcement people who write parking tickets. UPD (University Police Department) does nothing of the sort save for someone parking in a handicap spot, fire lane, etc.

We have a lot of evil gang people in this country. Yeah, most of them are black and latins.

If we preempted and rounded them up then the civil rights bozos would start calling people nazis.

So we wait for them to carjack and kill us one by one.

You are SO right, Dude.

We need to round up about 60 million people of color and dispose of them. That way, the White Man will rule once again!
