Well, the greatest error being made here is that every one is assuming I am against guns and that I am trying to take away yours and everyone else's right, which isn't at all what I have said. But when you are dealing with a community-- 26000 students- it presents a very different set of possibilities than those existing in a normal population. One should never, in the aftermath of such a such a traumatic event, emotionally disregard the alternatives, and that is what seems to be happening here. All I have done is brought up the question of the wisdom of allowing on a campus of young people who statistics show are very prone to emotional rollercoasters and poor judgment to have guns. And instead of someone saying, well, yes, but perhaps we could arm teachers, or perhaps we could have far more stringent requirements for carrying on a campus, I get told I have chutzpah for bringing up anything that isn't the party line here. I grew up in Va., not far from Blacksburg and my brother got his undergraduate degree at Tech. I spent many weekends on that campus and have many friends who graduated there and some whose children are still there. So you and the chutzpah can take a hike.
