Concealed carry on campus might have put a stop to it.

Following in Great Britain's foot steps, the next items the Liberals will want to regulate are sharp instruments!!!

[Garufa]

Excellent timing considering our legislature is working to relax blade laws.  :rolleyes:

When will the American public in general realize that the problem isn't the instrument used in the crime, but the criminal him/herself. If you take away every useful object from people who want to kill, they'll beat people to death with their fists. It's so obvious it's frustrating.

Crazy people do crazy things.. Back years and years ago I knocked the crap out of a school mate with a science book.. I got my ass busted with a paddle by the teacher and by a belt when I got home.. All the had to do was put a ban on science books.... Problem solved!!

Never.

I'm afraid you're right. Great signature BTW

[vontar]

Legal to carry 5.5" blades on college campus in Texas.

 

He only had some weenie scalpel or Xacto, nobody with a real knife could step up for c'sake?

no way...that's not the answer... we have to ban knives , that's the only way this will stop (sarcasm) 

[Guest Cami]

Especially those scary, evil looking assault knives!  They just jump up from nowhere and slash people.  Oh and while we are at it we will be taking your kitchen knives and fingernail clippers and etc.....

[Randall53]

Razor knife? Face and neck injuries? He was slashing more than stabbing I'd say....If he had used a real knife and actually stabbing people the damage would have been much worse. Sad part is, the next ones will learn from this guy since its all over the news.

They won't, because controlling people is much harder than controlling inanimate objects.

I saw this on Foxnews streaming live. The local reporter was looking for someone to interview that had been there. He found a young man that had been in the next classroom.

Listen at about 1:08 to what the kid says. "but God protected us in our classroom and we, we wish we could protect ourselves with guns and stuff. We wish the law would let us carry guns cause we're legal adults."

 

Way to go kid. A little nervous (understandably), reasonably calm and collected, articulate, and a gun rights supporter. It was a fluke but the reporter couldn't have stumbled upon a better person to interview.
