While driving home from work listening to 770am in Albuquerque New Mexico the callers made this point. Where is the courage of young people. Nobody bumrushed this dude. Also the police as usual drops the ball. Gun shots on tv and none of the cops go in. Americans do not realize the police that you pay taxes for are not legally oblicated to protect you. Thank the fore fathers for the second amendment. I grew up in eastern North Carolina fighting with blacks I guess it made me tuff. Also being a sailor for four years but I don't fear guns and knives. Plus I have my own. I just think 30 plus is too much. If this dude is crazy or just a nut muslim doesn't matter just take a desk and smash his brain in. 9/11 and now this just shows we got alot of sheep in our country. Now there is 60 parents hurting I don't get it.

This is an interesting theory that merits further study.
Therefore, I suggest that bring you to the third floor of a building where we can start shooting at you, to see how you react. I'm sure you'll be able to demonstrate this "bumrush" of yours without difficulty.

Well I do have a metal for my courage not all of us are victims, hippie. But before you start bashing me because I am not like you this is off the radio. Another right we are given the first amendment. Talk radio.

I didn't bash. I said it was an interesting theory and we should test it.
I don't have a gun, but I'm sure we can find someone here willing to shoot you without too much difficulty. Anyone?
Oh, and I see you've edited your initial post, since before it just seemed to be your own opinion. Just making sure that the person who made the point gets credit, I'm sure. Someone who has a medal for courage would be more than able to stand by his opinion after all, wouldn't he?

I kinda agree, in a world where everyone packed a gun and knew how to use it this guy would have been dead by number 3 or 4.

And in a world where everyone had a gun, how many more thousands dead would there be in a year? It's all a trade off. You - rather counter intuitively - think the answer to gun violence is more guns. I don't think that's the right track.
BTW, if people had been willing to swarm the guy, with or without guns, there would have been fewer dead.

Hippie boy, check your eyes when reading no one edited any post. I listen to the radio and more than one person called in saying the same thing. Same with the cops not rushing in. A nut with a gun has to be taken out either by the students or the police. Sirhan Sirhan got taken to the floor when rfk was murdered yet they didn't have any guns. I just don't get it. Our we sheep or men.

So let me get this straight:
Young people today are wussy's (with a P)
All police are inept cowards
Fighting blacks (i assume you mean black people) makes you tough
Being a sailor makes you tough
Do I have all that right?

Pssst, I think you will find that DeskTopHippie is a girl, not a boy.
Oh and the in the case of RFK, he was subdued by an Olympic Gold medalist and an member of the NFL, both of whom worked as private security, and were therefore expecting trouble, but not before at least 6 people including the President were shot.
Now these athletes are a lot bigger, have faster reflexes and were in a room with their very good friend who was the target. Sirhan Sirhan was targeting 1 man, he was a known assailant and he was contained in a room.
These kids were hit from out of nowhere, the sheer confusion of the situation adds to the whole thing - oh and they were IN SCHOOL not in an area they would expect to be fired on.

I think the problem is simple futility. Banning guns doesn't work, it's as ineffective as the war on drugs. Bad guys have guns.
We can't very well live as if life is an airport, with metal detectors, baggage checks and searches everywhere we go, either.
I think "good" citizens, who have passed a background check and received proper training, should be armed. Because the bad guys have guns, and we don't. Fight fire with fire, I say, it's futile to do otherwise. Not without sacrificing our freedom and making life one big airport terminal.
