College professor told me all guns should be illegal and nobody should be allowed to own one

What the heck is wrong with America?

Why is it that no where else in the western world has an issue with substantial gun control except America.

EVERY SINGLE ARGUMENT YOU MAKE FOR GUNS HAS BEEN PROVEN FALSE BY THE REST OF THE WORLD!

The sooner you understand that and get rid of guns the better off you will be.

And as for it being a second amendment right - they are called amendments for a reason - they’ve been changed once and can be changed again.

This.

Not everywhere is boston or san Fran.

Trig is also college-only in my state.

I dont think any high school in my state offers trigonometry or calculus unless you go to the fancy State School of Math and Sciences, which is a private high school that costs 60k per year in tuition.

This is sadder than any right or left wing extremist views on gun control.

I grew up in a very conservative state (very handy with a rifle, btw) and both trigonometry and calculus were offered in every school, not just the private ones.

Goodness, BYU Physics Professor, I can tell you don't teach in the English or Philosophy Department. I really was trying to briefly explain my position on gun control (not taking away of the Second Amendment) & you make it about race.

I am not pro-evil (which, by the way, you falsely attach to African Americans). Maybe, it's the adverse & I'm pro-good. I believe in humanity. I do know people have the capability to do bad, & the gun accelerates the carnage by the bad person (unlike almost any other inanimate object out there).

Meanwhile, I was raised around guns. (I grew-up in rural America. My brothers were hunters. We had a shotgun & a 22 rifle in our house. No gun safe. Leaning against the wall. With children running around. Sigh.)

I did not say anything about unarming anyone. I believe you can have your gun in your house. You should NOT have your gun in the grocery store, the car, the sidewalk, the library, or the school/university.

I think, too, there should be greater education to buy a gun as well. A person with a gun should have to take education & training classes to have the gun...in their house. Other countries, as well, make it mandatory to have a gun safe in the house as well. This is a good idea as well (see my paragraph about growing up around guns with no gun safe).

Your low functioning POS,

So my college professor gave a big anti gun rant on Friday. He said nobody should be allowed to own a gun if any kind. Even revolvers. He said guns are the biggest problem in the usa and they need to be permanently banned and this is the main reason why we are one of the worst countries in the world to live in.

Thoughts? Do colleges intentionally search for teachers like this?

Amazing how this thinly veiled troll post has gotten such heated responses...

No, he's wrong. The biggest problem with the US is the education system.

Either we're not teaching basic math skills like trigonometry to kids that are college-bound,

or we're accepting (even funneling) kids into college who didn't manage mastery of simple math skills in high school.

Both mistakes are massive disservices to these kids.

This is insane. Please seek mental help.

Agreed. Its insane how far the libs will go to take away our rights.

My college prof FORCES me to store my open carry AR-15 when I try to bring it into lecture. The school went OUT OF ITS WAY to accommodate me with my demands to open carry. If this isn't excess government waste I don't know what is.

Soon, hetero marriages will be banned and male and female LIFE partners will be FORCED apart to find same sex partners.

I agree. If you want to hunt I think you should have to rent a gun from the feds and buy their bullets.

A more likely answer is self-selection. Groupthink is every bit as powerful a policing mechanism as explicit rule-setting...

Australia did it. Where are their mass shootings?

Charlesvdw wrote:

It is also the European view on guns.

School shootings are extremely rare over there.

So, your point is that it works?

You believe in humanity? So did Adolf Hitler. Surely there is something more but I don't know if you can mention it on LRC. That is the real problem and don't give me this leaning to the left stuff.

So said the other 1% of the population poisoning our youth on the internet.

your problem arent gun laws but a broken society. the rich dont want to pay for the healthcare and mental care of the others. They dont want to pay for good schools, good prison programs and an inclusive society. They have no sense of love for their neighbour even though they claim to be christian. guns are only amplifying this problem. They dont pose a problem in itself

I mostly agree with your professor, except for those citizens whom are a member of a state militias. I disagree with the current Supreme Court's view that the second amendment extends the right to individuals and not a collective. I think that unless an individual has taken classes to train them to protect people, if not, then they don't need to own any gun(s) period.

Australia did ban guns, but the # of violent killings of humans remains the same. Why is that?

Why do liberals like to end their rants with "sad" and "sigh?"

Also, this was a trigonometry class and right in the middle of his math lecture

Wtf???
