Police find no motive for Illinois campus shooting

[dplax]

I am by no means advocating taking their guns away...it's easy to see that that would be an impossibility with everyone hanging onto their rights with both hands. I'm simply saying that they should act with much more care and much more responsibly with their guns.

There are exceptions where someone will get an imported weapon, but the law have access to them if need be. Since I amn't used to it, even seeing an american cop walk by me unnerved me because he had a gun on his belt and walked around like it was nothing.

There's only one 'plus' side I see to gun ownership here in the states, it'd be pretty damned hard to be invaded, we're an army unto ourselves.

A few months ago here in the southern Indiana, northern Kentucky area, there was a teenager that got into an argument with his mother, went into his parent's room (which apparently housed a sniper rifle), went down to the nearest highway and started picking drivers off, ended up killing 2-3 people as they went down the road.

Personally, I'm all for fist fighting, what happened to beating the crap out of the person that pissed you off?
