    Because if I'm home the police are definitely going to make it in time.

    My alarm goes off for thirty seconds before the alarm company notifies the police.

You might get the occasional archer. Actually, a lot of people would probably go archer. lol
      You never know. I would use a sword! My friend Will, would use a fork. Ha! But anyways, shouldn't chainsaws be outlawed for casual use? I don't know.

        Limiting what types we could buy, limiting who can buy, it won't make any difference. Sorry to state the obvious, but if someone is willing to shoot up a school, then I don't think that person would mind doing something else illegal to get hold of a gun.

          Personally i think guns should be controlled more and harder to get, not like they are now, but banning them all together is just plain stupid. People will be able to get guns from other places then stores and such so you can't totally stop them. Making it harder is a alternative to slow them down from getting them. So simply, yes we need new gun laws but not totally banning them.

          Also if they really want them y would laws matter? Their so many things people could say, so y does it matter, things happen because they happen, we can't change them.

            Then again, why not use a tazer or other non-leather alternative?


            @Pureblood: You wouldn't be able to kill as many people with a knife. Knifes are tools therefore banning them would be retarded while guns on the other hand are only useful for killing.

                So by the same token, take away butter knives, forks, TV's, lamps, cups, baseball bats, hockey sticks, skateboards, video game consoles, and vases as well? Those can kill people, too.

                As a matter of fact, our hands can kill as well. I think we'd better chop them off.

                @Fido: So when a man walks into my house unannounced and brings a gun inside, I'll just simply run to the kitchen (which is on the other side of the house) and take my knife, and do what from there? Throw it at him, and hope that it hits him in one shot? Try to use my half-ass ninja skills and stab him at close range? Why don't I just put a bullseye on my forehead when I'm home alone?

                    You should obviously barricade yourself in a room (which you should do if you have a gun anyway) and have a non-leather ranged weapon. You should also have a phone in your bedroom for this reason.

                      You should get my point: There are many things on your property that are efficiently lethal. That doesn't mean that we should ban them.

                      Also, sarcasm tends to be effective, so I use it often.

                      @Fido: Sure, a barricaded room. If you don't mean a complete bedroom fortress, then surely the attacker can't shoot through the lock, or even bust down the door with brute force.

                      Trust me, guns are necessary. Although they're often used for the wrong reasons, we'd be in even more trouble without them.

                      Also, Fido, you're a complete idiot if you don't think that (at least behind projectile weapons) knives are effective.

                        I never said guns should be banned! Guns are important! I was just responding to RoastedNoob saying what weapon I would use is guns WERE banned.
                        Get the picture?

                          From certain standpoints it could be, taking into account that a person, whoever they may be, took it upon themselves to harm whomever they wished. In a school. Just because less people were killed/injured (so far, at least) shouldn't be seen as insignificant in comparison to something like VTech.

                            @Pureblood: Robbers don't usually break and enter to kill you, they just want to get in and grab as much crap as they can before running out. If by chance the robber is retarded enough to break into your room, a tazer or blunt weapon would probably give you as much a chance of living with a gun.

                            (sorry, lagging like a beast atm)

                              Guns shouldn't be banned. They should have never existed. Guns should be destroyed. We had a perfectly fine, nearly balanced weapon set in the past. A few "top tier" weapons, such as a the bow and spear/polearm... but at least no one was at a true disadvantage in that time. Most everyone was trained in some sort of self-defense. Guns made everything stupid. It's way too damn easy to kill people now. They auto-win anyone that uses one. The only way to beat a gun is a gun or a lightsaber. There was no overpowered weapon in the medieval days. Sigh.. I wish I was born back in those days.


                              Scroll two posts down for the tier list thanks to Relambrien. Hehe ^-^
