Another college shooting in California whats going on?

Question

Guns, Guns and more guns! If it's not Iraq taking the lives of the US people it's guns in colleges. Anyone think this is getting a little funny?

Answer 1

There are three guns for every person in the US! They are so available that they are simply bound to be used. Gun deaths run at between 2,000 and 3,000 a month!

The NRA are hell bent on having no controls what so ever!!
Not even sensible rules about locking guns and ammunition in separate secure cabinets or anything else. All the while they win - the more people are going to die - the numbers will rise year by year.

Funny - no it is tragic!!!

Why do they not invite Charlton Heston to one of the campuses and invite him to hold up his gun and say again "Only from my cold dead hand" I suspect even his loaded gun would not save him from the wrath of the good unarmed people!!

Answer 2

I know that the American public doesn't want any gun control. After the shooting at Virginia Tech there were talk radio and TV commentators saying that "guns aren't the problem" or maybe if "students had been allowed to carry guns, then this wouldn't have happened". There were even opinion polls conducted that more Americans wanted no infringement on the second amendment after the shooting at Virginia Tech.

This morning, when I looked at the headlines on CBS.com, it listed a shooting in a New York courthouse, Oklahoma City, and the shooting at Fresno State. If the easy access and availability to guns is not the problem, then what is it? Are Americans more aggressive and see shooting people as a viable solution to their problems?

You do not have shootings like this in Europe or Australia where gun control is much stricter. You do not have shootings like this in Canada where gun control laws are less restrictive than Europe, but more restrictive than the US. When will Americans realize that some gun control or restricted availability to firearms is necessary in our country.

Answer 3

Meanwhile, over 100 people will die in traffic accidents today and no one cares.

Solve that one first, then get on to the lesser problem.


This was an incident resulting from a fight over a frigging Playstation 3. In California, where I'm sure it's not legal to have a gun on campus. I think we should ban Playstations on Campus first to alleviate that trigger.

As for the "2000 - 3000 gun deaths per month" from the gentleman above ranting about the NRA, that figure includes suicides which accounts for half of all gun deaths per year. As the fine people of Japan demonstrate quite well, one does not need a gun to commit suicide, so let's cut that number in half to 1500 per month that are actual gun deaths perpetrated by someone else. About 90% of those involve purposeful criminal actions. Last time I checked, criminals don't really worry about going through permit processes to obtain their firearms. That leaves the approximately 3000 deaths per year of accidental or unintended gun deaths. Obviously that is way too many, but when compared to other accidental means of death, and when comparing that number against the number of crimes and deaths avoided by the legal use of firearms, it doesn't seem like that serious of an issue.

Answer 4

Not for California which seems to be preparing to secede from the United States of America. The Golden State's latest announcement is that the town of San Pablo like many other California cities will not cooperate with federal authorities in locating illegal aliens. An uncivil war between legal Californians and undocumented aliens is going to erupt with violence between the taxpayers and the criminals before too long, and the taxpayers just haven't realized they lost yet by being so gutless and pc. The state has been falling apart for several years now and the productive minority can no longer afford to fix it. Should have nuked Berkeley when they had the chance during the Reagan years or at least shipped all the Commies/Socialists to Russia.

Answer 5

Tougher gun laws sure but what's going on is school bullies.
Victims of bullying have turned to serious acts of violence for revenge nationally. Yet schools seem to nothing about the problem. In my opinion, they are the ultimate offenders. Adults are supposed to protect children under their care. Students in school are under the care of the teachers and administrators. When bullying occurs at school, they are the ones reponsible for stopping it. Obviously they didn't. There should very harsh punishment to the bullies, such as suspension for children found to be involved in bullying others and that they should also be given counseling, and eventually expulsion. This may cause the school shootings to go down because or kids will feel safer in school.
Also I think parents should demand accountability from the teachers and administrators of their children's school. To not hold a school accountable for tolerating bullying is a crime. If a few school officials went on trial for endangering their students, you can be sure they would stop being so tolerant of bullying and take appropriate action. The same is true of parents. If they don't teach their kids to act like decent human beings they to should be held accountable.
If you can't get them held legally responsible and can't get them prosecuted, then get them fired for allowing bullying in school to continue after repeated requests to stop it.! Don't accept inaction.Your child's well being is at stake.

Answer 6

For all of you who think the shooting in California happened at Fresno State, it did not, it was at an apartment across the street from the University. Yes it was over a Play Station, one 19 year old was killed and the police are still looking for one other person.

Answer 7

Of course its getting funny. Something else is going on. It's about Gun Control in America. Wake up, people!

Answer 8

Yeah..people are crazy..but its not really a college shooting..it was over a playstation and between a former student and another guy....Sad people cant control themselves..

But people get shot in fresno cali everyday..youre hearing about this only because its a 'college shooting'

Answer 9

Why do you think this sort of shooting is continuing through out America? When TV show hosts are setting examples of how they can destroy anyone through their hate yaketty-yak-yak minutes after minutes into homes across nations, day in and out, they set examples to those, with hate in their minds, to act like the TV show hosts, in their desires to destroy who they hate.

How I wish that those who bring news/reports into our homes could be as professional as in the old days, instead of being entertaining junkies without real visions! Guess the modern era of TV talk hosts looking for popularity with their entertaining silliness and looking to be invited to 'who's who on the party-list' is making TV media and TV talk-show hosts trying to compete with Hollywood actors for the limelight. They are beginning to look less and less credible as real-life professional human beings, but merely fiction characters in novels, films and on stage.

Hate-toting TV show hosts are setting bad examples to the vulnerables in America, inspiring hate until they succeed in destroying those they hate. Hope it's about time they realize it... judging on the hate-killing cases that have increased over the last 6 years.

It's about time America has real and genuine laws that don't treat any lawbreakers with leniency and approval. When our laws pander to lawbreakers, they promote confusion to the population as to what broken laws are permissable to break or what ain't! The standard of ethics and morality has become so screwed up in America these last 6 years!

Answer 10

I don't think its "funny" at all, the world is a scary place!!! Its like once one person (Va Tech) does something everyone else has to compete and imitate them and its just sad!
