Yes lets just ban guns. its a great idea because bans work really well. just like alcohol was banned in the 20s and marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine are banned today. Bans just plain and simply work.

also, for the long shoot outs that you guys say will occur... i carry 6 rounds of ammo when im carrying. just enough to defend myself probably against one or two people. most people with concealed carry permits probably are not going to be carrying hundreds of rounds of ammo so that the shoot out will occur for an hour. and about the police not knowing who is who, the shootings will be over by the time the cops arrive

Ross, I'm glad you don't want us to protect you. we dont want to. we want to protect ourselves.
also, jizzybee.... Take the Colorado church for example. Gunman carrying a rifle and two handguns shoots two people in the parking lot, then enters the church of 7000 people. he steps in the door and is shot by a women with a concealed carry license. Hundreds of lives were saved that day.

also you have to remember that when the police show up they will probably sit outside and wait for swat. so theres another 2 hours

KU = 10,000 text messages over 30 minutes
Police = 5 - 10 minutes
Concealed Carry = 2 seconds
do the math

actually KU allows knives on campus that are under 4 inches. refer to the following and do more research before you make assumptions
http://www.hreo.ku.edu/policies_procedur...
any knife, commonly referred to as a switch-blade, which has a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in the handle of the knife, or any knife having a blade that opens or falls or is ejected into position by the force of gravity or by an outward, downward or centrifugal thrust or movement; any straight-blade knife of four inches or more such as a dagger, dirk, dangerous knife or stiletto; except that an ordinary pocket knife with a blade no more than four inches in length shall not be construed to be a weapon for the purposes of this policy.

Who's going to push the button first?? who do you think? My weapon will never used unless my life is in danger.
People who are criminals don't get concealed carry licenses. Criminals don't ask their government for a license to carry a concealed handgun.
Guns are used in defensive situations...
According to researchers Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz, citizens use their firearms to thwart criminal attacks anywhere from 670,000 to 1.5 million times per year. About 99% of these defensive gun uses, the weapon is never fired. Just showing the weapon is enough to send the criminal the other way.
Here's some recent news stories to show guns being used in defense. Now remember, these are just the 1% of defensive gun uses, the other 99% in which the weapon was never fired will never make the news.

Empirelucas, so why do you think that licensed individuals who carry a gun everywhere they go in daily life shouldn't be able to carry when they walk onto a college campus?

oh wait a minute. i guess the people who go around mugging others forget that mugging people is banned in this country... so is murder, rape,
