Welcome to Gaia! ::

Except that the ban is almost certainly going to pass due to political pressure. I live in ground zero of this battle, and I can tell the anti-gunners are going to win.

Yeah, when it passes let's just watch the crime reports come in.

That Garcia guy is a douchebag.

What I would like to see is the students that voted against this ban to just not register for the following semester or transfer out, it did seem to be a high amount of students that voted against, I wonder if the school would get the picture from this lost revenue.

Seems the general consensus in the comments is that this is a bad idea. I want a thread made in the ED about this to see if some of the more intelligent members will come out and throw some logic down. Hell, I'll probably make it myself.

Someone raise a valid point- all of the schools where shootings took place were gun-free zones. Psychos like Harris and Klebold or Cho will specifically target schools where they know they will face little to no opposition, because they are cowards. It's why they took their lives, rather than let themselves be caught by the police.

Hell, the only reason I don't mind my college being gun-free is because we have campus police that can get across the campus in two minutes.

EDIT: made a thread

In other news, there's talk in Arizona about legalizing unregistered CCW. This should be interesting. It's nice to know that there's no more intermediary steps between what we have and that.

I mean intermediary steps like the AWB was an intermediary towards a total gun ban. You can't go ALL THE WAY and expect to win it.
