The professors should be allowed to apply for a Concealed Carry Permit to carry a gun into the classrooms. That will be a deterrent for wierdos like this douchbag cho from going psycho in "Gun Free Zones". More like victim zones.

How many shootings have you seen at an NRA meeting?...

The National Guard is not the "Militia". It is a part of the U.S. Army, and connected to the Federal Government.

Gun Ownership is the first right to be stripped in most countries when a dictator takes over...

its a stupid discussion, because if u wanna kill someone you can get a gun at the black market and start a shooting, so banning weapons wont change anything

I guess that woman forgot that a Militia isnt the national guard, but a group of commong people, farmers even, who band together for a cause to fight for

Stupid lady "A well regulated militia, being necissary for the security of a free state, the right of THE PEOPLE to keep an bear arms shall not be infringed."

Cho killed so many people because there was no one to stop him, not because guns were easy to get.

That dumb bitch at the end must have completely ignored the second half of the 2nd Ammendment where it CLEARLY STATES that the PEOPLE have the to arms...that's right, the militia AND the people.

[cassidy99ful]

the supreme court disagrees with you miss handgun control.

[tippboi1987]

damn right other countries are afraid to trust the people with arms, all you have 2 look at is america and there right 2 own guns and see why those countries are afraid.. some people shouldn't be trusted 2 own a gun and 2 fucking right. why would you see a shooting at a gun show anyways? would you be stupid enough 2 shot someone where all other people have guns there? idiot. guns are not allowed in schools for a reason and its kinda obvious as why there not.

damn gooks still sick in nature. ever see deer hunter?

[BBmyQ]

No, it wont. The black market isnt a place you got to and use a shoppuing cart and buy illegal weapons, its from local illeagel dealers and merchants who smuggle goods.

You sir, are a fucktard.

[BBmyQ]

its fucking up the country? are you high?

You sir, are a fucktard.

[booza24]

what a dumb bitch, she obviously does not know the constitution...yes it says a "well regulated militia" but she left of the rest of it. for those of you who are wondering, i have listed it below, the girls left of the part about the "right of the people" which has nothing to do with the militia.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. "
