Gun laws?

Blaming it on the media is simple. Shifting the blame from the poor, emotionally troubled teen to the ruthless media is easy. However, it is nothing more than irresponsibly exculpating the perpetrator. The kid pulled the trigger; not the media. The gun was a vital part to implementing his plan; not the media. This is what we know. What his motivation behind the shooting is mere speculation.

Just like saying if he hadn't had the gun he would have been deterred is speculative. You can't say these things because he did have a gun and we don't know what would have happened.

It's pretty easy to speculate the continuous coverage given to these troubled youths who end it all riddling people with bullets is an incentive. These kids are martyrs to other fucked-up kids. If it hadn't been popular in the news perhaps some of these tragedies would not have happened. Just like reporting famous suicides statistically increases suicides near the time of the reporting (at least according to my psychology professor who is a published doctor.)

Am I advocating censoring the media? No. I'm for rights. I'm sorry some people have to die, but just like how I don't agree with the over zealous anti-terror measures that are taken. I don't believe taking a right away from people is the right thing to do. I don't think tylenol should be outlawed if a bunch of people kill themselves with it. After all, I don't particularly like headaches .

I have a drug charge so I'm not aloud to buy a hand gun.

Ooooo, ouch! One of my favorite things to do is go out back and shoot the old .22. But kids having that on campus would really piss me off. I just might end up needing to bring mine for self defense.

Maybe in future years every citizen will need a gun for self defense. You never know what might happen. But has everone noticed that school and college shootings has gone up? It's like where are all these psychopaths coming from...

I'd blame it on the culture. Then again, there was a famous shooting at a texas university by an ex-marine that racked up quite the body count also.

It is defiantly culture. We grow up knowing nothing but violence so when we can we act violent.

Allowing guns on campus would be the worst possible scenario.
