Yeah - I feel like I wanna get a gun, too.
My fears are not unfounded because who do they usually shoot first???
The teacher . . .
There are plenty of unstable "kids" that I have seen at our college, in fact some of them have written essays that are concerning to me. We had a kid that for all intensive purposes was so similar to the shooter from VA Tech that I was kinda scared to have this kid in my class. He wrote an essay in my class that was full of violence and contained statements that he felt so angry sometimes that he "literally could kill someone."
Frankly, it was little surprise to me when he was kicked out of school for terroristic threats the week of the VA Tech tragedy. He got mad school and told everyone in the class that there was gonna be "another VA Tech". At least he wasn't in my class when this happened.
