So you feel that the students would have been safer if they were allowed to carry their own handguns? Incredible. I can't think of another time that I've agreed with the liberal European media, but I agree that Charlton Heston is at least partly to blame for the tragedy in Blackberg (http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,477686,00.html). Gun violence accounts for half of a percent of all crime reported in Britain while killing sprees at schools are becoming almost common place in the US and STILL we are going to hold on to an outdated "right" that our founding fathers never intended to be used as it is currently? At what price the right to bear arms? I'm as conservative and true Republican as the rest of you but I just don't understand this fascination with gun rights.
