No, because I don't live in America.

Nope. I live in the VA

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

No, it's ridiculous to live in constant fear and paranoia. It's not like it can't happen, it's just that the chances of me being caught in a mass shooting are very slim. Also, it's hard to avoid crowded public places and go to a university to get my education.

I think I love you...

It has always been in the back of my mind. Ever since that Colorado shooting, it's caused me to approach things differently.

I still go to public places like malls, the movies, etc, like I normally would. But I'm checking exits, mentally making my escape route, and on lookout for anything suspicious. It sounds paranoid, but I'm not taking any chances, but I'm also not gonna sacrifice enjoying my life for some crazy -blam!-s who are sick in the head.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

no

No i'm not worried at all for two reasons.

First, I live in a smaller town (population of less then 4000) so the chances it would happen are small. Not saying it couldn't happen, but still highly unlikely. Second, I am a registered to concealed carry, and most times, I have a 45ACP hidden on me.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

No, because I'm in the South and everyone carries.

.45 ACP... Because shooting twice is just silly.

No, there are more likely and terrifying possibilities. My school got a bomb threat recently.

I just don't go where I know there could be trouble. If I had to at some point, I would be sure to conceal carry (I turn 21 in April).

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

No. I am not going to get caught in a rampage shooting. I live in Texas. We all have guns. If anybody goes on a rampage, It'll be five or six shots until the gunman is dead. Hardly a rampage - and even that is pushing it, because everybody knows that a good percentage of people here are packing.

Yeah, you got a gun? So does everybody else. Big freaking deal. You'll get off a few rounds and be shot by a bystander.

I go to college. I think its overblown how much these type of tragedies actually happen, though I wish they didnt happen at all since any loss of innocent life is not acceptable.

Nonetheless, what is more likely to stop another attack. A gun free school zone with a sign that says "this is a gun free school zone" and you will basically be met with no resistance, or a sign that said "warning: all staff are trained and heavily armed and any violence will be met with deadly force"?

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

Statistically it is improbable, but as I am a human who cannot fully understand statistics I think that I am an exception and am worried.

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

Not me, if it happens it happens I guess. Ignorance is bliss, and I would rather not live in fear all the time. It could happen any time, any where so I don't see any use in hiding.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Actually yeah. There's a lot of drunk homeless psychos in this town. My workplace has gotten many 'threats' over the years.

Nope, not unless I was in a class with my cousin. He has the same mental issue as the guy that shot up that school in Newtown.

Honestly, I don't think anybody (I know of) would do that. Because they're not insane.
Your first statement and second statement seem to contradict each other.

lol.

Im not worried one bit.
