"PeterL" kirjoitti ... Thought I post this first, just to warn europeans to stay away from northern illinois. Well done. 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. 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.

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. |
