You would think somebody's instinct would be to fight back. Also I know quite a bit about Glocks and they are prone to reloading complications and jamming which is why many police and security forces are starting to move away from them. It seems like people just don't try but, it's not their fault, this kid was a maniac and didn't deserve the media attention he's got. His name, his face, and his videos should have never been shown. I agree with Pr3ssur3 about the whole final word thing.

if you lived outside america you wouldn't have to no shit regardless of your gender. also, one final thought as this thread is losing momentum, i'm absolutely shocked that some of you lot think that more guns are the answer to these massacres. i propose a ban on guns closely followed by bruce willis and john wayne movies. less guns=less murders.

Like I said, I'm sure if the other students were armed as well and it would have been a fair fight as opposed to a suicide quest, they probably would have fought back.

How is that relevant? Cho's gun didn't jam & USA Today ran a story this morning about how his shooting spree was nearly ceaseless. On a Glock 19, after the last shot of a clip, the slide locks back automatically. One push of a button near the trigger with the thumb ejects the cartridge, the other hand pops in the new clip, then the same thumb pushes the slide release & you are back in action. It literally takes like 3 seconds at the most for someone that knows what they're doing.

It seems like people just don't try but, it's not their fault, this kid was a maniac and didn't deserve the media attention he's got. His name, his face, and his videos should have never been shown. I agree with Pr3ssur3 about the whole final word thing.

No arguement there. The media sensationalizing the event feeds into the fear (Media cultivating fear. Imagine that!) people have in general and is probably creating new pyschopaths as we speak.

The media needs something to cook its beef upon, and they have got a barbecue on their hands. This incident's levity is only being marred by its sensationalisation. As long as they keep cooking the story up, this country will hit the meat-grinder in no time.

What I find truly sad is that after Columbine, you'd think that there were more measures to prevent such an occurance again. Apparently history will continue to repeat itself. News stations will play Cho's videos and another gaggle of disenfranchised people will copycat for their 15 minutes of infamy, the same finger pointing from the "No Guns/ More Guns" sides debate will flare up again long enough until something more sensational happens, the families will bury their fallen and everyone will go on with their lives until the next one. Nothing changes. People get riled up enough to have an opinion, but never enough to do anything.

yes banning guns will bring down crime and murder for a short time mabe 20 years if were lucky but people will always find away to distroy one another. and you can kill people with more then guns, the problem is society makes us think there is a certain social standerd on how to act what to think, and that causes out casts, racism, people being judge, these things can cause phycological problems, then society says if you get help for your issues your broken and that is not normal, so that creats more tension then one day a boy in school has had enough of people thinking hes wierd because he likes blue hair or because he dosent dress trendy etc and he goes and kills, it could be avoided if people excepted that every one is diffrent no ones personality is alike and that its ok to get help when things are bothering you, there will always be crim and murder as long as societys views are like this im saying if it changes that peoplewill stop doing bad things but it will go down, think how many kids and women kill there parents/husband because of the abuse that goes on, its to hard to get it dealt with you know how much proof a school needs to have to get a parents right taken away when there abuseing there kids, there has to be pictures, the kids have to stand on that stand and tell there parents beat them, wives have to risk there lifes to just try to escape, and i dont want to hear that there is no reson a girl cant keep a guy from herting them, guess what some guys are stronger then girls and from exspriance if you go to leave a man and he says no and is stronger then you he will foce you against a wall and scare the shit out of you and punch and hit you just to make sure you dont walk out that door, its hard to get the cops involved they need proof otherwise there is nothing they can do, so some times people get killed some times its the abuser some times its the victiom, dont you think if a person could get people to help them it would stop? but crime will never stop, i feel its because people dont give a shit enough about other people, most people would walk by when they see a girl in a ally geting yelled at and hit in a store they wouldent say shit because its"none of there buissness, they have no compasion, im sorry guns arent the problem people are, were to selfish, we dont want the issues that come with it, and we give in to our anger, and thoughts, i would go on more but im probily gonna get bitched at by people and i dont want to get in fights i just had to say this
