Wow, Bill. I am, quite frankly, astounded that anyone serious would be arguing that kids should be allowed to walk around college campuses armed so that, if one of them snaps, others will be able to take him out. Do you really think that a student capable of killing 32 fellow Hokies over a girl is going to be at all deterred by the thought that some other student might shoot him? Sorry, Bill, but psychotics are not that easily deterred. We're not talking about everyday criminals here, robbing convenience stores or burglarizing homes. It seems obvious to me that arming students, faculty or staff just in case one of them is a lunatic just makes it more likely that when that psychotic break comes, people will die.
