Guns Defensively Used (GDU''s) a highly contraversial statistic. Estimates range from 82,000 to over 1 million per year. Now assuming that gun owners want bad guys off the streets and assuming that all GDU''s result froman assault where the perp is using a gun, why then does this not mean 82,000 at least dead perps. All these gun owners say they use guns for protection and use the Wild West "Ah''ll blow the (insert the invective)''s brains aht," but the numbers show they don''t. Why not? Hell in FL you just have to FEEL threatened to shoot the bad guy (or a neighbor or the Postman if they''re having a bad day). Why aren''t there dead perps littering the streets all over the country if GDU''s are this common?

Arguing about the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with the nuts running loose.If you take away the good peoples right to protect themselves,then the only gun carriers in this country would be the cops,and the bad guys.Hell I can go down the street and buy a gun if I want,from the bad guys.

If you know where the bad guys selling guns are report them to the police. I love all the "responsible gun owners" who are happy to defend themselves, but then let the punks go. You want crime off the streets carry a cell phone with your precious gun, keep the gun pointed at the perps and call the cops - don''t let them run away to kill again another day.

I CANT BELIEVE SELECT SCOOLS WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN THEIR SERVICES BECAUSE THEY DIDNT BELIEVE FOR THIS THREAT TO BE ALARMING.IF AN INCIDENT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE THEN OFFICIALS WOULD HAVE BEEN ON TV CRYING AND TRYING TO BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE.U GUYS SURE SHOW HOW MUCH U CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN,I BET IF ONE OF THEIR KIDS WENT TO ONE OF THE SCHOOLS IT WOULD BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY.GOOD GOING AMERICA

The Supreme Court just ruled about 3 weeks ago on the gun issue.We the People have a right to bear arms.They also said each state,and city have the right to make the laws within their communities who,and how they can carry them.We do have the right to keep them at home that is for sure.

The college that remained closed,I give you props.Everyone else seems to take these threats lightly.When some idiot actually executes their threat then it will be too late.

Actually, the amendment reads:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What it actually means (people or militia) has been argued for two centuries and the truth is, we don''t know for sure what the founding fathers meant as there is evidence to swing both ways.
