January. 1st 2011
New York doesn’t need anymore laws governing legal guns. A better approach is to teach kids, at a very young age, to respect guns for the dangerous weapons they are, or better put, can be. At the risk of being cliche-ish, guns are only as bad or as dangerous as the person holding them.

They were able to steal merchandise and knock out two of the 19-year old student’s teeth for two principal reasons: 1) Armed robbers are always armed, and 2) Georgia Tech students are never allowed to have firearms on campus.
