Another great reason you don't want to go to Liberty where they are encouraged to gave guns.

I'm not really sure why some people on this board continue to feel the need to bash Liberty University or even why Liberty would be mentioned on this thread. I know some really fine people who graduated from Liberty. And if we're talking football, they've put together some pretty good teams lately. Last time they came to Boone they beat us. I would think as far as football goes our fan base would relate to Liberty. Just like we were, their a good FCS team that can't get a good FBS conference deal because of " marketing" issues.

As though any additional reasons are necessary. Actually I looked into one of their online offerings. I think it was called a certification program. It was verrrrrrrry expensive.

I never felt the need and actually would have been happy to have them in the conference. There are many fine people who have gone there to include one of our assistant BB coaches. Then things changed when Mr Falwell decided that as many students as possible should carry on his campus. It is a place I will never step foot on again. I now hope that they do not get into any conference we are in. I care less about their religious beliefs as that is their business and has nothing to do with football or any other sport. My problem is that a collage campus is one of the last places on earth I want everyone carrying guns. No I am not anti gun I just have a brain.

App has lost to VMI too, that doesn't mean they should be invited to FBS. Has Liberty, with all their advantages in facilities and now COA, ever made it past the 2nd round of the FCS playoffs? The Flames have done well to compete at a high level in the Big South but I don't feel you can compare the two programs when it comes to success.

You have really made a breakthrough, if we just ban guns on school campuses there will never be another shooting on a campus. Oh wait, guns have been banned on all the school campuses that shootings have taken place at in the past. I can't believe that didn't work. What's the world coming to when you can't count on a crazed lunatic with mass murder on his mind to abide by state and local gun laws. I know, maby we should outlaw mass murder. That will stop them. Oh wait mass murders is against the law already. Can't believe they don't obey that law either. I'm not a gun nut and I do believe in background checks but to say you "have a brain" and then imply that gun bans will stop gun violance is kind of absurd.

I didn't imply anything of the sort and your statement is what is absurd. What I did say is that I think it is a VERY bad idea to have a few thousand kids on a campus carrying guns. Alcohol, drugs, and 18 year old kids with guns just is not a good idea to anyone who is really thinking this through. Do you really want to be on campus on a football weekend ?

I really just wanted to talk (bash) Akron who we play on September 24th in Ohio. If the team mates periodically shoot one another, then perhaps their team chemistry will be off. :lol:

So, since laws against mass murder aren't 100% effective against mass murder - the laws are worthless? We'd be in the same place if murder were legal?

The point about outlawing guns on campus isn't that it will be 100% effective against eliminating murders, accidental shootings, etc. No law is 100% effective. You're right! But, that's not the standard, nor should it be.

If guns are banned on campus... and someone is walking through a class building with a gun - the authorities can be alerted and they can determine whether there is a threat or not.

If guns are not banned - someone carrying a gun on campus isn't suspicious and there's no way to know if someone is a threat or not until they start firing.

"A few thousand kids on campus carrying guns" would not happen. The people who would be allowed to carry on campus would be those who already have concealed carry permits. These people have to be at least 21 years of age, and have taken a course and passed a test on how to safely carry a firearm. Allowing guns on campus is NOT allowing every student to carry a gun, it just allows those who CAN legally carry a gun everywhere else they go, to carry one of campus as well.

I don't disagree with your statement at all. No law will ever be 100 percent effective. My point is that people who are bent on mass murder aren't going to care about gun laws. Every time one of these horrible events occurr we wasn't our time and energy trying to stop them by banning guns our by banning guns in certain places. People who really want a gun are going to get a gun. Pot and cocain are completely illegal in our society but people have no problem obtaining either. Point is, people who "have a brain" should be open minded enough to see that gun bans don't stop lunatics bent on mass murder and move on to trying to find something that will stop them.

One more thought. How many people in this gun free zone get killed while they are waiting on someone with a gun to show up and defend them?

You have to hand it to the NRA. All the money they have spent to convince people that the solution is more guns has certainly reached at least their target audience.

I just want to know how an accidental shooting in Ohio has turned into an attack on a school in Virginia?
