Default Schools are dangerous places in the USA

Once again! A shooting incident in Arizona. Several people severely injured.
Time to collect firearms away from the civilians.

Who would do the collecting? The citizens, military police? All have the
RIGHT to bear arms in the U.S. NO ONE has the right to "collect arms
from the civilians." We are governed under the Constitution which can
only be changed by the collective agreement of 2/3 of all 50 states.

It is a school, but it's a college.

How many schools are there in the USA and how many such incidents
are there a year?

(Didn't Finland just have a couple of such incidents a year or so
ago? )

The USA has 300m people, Finland has about 6m, so if the USA has
fifty times as many school shooting incidents as Finland, they're
about even.

The number of incidents of this nature would decrease dramatically.

Why, exactly?

Bringing a gun to a school tends to be illegal in most areas. Firing it
and injuring others definitely is.

Why would adding one more charge to the list (illegal possession of a
firearm) help?

You may have misunderstood. Marrku feels that if all guns in the US were
outlawed, there would be no more shootings.
