THAT WAS AN AWESOME VIDEO LOL
I hate that when anyone suggests that "Gun Free Zones" should be eliminated....they (libs) freak out. "But the movies will then become like the OK Corral!" What they don't understand is that...nothing will change. Is the grocery store like the OK Corral? Is the sidewalk an OK Corral? There are people with CCW ALL AROUND and 99.999% of the time...NO ONE KNOWS IT!
The only gun free zones...should be where they will ENFORCE IT. Football games? OK...pat everyone down...Hockey games at our arena? OK...everyone goes through metal detectors and is patted down. I get it. If you have NO MEANS of enforcing a law, it is POINTLESS. It keeps NO ONE safe.
As far as assault weapons...being my experience in manufacturing quality control and statistical analysis...I look at the numbers. Statistically, there are FAR MORE people with assault weapons who NEVER commit crimes. There is NO statistical correlation to suggest that the availability is what causes these things. Gun owners in general commit crimes at a rate lower than average.
I read in an article about a PhD research psychologist that did profiles on mass school violence. Their data suggested that:
1) Most of these guys are VERY smart academically
2) Most of them are not "loners" by choice
3) Most of them WANTED to be accepted by their peers, but were rejected multiple times
What we have here is a CULTURAL problem. In schools, in society, we end up separated by social cliques and classes. There has been a cultural shift here where a lot of responsible positive traits are not valued by peers (academic success, responsibility, etc) Even in pop culture, and trickling down to schools, people value and respect dumb jocks, divas, prom queens, cheerleaders, football players who get drunk and rape girls while they are passed out etc. Steven Q Urkel never getting with Laura Winslow until he becomes "Stephon", nerds getting locked in lockers, etc. most of these shooters are bitter from being rejected for being different. They are smart, plan their attacks to kill as many people possible, are cold, and caculated. they make their own napalm and bomb boobie traps like a version of SAW movies. They know whats up and want to prove a point. They are not crazy, they know what they are doing is wrong...hence suicide to avoid being held responsible. They see bullies torment them daily and get away with it...this is their way to make a name for themself, be famous, and not have to deal with consequences.
Now, not to say bullies are 'responsible' per se for a shooters actions (many people get bullied, and instead go on to be a millionaire by the 10 year reunion), but a shift in values and an increase in parents teaching and enforcing tolerance would have a far larger impact than a "Gun Free Zone" sign.
