"You call me an anti-gun media weenie. I see that and raise you Columbine (13 dead, 23 wounded), the University of Texas massacre (14 dead, 31 wounded), Virginia Tech (32 dead), Northern Illinois (five dead, 18 wounded), the Red Lake High School massacre (seven dead) and the Jonesboro school massacre (five dead, nine wounded)."

It's too bad your argument does not hold water. Each of those killings happened in "Gun Free Zones," meaning guns aren't allowed there.
Isn't this EXACTLY what geniuses like you lobby for? It has already been PROVEN that these killers specifically target these areas because there is NO CHANCE they can get shot back at.

If a teacher (or at the colleges, a student) at one of these schools had been carrying a weapon, lives would have been saved. But apparently you feel teachers are responsible enough to mold our children's minds and babysit them for 8 hours a day, but not protect them from killers.

I wouldn't call you an "anti-gun media weenie." I like "uneducated racist" much better.

Hasn't anyone else noticed this ridiculous statement by Freeman? This guy is as bad at logic as he is at writing about sports.

I honestly cannot believe no one sees the stupidity of "gun free zones" and how bad it makes Freeman's "argument" look.

Or maybe everybody knows how stupid this idea is so there's nothing to discuss...? No, I think there are some people who are just as uneducated as Freeman.

What is it that the critics always say about athletes who get caught up in these situations? "It was preventable."  As you say, so were all those tragic killings.

One more tragic, preventable event:
    while attempting to enforce existing gun laws, our incompetent federal government  instigated the actions that led to the deaths of 86 people at Waco, TX. (That statement is true regardless of whether or not you are a conspiracy nut.)

That's more deaths than in all those referenced shootings combined.

Note to administrator: that statement does not make me a disloyal American. I simply believe the adage that "that government functions best that is most directly answerable to the people." That means I tend to trust state and local officials whose names I know and whose kids my kids know more than federal, unaccountable, job-protecting bureaucrats.

That was one of the best posts I have EVER seen on ANY forum.
