As a student and legal adult there should be no problem with my packing on campus (first amendment right). Oh right, I forgot, colleges are run by a bunch of socialist scumbag Sodomite pigs who are going to burn in hell with all their thugs and druggie friends and cultist supporters...

Pretty atrocious nonetheless. He was willing to kill 17 people. Lucky for us he was too stupid to point a gun correctly, eh? I really think the only legitimate difference between "attempted murder" and "murder" is ability. Intent is the same, judgement should me the same. Digressing... digressing...

Certainly a tragedy. I wonder if it has something to do with the anti-life philosophy universities tend to support. Being that all this killing happens at universities...

Pretty sad turn of events. I really wish guys like this would talk to me first, I could tell them to make a practice run on the grand finale just to make sure it is what they really want to do, then slip a bullet in the chamber when they're not looking.

Now 5 are dead. 4 students and the gunman.

That there are only 18 wounded is a miracle, apparently there were between 150-200 students in there.

Stuff like this makes you wonder, what goes through someone's head to think to themselves that "hey! im guna go over to the college today and shoot up the place!"....... honestly, how can someone come out with that? The guy wasnt a student, he had apparently no affiliation with NIU...

As said before...another "Gun Free Zone" shooting...

How many people have to die before the libtards wake up and smell the reality? How many of our children have to die to get this through their heads that disarming the public OBVIOUSLY is NOT helping? I would like to think that the people running our government have some ability to think critically...but i am starting to wonder if they are able to think at all.


RIP everyone, All are in my thoughts.

Some people can't take the horrible winter we're having up here and go nuts. He probably hurt his back shoveling and was taking it out on someone. Actually shouldn't be kidding about this but it could be a reason....

well if this idiot didn't have a gun in the first place then none of this happens....another unneccessary tragedy, the majority of which seem to occur in a country where guns are legal...

Irish,

Don't even start. It's a waste of time to speak in truths to people that believe that their "rights" are being violated when they aren't allowed to possess a weapon that is designed to kill people, and for that reason only.

This will continue to happen forever. And it's sad that it's because of their own beliefs system.

I can guarantee that even if people were allowed to "pack" on campus that this same thing would happen at the regular frequency. And don't think that you could save your own ass with a gun. It takes alot to shoot someone.

I'm not posting anymore in this thread because it doesn't become an argument, it becomes a revelation.
