St. Mary's College

[Gwydion]

St. marys is too chill of a campus to need anything like guns. Alright, so there was a crime today. Last big crime was when some idiots from....UMCP came down and stabbed one of their own people on our campus. Then somebody from off campus came and broke into about 10 cars and stole all the radios at night while it was raining. Before that it was a "pipe bomb" that turned out to be a torn down light fixture. (I still don't believe that crock of BS but whatever).

The fact is there is no need for guns on the campus. People feel safe at all times. they're all hippies just trying to get a degree. Peace and love man, peace and love.

Any place designated as a "gun free zone" is not only taking chances but INVITING trouble.

I didn't say anything about "gun free zones", I was talking about the lockdown.

so then your proposal would be?

just what i thought, you got NOTHIN'

You'd HATE my proposal. I see no reason to bother expressing my opinion. :shrug:

This is an issue that's almost completely polarized. The only time I've ever seen anybody move from one side of the issue to the other was after a violent event in their life.

Here's to you never switching sides

"Lock down" was lifted.

already had a violent event in my life, thanks, and it certainly wouldn't have been any better if there were more guns involved.

We need unarmed folks like you around. Gives the criminals with guns easy targets.

The event in my life WOULD have turned out better had "more guns been involved."

Again :shrug: I got nothing for ya.



I guess we should just make violence against the law. That ought to fix everything, right? I mean, if it's the LAW...

and how many guns are you carrying? thats what i thought.....

I have plenty at my house, i just realize they aren't going to help you in every situation, and only cause additional problems when they are in the wrong hands, like some idiot who thinks the people of an entire religion should be murdered.

It should. But I guess the SOB that broke into my truck yesterday didn't get the email that breaking a window to get into a locked vehicle that belongs to someone you don't know is kinda against the law...:shrug:

Sounds like you have the "wrong hands". If you can't play with the big boys, stay home. Like I said, glad to have ya out there!! :target:

They should all be murdered.

Its all fun and games until in the heat of the moment somebody fires off 6 rounds that enter a passing schoolbus, instantly killing 6 first graders, and the "bad guy" that stole your son's candy bar got away.

Regardless, as I mentioned earlier, even with given the option at SMCM, I highly doubt more than 5% of the college would actually tote guns around and out of that 5% I bet they would only be carrying guns to a protest about having guns on campus.

If you didn't go to college there, you wouldn't understand.

Furthermore, how would having a gun really solved anything in this situation? You pull out your gun, he pulls out his. One of two options, he shoots you first and you get injured and possibly die, you shoot him first, and he gets injured or possibly dies, both guns are emptied and you shoot the hell out of Kent Hall's dorms, possibly hit somebody sailing on the river, might go into Anne Arrundel and hit a student in there.
Or he gets scared and starts to run away. Then, the person that was getting robbed either shoots the guy in the back because the hispanic guy pissed him off or he goes away.

Instead, with the victim getting robbed, the hispanic jumps in a car, and gets caught by police down the road.

If you didn't go to college there, you wouldn't understand. Cuz we're all dumb rednecks.

Criminals with guns = a cat
Unarmed communities = goldfish in the tank the cat is staring at.

 

[itsbob]

just about as safe as being in a room full of twenty year old's carrying handguns

Why do you assume everyone in college is 20 or younger?

Can off duty cops attend college?

Retired military? Prior service (10 or less years) in the military?

Not all college kids are silly drunkards that don't have the maturity to handle a firearm..

Out of curiosity, when a crime is about to go down with a person with a gun, do they go up to you and ask, "Hey bud, you got a gun?" Or do they just run up and put the gun in your back?

I can understand if all bad guys came up to me, asked politely if I had a gun, I pulled it out, they said thank you and carried about their business, but methinks it doesn't work like that.

And if somebody came up and grabbed your wife, put a gun to her head and said, "Wallet now" would you really pull out a gun and be a hero?

I understand the logic of having guns at home. Somebody breaks into your house, stand there in the hallway with your double barrel shotgun and shoot the #### out of them. But toting a gun around in a public area where there are passerbys and what not? No thanks. FFS, have you seen that video of a cop in that guys car that unloads his entire magazine at point blank range at some criminal? He missed every single shot. Imagine that on a campus. Imagine that in a town. I don't care how far you can shoot and with what accuracy. Cuz I swear to god, I don't care if you are being raped by 10 large men while your car is being stolen and your house is being set on fire. If a stray bullet hits anybody in my family, I will smash your face in while those ten large men hold you down.

And when the radical Muslim hunts you down and your guns are at home, what are you going to do? You don't think he's going to be armed? Of course not, it's against the law.. you know that someone intent on killing you is going to be concerned about illegally carrying a firearm to do it.
