WTF is wrong with Lone Star College?

Please. Let's keep on task here. It was NOT a knife. So please don't malign the legal and legitimate knife owners and possessors.

Here's a "knife" ..

Here is a "razor utility knife" ...

We have to keep these weapon names straight .. Originally Posted by LexusLover

You want to start the speculation about his political leanings? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Did you know that it was a weapon free zone? That is just what the gun grabbers want and look what it got them. The NRA position would have been only qualified people with knives (but then why bring a knife to a gun fight) would have them.

IT WAS A GUN/KNIFE FREE ZONE! EPIC FAIL! Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

If it was not a gun free zone then maybe an armed Texican would have stopped him much quicker. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

the gun free zone doesn't apply to law enforcement, or someone licensed on duty, ...so maybe the suspect was just taken down by students before an "armed texican" got on scene

Didn't the Kansas legislature just pass a bill allowing concealed carry people to carry on campus?

That should get you all aflutter.

So you're trying to use that outlier incident to say that an assailant with a gun is less dangerous than an assailant with a knife (or in this case, an exacto knife)?

Good thing he didn't use a nail clipper.

It is happening in Britain - they first banned handguns and now are going after knife ownership....................

There is no end to the Nanny State police that Progressives encourage.

You certainly have a love affair with human excrement HeadUpHisAss...............you r avatar, your trademark "dipshit", and your compulsion to constantly use the word "turd"..............

Very strange; very strange..........I think it is known as "Coprophagia"................. .I don't know any ECCIE providers who cater to such fetish...but you likely do-do.

jb123, the point is that it is the nutjobs that are the problem and not the tools that they are using.

A second point unrelated to the OP is that the amount of successful suicides (at least in the US) would also be greatly lessened by having no guns around. Studies show that most suicides usually have an immediate regret as soon as they attempt it. Guns are simply so lethal that suicides involving guns are much more successful (as defined as killing oneself) than in the cases of cutting or swallowing pills/poisons.
