I think if you need armed students on campus to stop campus gunmen, you have a larger problem on your hands than just a weapon's issue. Don't you?

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterIs it really a weapon? or just limited perspective? If 'the media' doesn't tell you what you want to hear, that's no reason to think that 'the media' is intentionally suppressing information. Perhaps the problem has more to do with competing definitions of what 'news' is.

1) Nobody should have any guns no matter what (Rabid Liberal Democrat); or
2) Guns should be allowed everywhere by everyone (Rabid Conservative Republican).
I'm both in favor of personal responsibility and the regulation of things that can be potentially
dangerous to other people. I fall somewhere between 1 and 2.
So, where's the fair compromise? Where's the fair solution? Arming everyone is just as stupid
as disarming everyone.
Instead of pointing out how stupid one extreme is (the one associated with individuals you
clearly have a gripe with), why don't you offer a solution or two (or at the very least point out
the stupidity of the other extreme)?

Say what? Where are all these suppressed examples?
Oh yeah I forgot, they were suppressed!
