Today at about 11:30 at night while I was walking to the store, I had a guy come up to me essentially try to start a fight with me. He came up to me on the street in a menacing manner and basically gave me the whole “HEY WHERE’RE YOU GOING” speech while standing literally two inches from my face and not letting me past. Now obviously this guy had no idea who I am, and that I have had this sort of thing happen to me in the rough parts of Detroit before, so he was taken aback by the fact that I held my ground and didn’t even flinch, So after about 30 seconds of standing two inches from my face, and me not budging, he eventually called me a “fucking freak”, and walked away.
This whole incident reminds me once again that there is just no way that the police, or what Bob Allen calls the Blue Gun Thugs, can possibly do an effective job of protecting the populace. Usually all the Blue Gun Thugs can do is go to the scene of the crime after the fact, investigate, and try to catch the criminal after the crime has happened. They have almost no ability to prevent a crime from happening. And here it’s even worse, because there are only 3 police in the entire town, yet none of the students are allowed to be armed. I just have to say that I’m just glad that I’m 6′ 1″ with a lean, athletic 170 lb body, and most of all — an unparalleled tolerance for pain which has won me almost every fight I have ever gotten into in the past.
Anyway, there’s almost no protection here except for your own fists. And that isn’t going to do you a lot of good if the other guy manages to get a weapon onto campus.
Anyway, back to the Blue Gun Thugs. The Blue Gun Thugs have almost no ability to prevent crime from happening. The only thing that can do that is an armed society. Now because I go to this ridiculous college I’m not allowed to carry a weapon here, but I can guarantee you that if people did generally carry weapons here, the incident that happened to me today would not have happened. Therefore not only do I believe in the Second Amendment, I believe that the Second Amendment is something that does not stop when one walks onto a college campus. It might stop when one enters college-owned buildings, but when one is out and about on a public street which happens to coincide with the campus, like I was today, it certainly does not stop, even though college officials delude themselves into thinking that it stops.
It says “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” And obviously there is a reason for that, and the reason is what I just told you about today.
You are right about the blue gun thugs not being able to protect anyone. The guy on the street might even have been a blue gun thug trying to get you into a fight to arrest you for assaulting an officer.
At the college where my son attended there were groups of hispanic hot heads that would attack college students walking home from the local bar late at night. One night my son and his friend were walking home and a car drove up with 5 or 6 mexican men and two females they were trying to impress. Now my son is nobody to mess around with. The owner of the building they were in front of had to repaint to cover the blood stains on his building. A meat wagon was called to pick up the carnage. The females were not impressed. My son and his friend weren’t hurt, hardly broke a sweat.
Sometimes you don’t need arms, but if the Mexican idiots had been armed he might have needed to use his.

Bob,
you sound like an asshole bragging about your gay son. Luke, the school you go to is not dangerous, you are not physically intimidating in the least – get over yourself.

As far as the “danger level” of the college campus I would place it in between the surrounding area, and that of your typical American city, obviously leaning toward the former.
Still, there are unfortunately a lot of troublemakers here because of the college students and also there are some kids who aren’t students who live right next to the campus who often cause trouble.
There have been break-ins, people who get drunk and start fights, vandals, etc., etc. In fact I myself had somebody break into my room and steal 100 dollars while I was sleeping during my junior year. These two guys broke into my room and took 100 dollars and almost got away with my electric violin as well, which costs over $1000.
I will give you the fact that crime out here is not as bad as it is in a city. But it’s still bad enough that I feel that the arming of the student body would get rid of a lot of it.
So I don’t think you’re ever going to convince me that the student body should not be armed. We wouldn’t even have to use the arms, just the threat of them would be enough drive crime down dramatically.
