Shooting at Northern Illinois.
 
Thought I post this first, just to warn europeans to stay away from
northern illinois.


DEKALB, Ill. - A man dressed in black opened fire with a shotgun and
two handguns from a stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois
University on Thursday, injuring as many as 18 people, four
critically, before he killed himself, the school's president said.

Well done.

I was about to broadcast this piece of news myself. Yes, it is sad that this
happens almost everyday in the USA and so often at school. Americans should
pull themselves together (lawmakers in particular) and collect pistols,
machine guns and bazookas away from ordinary citizens. These tools don't fit
the hands of ordinary people in the first place. And when Joe Smith blows up
with hardware bought from the John J. Rambo supermarket, many innocent
people have to die for no decent reason. Absurd!

Northern Illinois, because Euros get scared so easily?

For the geographically-challenged it's a large area. So why not just go the
Markuu way and simply stay away from the US in its entirety? You could make a
brilliant political statement at the same time. Two birds. Nex

It's illegal for anyone to carry a firearm in a public place anywhere
in Illinois.

This couldn't have happened.

Which makes Markuu's "gun control" solution invalid.

OK, Markuu, I'll play along.

In the eyes of the anti-gun people, you have a valid point.

MY question is, how would *you* go about collecting all of the firearms from
the American public if you were in public office, and an anti-gun law were
passed?

Apparently you can't argue against doing it for any reasons other than
nuts & bolts. That should mean something to you.


That's not answering my question.

No but maybe some people lack a sense of humor.

Actually he stopped himself with his own gun, but too late.
