It depends if it's a B&E, or a B&E After Dark.

Candada is more armed, and has higher unemployment yet fewer gun crimes.

He used a 9mm Pistol and a .22 Caliber Pistol.

Probably since it has 10% the population of the US. I think from a genetic perspective, there is a certain # of genetically whacked people out of a million that would be predisposed for such a crime. Having 10% the population means I expect a 90% less whacko's doing some odd crime like this in Canada. Add in probably less stress in Canada (I think the US has got to be the most stressed out country to live in), and that further reduces trigger mechanisms for whacked people to do this kind of thing. Just some of my theories is all, or should I call them hypothesis?

Regular Breaking & Entering is only a misdemeanor.

But Breaking & Entering After Dark is a felony.

Well... I still have not heard a convincing enough opinion from anyone to make me think about giving up my weapons...

All I keep hearing is "If there were no guns no one would get shot..."

This is so true...

But then I would use a Spear or Sword or Knife, Rocks, Paper, Scissors...My hands... something ....

So... I guess if there were none of the above I could use my teeth...:hmm:

Hey! You ... umm ... Individuals... that wanna ban guns... answer this, IF YOU CAN,

Where does the banning of weapons stop?

Come on ... If your so smart ... Cause everything can be used as a weapon ...

And don't cop out with the ''We just want guns banned" ... That jive went out the window with the baby and the bath water y'all want to throw away ...

SO???

I shall take your non-response to this as you have seen my light and will purchase a weapon for self defense... and you will argue against Gun Control and the ban of guns of any kind on these forums ...

Remember Santa is watching and making a list...:o

yes i see your point do you see mine the campus had a police force the town had a police force all the civilains around had guns and yet this man went on a 2 hr rampage all those guns and still 35 dead guns cant control gun crime if it could how come this happens with alarming regularity in your country schools workplaces nowhere is safe no matter how many guns

yes but its hard for a nut to kill 35 peope with a knife where as its easy for a nut to load up as much ammo he can and kill 35 people

crap we are talking percentages here dusent matter how many people you have ythat point has been proven the have a lesser percentage mind you there culture isnt as violent as the US so theres another factor

With waterpistols this wouldn't have happened.

Its easy to kill 35 people with a knife ...

As far as loading up ammo and to kill 35 people ...It depends what your 'ammo' is ...

There once was a Giant that was killed with one stone... The cat that did the killing had 4 more stones in his pocket for the 4 brothers of the Giant...


Again don't evade the question...

I think you are still way too emotional. It has been stated at least 2 times (probably more) that guns are not allowed on campus. Period. So there were no guns to take this guy down. Period.

Another thing - Most employers do not allow guns either.

Other schools do not allow guns either - no guns are allowed on public school property.

Begining to see the big picture yet? Everywhere these big rampages happen are places that the rampager has thought out before hand that he won't have any return fire. The few places I can think that would have allowed guns, and the victims were indivduals that think like you - easy targets.

PS. You can put a cop on every corner (not gonna happen), and they still could not control something like this.

Not at all hard with a knife. That is why they tried to ban selling even steak knifes in the UK.

That was helpful. Thank You.
