    A good idea in theory, but do you really want cross-fire in a crowded lecture hall?

    Why the hell don't universities have metal detectors when entering ALL buildings? No guns would be best.

      And what do you do when one of those people accidentally kills someone else?

        That's probably the dumbest idea I've ever heard/read. It would only make school shootings much more prevalent.

          No, dude, that's absolutely ridiculous. lol. If people were allowed to possess firearms, than that would just increase the chances of some **** like this happening.

            I agree...the amount of responsible and gun educated students is significantly outweighed by un-educated, rash, just sketchy students. I don't think I'd trust myself to be carrying a gun right now, just too dangerous.

              That is NOT the answer. This is pretty close to me, and my brother and cousin both go to school there. Both were nowhere near the incident, but I'm absolutely in awe at how this world is going to ****.

                  Re: NIU Shooting

                  3 in condition red
                  2 head injury and chest injury
                  8 in stable, indirect gunshot wounds
                  4 in good condition

                  Some of my family and friends go to NIU, my cousin and her boyfriend are alright. But we all know hundreds of people at NIU, so its definitely scary.

                  Its a lot different when it hits home...

                    That's a better situation than a guy going around a crowded lecture hall shooting people in the head at will with no resistance, plucking off people left and right. But, to each his own. It's just my opinion.

                        So what do you do when those people with guns end up killing others on accident?

                          It sure is. I always thought VT was horrible, but it never really made me feel sick like I am now because I know tons of people there and as I mentioned, have a few family members there. It changes it a lot.

                            Yea and gunfights would start breaking out over all kinds of other things, it would be anarchy and no one would be safe.

                              The shooter was not an NIU student, but a student at a different university..But they are not releasing that information.

                                So other people could just start shooting at each other for no reason? It would cause a lot of chaos especially if people don't know who they are supposed to be firing at.
