:::Another person I knew worked at a restaurant/bar/place I went to every Monday night to see this great band they used to get.  he was a line cook.  he bought, I think, a 9mm thingie.  he used to swing it around, play with it drunk.  he, i guess made a mistake.  he pointed it at this other guy who worked there after hours one night and pulled the trigger thing.  '''BANG''' the other guy is dead.  he's dead.  he willnever get to knwo any of things that we idly type about this night or any other.  the dumbass guy with the gun who didn't know how to handle it (not drunk!) is in jail.  ok, that's my story, no caps on purpose due to the sadness of these things.  i don't have any stories of '''HEROES''' with guns killing crazy people.  just two dead guys.

When considering this, the most important question is a comparison: Would the number of lives saved by reducing the severity of crazy shoters be greater than the number of lives lost to increased rates of gun-related accidents or abuse? I would guess no - student breakdowns like the VT incident are very rare, while cases of student stupidity are not. - [[User:Suricou|Suricou]]

:And I thought we ''had'' that discussion after Columbine.  I've seen on this site alone what strange things people think about weapons of personal destruction (see above) Maybe '''next time'''? [[User:Human|Human]] 20:41, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
