:It's all simpering Liberal nonsense. If those students had ALL been packing heat, one of them could have taken him down before he killed too many people! --[[User:BobD|BobD]] 20:35, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

::Yes. Im sure everyone knows how moody students can be - particually after a breakup. Having lots of readily-available guns anywhere near them is just asking for one to be pulled on impulse. Or for fun. Or to show off. Or stolen. Arming the teachers is a slightly better idea, but there is still to much potential for guns to fall into student hands unless the gun-locker security is made so tight it would be difficult to get the guns out in time if they were actually needed.
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)
