NEW GUN LAWS PASSED!

[patrick4588]

you just said yourself the police are useless, and you couldnt see the attack coming. more reason to be prepared. Ever been in a crowded walmart? Nothing different from carrying there. People dont just start shooting randomly. Location has nothing to do with a persons sanity. If you are licensed to carry a gun, where you carry shouldnt matter. There are no imaginary forcefields on property lines that make ppl any less level headed/responsible. These gun free zones simply disarm people like me and leave criminals with the guns. What society would possibly want to take guns away from the good guys and leave the bad guys with them?


Dekalb has 83 School Resource Officers for 99,000 students.
Gwinnett has 22 School Resource Officers for 160,000 students.

The reports for the 2009-10 school year, which include August to February and exclude October, show SROs found 104 weapons on campuses and dealt with 348 assaults, 259 thefts and 63 burglaries.

SRO's estimate thieves stole $374,383 worth of school property, and, the report shows officers arrested 1,037 juveniles and adults, both during and after school.

and thats just over 6 months.

You got a great point, I know how it is to be a college student and be in a town where crime is a serious problem. With that said my concern with the guns/college issue is the chance some dude in college, will show off his brand new .40 cal and one of his pals runs his mouth and next thing you know it either gets stolen or used for reasons other than personal protection. I just want to be sure that guns get into the hands of responsible people. Those mumbers are staggering you put up though I must admit.

why does it matter if s/he is a college student? These laws have nothing to do with students buying guns. It affects ppl like me who have a firearms license and carry everyday; except on campus because i risk a felony and 10yr imprisonment to protect myself. Allowing GFL holders to carry on campus would affect less than 5% of college students. It wouldnt just hand out pistols to everyone. What about the 30yr olds going back to school? or just a 50yr old decidng to further his or her education? These ppl are disarmed too. Ever been to college parties? Most are not on campus so the "everyone will get drunk and shoot each other" is a mute point. There are guns in most households where parties take place anyway, and nobody gets drunk and starts shooting ppl. These stupid laws just disarm ppl like me who want to protect themselves and put me in harms way. Its very frustrating to have my government tell me where my life is important and where i am allowed to protect myself, while they are exempt from these laws and can carry where they want. Most even walk around with security. There are many states who have laws where students properly licensed can carry on campus. No issues. Where students cant carry we have shootings and mass murders. I fail to comprehend how people cant put the pieces together. Criminals are cowards and dont want to face opposition. If their prey could be armed, they wont chance it. Just how most school shootings have the shooter kill themselves once the police arrive. If students were armed, a lot of lives could have been saved at virginia tech.

I hear your point and now I might have to agree....you are so right that these criminals are coward punks, if they thought for a second that the college student they were about to rob was armed it might change their mind because they want easy prey, so I can now understand your point
