A community college about 30 miles north of Dallas has been put on lockdown after reports of gunfire.

An e-mail alert, sent shortly after 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to students and staff of the Collin County Community College District, warned that shots had been fired and that the central campus in McKinney was closed.

The e-mail said: "Shots fired. Campus on lockdown. Cops on the scene. Details to follow."

America's gun culture strikes again

[Pavulon]

1. Gun culture? Try drug or fuck you buddy culture..

dollars to donuts drug shit or someone who has no access to quality mental care (ie fuck you culture because we dont pay for this).

You dont even have a body to hop on yet and are already making the call?

[AlbertCat]

2. And with the 1st comment...the gun culture strikes yet again!

[Lightning Count]

3. If this turns out to be firecrackers

Does that mean this is part of the American firecracker culture? What about nail guns? Are they covered under the American gun culture? Most likely this will come up under America's law breaking culture.

4. That would be an educated person, D voter, and generally nice guy

who has a degree in materials engineering, has worked for nuclear facilities, aerospace companies on 3 continents and taken more lie detector tests than most. Done 2 fill SSBIs, pretty much meet the bar to own a firearm.

Oh, I read the article, asshole drove up to a police station and started shooting. They shot him..

Like I said, criminal or mental. None have anything to do with my right to own a firearm.

7. Please don't stand in the way of the agenda by waving the

FACTS around like that, makes the soft headed look bad.

[SteveM]

22. Ah, another cat in the crypt? I think it's going to... P-h-h-HEW!

[movonne]

24. Plus two...

[Aristus]

5. "Cover me; I'm headin' to my ten o'clock..."

Guns don't kill people; people kill people. But if people used squirt guns instead of real guns, we'd all be just a little bit wet, instead of a lot of dead...

[Pavulon]

6. You guys want it real bad. Its like you think this makes a case for you..

the number of people killed by criminals has nothing to do with legal ownership. Just like the DWI dead have no bearing on my ability to enjoy a nice cold beer without smashing into a vanload of kids.

Criminals doing criminal shit:

8. Suicide by cop?

9. If only the 46,000 students were all armed. nt

[Pavulon]

10. They have two arms..right?

now how does this have anything to do with legal ownership.

The "if only everyone were armed" comment is now like "first" comment on a thread. There is always someone...

[slackmaster]

12. The shooter allegedly attacked only the campus police station

He was stopped by armed police.

[onehandle]

13. Good. Could have been worse. nt

[slackmaster]

14. Impossible. Nobody except the campus police is allowed to have a lethal weapon on campus.

15. At least the terrorist went out doing what he loved best, shooting a gun

[SteveM]

20. It seems you are doing what you love best...

Waiting breathlessly for any violent person using a gun (certainly not a knife) -- then attacking people you hate. Why do you hate so very much? Can you answer that? You hate fellow liberal/progressive Democrats, so you must hate many, many more people. I have found that prohibitionists use the Right Wing Christian line: "We don't hate the sinner, we hate the sin." You hate the thing, so that you might hate the user/possessor of the thing with some sort of immunity. But you, we, all of us know better.

You are no different.

17. Did the NRA shoot someone?

IRA, CIA, or TSA? Which TLA is behind this?

[cowman]

18. I belong to the NRA

and I would love for you to say that to my face, amazing how brave these posters get when they don't have to face someone

[SteveM]

21. He ain't gonna do a thing...

He's a coward who, when his character is challenged, will go "sarcastic," wonder about your "thin skin," or move on to do some punkin' on another thread. His/her kind can be put into one of 2 categories: (1) culture warrior/prohibitionist hater, or (2) punker who really doesn't give a damn about this issue as long as it services his feelings. Not much to choose from.

[proteus_lives]

19. How are they involved?

Seriously, try to explain it.

[virginia mountainman]

23. Another complete failure of the "gun free zone"..

[east texas lib]

25. Sorry there wasn't a huge body count for you to parade around...

Unrec for impossibly broad smear.

[friendly_iconoclast]

26. Blaming all members of a group for the actions of some? A cheap, cynical political ploy

People don't attempt this with car owners as a group when someone kills himself car surfing, or plows into a crowd at a bus stop, or
wipes out a minivan full of kids after having a bellyful of vodka.

Presumably because there is no embittered, vocal minority out there that hates cars and despises drivers...
