"It's time to forget about writing more gun bans, time to quit profiling (it's a stalling tactic for political reasons) and time to litigate. The first order of business for any damaged plaintiff is to sue everybody. This would be all colleges who ban weapons, including those who have seen their students murdered ..."

"This would include suing for administration interference with self-defense by way of policy in cases of both gun and non-gun killings such as knifings, beatings and missing persons."

"It could be found that a college has no duty to protect its student body ... but does a college have an obligation NOT to INTERFERE with adults who take their own reasonable and legal measures in self-defense? ..." ...

"'American firearm owners can save the United States from an impending potential political disaster in November,' gun rights expert John M. Snyder said here today."

"He noted that the two Democrat candidates for President, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barrack Hussein Obama of Illinois, profess support for the Second Amendment but that the public record of 'each of these two characters demonstrates their actual opposition to the individual Second Amendment civil right of law-abiding American citizens to keep and bear arms. This is hypocrisy. They're like Tweedledum and Tweedledee in their lying to the American public.'" ...

"Having read most of the blogs and subsequent comments concerning the latest gun-related tragedy ... I noticed the wildly disparate opinions regarding this incident and the purpose of the second amendment."

"While these incidents are tragic, there are many reasons ... for these types of crimes. I'll not attempt to analyze these reasons here, but I will say this...banning firearms for law-abiding citizens is not the answer. Unfortunately, incidents like these are the assumed risks of life in a free society."

"The right to bear arms is not only intended for protection of oneself and one's property, but the right to defend oneself from the tyranny of government. Are we to allow only the police and the criminals to carry guns?" ...

"For the purpose of a survival / defensive weapon there are much better weapons on the market than the little M1 carbine. The M1 is overpriced and under powered, one would be much better served by two Yugo SKS's or four .303 british bolt guns costing approximately the same as one of the little .30 carbines. But seeing how interest in this thing never seems to die, I will get into a little more detail here."

"The M1 carbine bolt mechanism is similar to the M1 Garand rifle, though the carbine has a different gas system and trigger mechanism design. The gas system is a lightweight tappet-and-slide gas system. Initially fed from a 15 round magazine, a 30 round magazine was introduced for the M2." ...

"The Karabiner 98k 'Mauser' (often abbreviated 'K98k' or 'Kar98k') was adopted in the mid 1930s and would be the most common infantry rifle in service within the German Army during World War II. The design was based on developed from the Karabiner 98b, one of the carbines developed from the Model 1898 mentioned before. The K98k was first adopted by the Wehrmacht in 1935 to be their standard issue rifle, with many older versions being converted and shortened as well as the design itself entering production." ...

"If you think the District of Columbia's ban on all functional firearms in all homes is a reasonable regulation under the Second Amendment, you'll love the friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Bush administration in D.C. v. Heller, now before the Supreme Court."

"The Department of Justice's (DOJ) previously stated position is that the Second Amendment secures a right of individuals not restricted to militia service. But astonishingly, the Justice Department now recommends an elastic standard for determining whether a handgun ban is reasonable. According to the DOJ, the courts should consider the nature and functional adequacy of available alternatives. That may sound sensible at first blush, but it could be fatal to the Heller litigation." ...

"In the wake of a horrific campus shooting at Northern Illinois University, where 21 students were shot, we're reminded again that national gun laws must be strengthened."

"Sadly, gun laws have only been weakened since the massacres at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. To be sure, these headline-grabbing mass shootings may not have been preventable. But beyond the headlines, consider this news: 83 Americans die each and every day from gun violence. And much of that violence is very preventable." ...

"The second tragedy lies in the way we refuse to learn from our past fiascos.

"Following the tragic shooting at Northern Illinois University, the last in a string of college shootings in recent years, questions of student safety are a topic of legitimate concern throughout the nation. Among the many proposals that have been discussed, by far the most controversial solution has been the idea of legalizing the carrying of firearms on university campuses. This proposition is seen by some as nothing more than an exercise in common sense ... However, proponents of gun control laws will argue that giving students a carte blanche privilege to carry concealed firearms would actually contribute to the frequency with which gun related violence erupts in our nation's colleges." ...

In response to the Feb. 13 editorial, I wish to state that my wife and I have been to numerous national parks. Licensed to carry a handgun, as I did every time we visited a national park, I am exercising my Second Amendment rights.

Look at the escalating episodes of shootings in the last few months in our schools, malls, colleges, etc. Who would be there to protect my family? The police cannot be everywhere, furthermore, it is not their job to protect you as an individual.

Why do you think more men and women are legally carrying guns? They are frightened. Outlawing guns in national parks would be just like outlawing drugs ... only the bad guy would have them.
