I think women going to college should carry guns

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.

So, they also require you to be 21 to drink but that has not been a great success has it?

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

Don't take this the wrong way Frazod, 'cause I admire you, but that is the same tired and lame argument everyone in the NRA likes to toss around as dribble.

There's a huge difference between a gun and a steak knife. Here's an example: The bf is sitting next to the gf in the classroom. He pulls out the gun, points it at her head and shoots. He then pulls it on himself. Two people dead before anyone can react appropriately or even know just what the hell had just happened.

Same situation, only the weapon of choice is a steak knife. Bf now has to get out of the chair to approach her with the steak knife and then begins stabbing her. It would take a great many stab wounds to kill her, but more importantly, because he is not able to finish her off immediately, other students in the room can easily pull him off of her, thus saving her life.

That is what gun haters use to defend no guns in our nation: the fact that they are so lethal and can be as easily obtained as a steak knife is.

Wow, you’re buying some damn expensive steak knives with a background check and waiting period.

I don't really see your point. A single stab wound can kill. OTOH, multiple gunshot wounds may only wound, not kill. It all depends on the nature of the wound, the person inflicting the wound, and the victim.

Who's saying anything about background checks for steak knives? I am merely conveying the argument that anti-gun enthusiasts like to use, and that is that guns are lethal and as easy to obtain as a fuggen steak knife.

That's not correct in most places around the country.

Sorry, I thought what I posted was pretty self evident, that guns are a lot more expensive and harder to buy than a "fuggen steak knife".

The only people who give a damn about laws and regulations, are people who already follow them. Criminals are already armed.

A couple of honest people with concealed weapons could have saved a lot of lives over the years, in Luby's restaraunts and any other number of shooting locations.

At least a few of "the good guys" should be armed if they choose, IMO....but I don't know that the average student is ready for the responsibility.

True, but she won't always be on campus...and she might not live on campus. But I do think it's crap that a competent, law abiding citizen is not afforded the right to protect themselves from the law breaking psychos who might want them dead...for whatever reason. I don't care where it is, campus or workplace...

Japan is another country which has very strict gun control coupled with low gun crime rates.

I understand that neither of these country are accurate views compared to your situation because neither country has a constitutional right to own guns. And I completely understand that only lawful citizens would stick to the law, however it seems from my point of view that restricting weapon does not increase weapon death but lowers it.

Balance is the KEY.

Shooters want to take out as many people as they can. They have the advantage.

ARM 'responsible' individuals.
