Another school shooting.... What is going on?!?!

Just have everyone wear a bullet proof vest. The only thing you'll mostly get is a nice bruise.

Yes, because kevlar isn't expensive and impractical or anything.

On another note, the Westboro Baptist Church intends to picket protest the funerals of the victims. I'm not going to get into my opinions on the ****ers, but now you know.

Torso shots aren't the only fatalities. You know good and well that headshots can easily be dealt, but any other major section of the body can cause a fatality. A prime example is Corporal James Smith Jr. who participated in The Battle of Mogadishu. He took a shot to the leg and severed an artery. He eventually bled to death.

Hell, a former goalkeeper for the Spanish National Soccer Team severed an artery in his foot after dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot. Although he survived, he had to miss the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Are you going to pay $2000 for everyone that wants one of these jackets?

And I rest my case: Wounds aren't just confined to the torso.

Guns have a good use but have been allowed to get into the hands of dangerous people too easily. As long as there are crazy people out there they will find a way to get attention at any cost.

Man, we are just going in loops here. But now my turn again to pitch in. Guns are dangerous and in the wrong hands are even more dangerous, but they are also very handy for self defence and other good reasons, even though a non-leathal weapon is much more called for, if certain situations arise, we should be armed. Guns are good, and bad, at the same time, and no matter how much time you look from each perspective, it will just lead you back to another one.
Case closed! (Or is it?)

Essentially the conclusion that we came to.

Nowadays, most school shooting is caused by people who want to beat the number of deaths that the two guys did in Colombine University. I also heard a rumor that a company was going to make a game based on the Colombine massacare.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were lawsuits.

That's what the police/alarm is for. If you still feel like you have to protect yourself why not a tazer or other non-leather alternative to a firearm.

Maybe some people can't afford it. Maybe the cops can't get there on time.

And lets say guns were illegal. Do you think that's gonna keep criminals from getting their hands on guns? Crack is illegal but drug dealers and crack heads still get it. Don't be an idiot. Liberal.

Go to China in the mid-800s AD and steal and destroy their gun powder.

Indeed. Yes it is! That was kinda the pont. A re-cap if you must.

"Threatening Note" was found at some college in NJ, today. School was on lock down, SWAT showed up and everything.
