I personally believe that Obama would like to ban all guns. That's one man's opinion. Agree or disagree, it won't bother me.

My thoughts on the best way to prevent tragedies such as this is to arm school personnel. Earlier news articles said the principal was shot while chasing after the gunman. If she had been armed, she might have had a chance to stop this before it ever got started. Front office staff, janitorial staff, some teachers, properly trained on safely using a firearm would make a difference.

If a certain professor at Virginia Tech had been armed, how many lives would have been saved? I think many.

Think about it. And remember Kennesaw Georgia that required all houses to have a gun. Crime dropped to -0-. Who wants to break in a house when you know the homeowner has a gun.

Towns down the road from Kennesaw saw an increase in crime. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

We are turning into a socialist country. We want the government to tell us what we can, cannot, have or do more and more everyday.Just hold on it wont be long now and you will wake up one day and what happen to AMERICA.

Gun control does not mean disarmament! That's why we can't stand you people. Everything has to spell DOOM!! Do you really think the gov't would ban all guns???? Have some sense!!!

brianwilson1032: "Why is it crazy to have armed staffed that have had training to save lives."

The absurdity of this statement cannot be grasped by those that have the second amendment drilled into their heads all their lives. From the outside world looking in, all we can do is shake our heads.

"Same reason I risk being hit by an intoxicated driver or someone on their cell phone. Because we don't have a choice. How's that. Try Excepting reality. No one can control every situation and to think so is infantile. Waking up every day is a risk. Life is full of risks and if you cannot handle it don’t look to others to make concessions because of your inability to handle reality."

Best comment I have read today...

Give the government and inch, and they'll take a mile. That's what I'm afraid of in all of this. If they end up banning all guns, then I guess I'm going to have to join the criminal element in the country, because I'm not going to hand over my few guns that I paid for legally, and sit here with my family and be a sitting duck for some crazed lunatic to come thru my back door. Period! End of story!!!!

"And why should we risk your hobby killing our kids when "God" tells you to shoot them?" Grand Union

That's a really big if. Why don't we just give up all of our freedoms so that we can eliminate all of the variables? That's really what you are advocating for.

Well Said,,,

"Right...tell your story to the people of Mexico (or almost any Central American country)...you know the ones where law abiding citizens are prohibited from owning any kind of gun BUT the drug cartels/criminals are better armed than the police or military."

We are not Mexico. Mexico has a virtually nonexistent government that happens to be in the middle of a drug war. A better example would be virtually all modern day industrialized nations.
