"I think people with the consensus that less guns equals a safer environment and that people who get permits are unstable and have shoot-outs like in the old west, its really not true.
"People who have concealed weapons permits are responsible citizens who are basically just interested in protecting themselves.
"In school shootings and situations like that there's not an active shooter.
"The police don't get there, see the shooter, and bam, they shoot them and stop them, stop; the threat.
"It just doesn't happen. The people are already dead and the police are only there to pick up the pieces.
"It's ridiculous that because some people do that that it is restricting people basically their constitutional right. They're not having the opportunity to defend themselves.
"It all comes down to gun control. People, who have ill feelings about guns because they don't know them, don't shoot them, don't have them.
"It's ridiculous to think that there are mass shoot-outs like WWIII or something. It's really just responsible citizens who have taken the initiative to take the class, do the marksmanship training and actually have a state permit.
'Criminals don't care about gun laws, they're going to take guns wherever they want, get them illegally. They don't care that's why they're criminals.
"They don't think this is a school, I can't take it here.
"They don't care, they do it anyway, that's why their criminals.
"Criminals prefer unarmed victims.
"It's ridiculous that people who are against guns think having guns would make a crazy lawless land."

Is this a joke? Sounds like your typical Arizona republican.
Having guns on campus is just asking for another incident to happen. The assumption that everyone who goes through the class and has a state permit is sane is completely ignorant. (Continued…)

Nikki are YOU joking? Are you going to go deep sea diving without an oxygen tank? Or drive without a seatbelt on if you're a Nascar driver?
It's all about the right to bare arms and I aint reffering to the arms on your shoulders. (Continued…)

Sociopathic killers target schools because they know that's where they'll find the defenseless.
