To answer your question, yes I have been to a college and did earn a degree. It is not the college kids that are crazy, it is the lack of discipline and political correctness that makes you think colleges are crazy. Let me ask you this Joseph, do you also think we never landed on the moon right?
When kids graduate high school and go on to college they think they are grown up and ready for the world. And in fact they are not ready and they don’t even know what real world. The society can not wait to let them loose, live on their own, and make rational decisions etc. And the result, with the new found freedom they party like there is no tomorrow.
Most of the solders that are fighting in Iraq are about the same age as the kids attending college theses days. If you can trust them with gun, why can’t we with some student who are not in Iraq?.. Yes there is a different between a trained soldier and a college student. The difference can easily negated with adequate training. I never suggested putting the gun in a crazy kid. You do a background check, do a psych evaluation and require training before you put a gun in somebody hand.
Guns don’t kill people. A gun is an inanimate object that cannot do anything itself. Gun in the hands of crazies like Cho kills people. Taking guns away from the hands of responsible, law abiding citizens are not the way to reduce gun crime. All you have to do is look at other countries (UK, Canada, Australia) that implemented gun control. Gun crimes went up when guns went away. Why?, because criminals who intend on doing harm will obtain weapons no matter how much controls there are in place. With gun control all you are doing in leaving law abiding citizens defenseless in a situation.
There are examples of guns actually saving lives… But you would not hear those stories on the Crescent News Network (CNN)

Whenever I've seen one of those "Gun-free Zone" signs, especially outside of a school filled with our youngest and most vulnerable citizens, I've always wondered exactly who these signs are directed at. Obviously, they don't mean much to the sort of man who murdered 32 people just a few days ago. - Fred Thompson (United States senator from Tennessee)
On lighter note: What a tribute to VT
