      I was about to post this story.... glad I read through the threads.... I was wondering if Alabama had "Gun Free Campuses". What a JOKE.... So sad and utterly senseless that innocent lives are lost over stupid laws!

        Actually, it seems AL doesn't statutorily ban carry on campus, but as we all know outside of UT there are only a handful of universities that actually allow it as a policy.

            Let's all contact The Huntsville Times and pose the question, "Why wasn't there a concealed-carrier present to stop the shooter, and save lives?"

              Kind of shabby to kick them when the wounds are still fresh, don't you think?

                Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

                    Not at all. That point needs to be made every time one of these attacks happens.

                    Of course, all compassionate people have sympathy for the victims of this outrageous attack. But what good is sympathy, if we don't do anything which could help prevent such events in the future.
                    We cannot allow our public policy decision making (vis a vis CCW, in this case, which is what I was addressing) to be lured into the realm of emotional responses and reactions.

                    We must learn from this event, and attempt to alter public policy in such a way as to make it less likely to occur again, thereby, hopefully, reducing the number of future victims.

                      Try re-reading your post from the view of an anti, your entire statement could have been said by someone such as Paul Helmke or Diane Feinstein.

                      This is a tragedy and calling for political action or blaming the school board for what happened is not going to make any friends. Even Feinstein knew enough to not push an anti-gun agenda after the Oakland PD shootings.

                        I'm sorry. I don't quite see the connection.

                          The attacker was a professor. A graduate from Harvard too. I doubt we hear much from the Brady Bunch on this one. She was practically one of them. This is what happens when you create gun free zones. All defenseless except for the disgruntled nut case.

                            No! There should be mobs in the streets. Every child, parent, grandparent, father , mother, needs to be outraged at the senseless polices of the state. Looking at the legislators to enact laws allowing for self protection. The higherups at the university needs a public whipping in the parking lot. No, we are not being callous when we ask for the heads of the ones that spawn the victims.

                            To the Families of the dead, My prayers are with you!

                              Latest news ... She murdered her colleagues with a 9mm pistol.

                              The Boston Globe is reporting that in December 1986, when she was 20 years old, Bishop shot her 18-year-old brother to death. She was unloading a shotgun in the family home in the presence of their mother. The shooting was ruled an accidental death.

                              Well, I guess this time she won't get away with murder.

                              RIP to all her victims and their families and a speedy recovery to the wounded.

                                I'll bet the record will eventually show this woman was an undiagnosed psychopath. Upon reflection, her associates will probably recognize warning signs that they previously dismissed.
