When May I Shoot a Student?---A must-read masterpiece of weaponized snark.

70. Hey! I'm from Los Angeles.

Guns and kids. How could our gangs manage without them?

All said and done, it's not that hard for minors to get a hold of guns.

Look at the statistics. Look at the numbers of minors who die from gunshot wounds. In a large percentage of the cases, the kids got their guns from their parents. In fact, kids who die from gunshot wounds before the age of 10 almost always have either their own or some other kid's parents to thank for access to the death weapon.

And with university students, you are dealing with a relatively mature demographic. We aren't talking about the really young kids in high school like, say Trayvon Martin. We are talking about kids with the maturity to live on their own away from home. We are talking about kids who had the grades and the SAT scores to get accepted to college. Almost grown-up.

I wouldn't worry too much about how the kids will get possession of guns. Parents buy their college-bound kids' cars, computers, clothes and alcohol. Why not guns? Just another necessity for the college-bound crowd. Like a seasons' ticket for the football games.

Besides, if other kids on campus get to have guns, how could a loving parent refuse to buy one for his kid? Doesn't have to be in the kid's name. Is there any law against loaning your gun to your offspring? If there were, when would kids learn to shoot? Or do you think that should be a course taught on campus once the kid is old enough to buy his own? Hey! Another profit stream for the universities. Charge extra for the marksmanship classes.

When all is said and done, what responsible parent would want to send his 17-year-old daughter to a campus without a gun? If the other students are allowed to shoot their way to their college degree, wouldn't you seriously want your child to have the opportunity to do the same?
