**There are at least 32 families for which the fact that people like yourselves want only “limited” gun control will be little consolation this evening.**

I don’t think you should presume to speak for the 32 familes. I can’t think of anyone on my campus I would feel comfortable with knowing they had a gun.

There's your problem. You seek to make law based upon what you "feel" instead of the Constitution or the available facts.

Like this guy?

And what about knives? Everyone on campus has access to those.

Then you:
1. Need to find another school
2. Need to find new friends
3. Both 1 & 2

People like you are totally scary to me. You want to deny me the RIGHT to self defense in ALL situations.

Can you think of someone on your campus who, if armed, might just gun down 30+ people? I bet you know someone like that, some freak who acts as if they might just snap any second now. I would feel more comfortable knowing there was a second gun around to take the shooter out.

Did you know that today is Yad Hoshoah? Do you know why the Warsaw ghetto uprising lasted as long as it did? Guns.

The worst massacre to occur on a school campus in this country took the lives of 38 people, most of them children, on May 18th, 1927. Not one of those 38 was shot. The murderer, Andrew Kehoe, blew up the newly-constructed Bath School in Bath, Michigan. He timed the explosion to go off simultaneously with his own dynamite-laden truck, which killed himself, the school's superintendent, and three other people. No shots.

How many times does it have to be said before it makes sense? Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Take the guns away from law-abiding citizens and this country will become a shooting gallery.

No one? No one at all? You either need new friends, a new school, or a good firearms training session to take the mystery and fear out of them. If you would not feel comfortable carrying a gun yourself then please don't apply that criteria to everyone else. Many of the rest of us have the training, the knowledge, the will, and also government issues permits to carry concealed firearms. If you can't trust such people with guns then the problem does not lie with them. Anyone that would not trust me with a gun, I would not trust with my constitutional rights. Which is why I can't vote for any anti-gun politician.

It's not about your comfort, it's about the right of others to defend themselves. And it's about the Constitution, which protected the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Who gives a 'Rat's pattootie if you are comfortable or not?

" I can’t think of anyone on my campus I would feel comfortable with knowing they had a gun."

People with your mindset are ultimately responsible for the deaths that result from leaving so many people defenseless.
