If the woman had had a gun this never would have happened

I, for one, can't think of a more ideal situation than a shootout between a bunch of drunk people at a bowl game party

[ReVo]

If she hadn't had a gun she wouldn't have been able to shoot that other lady, so she probably would have only stabbed her a few dozen times.

Or do what most drunks do around the world when there are no guns, throw a punch or 2. Sure that can kill too but the chances are much smaller before they would have broken it up.

I really don't think this lady would have bulked if the victim was packing. Did she wave the gun around for a bit or did she just pull it out and shoot? If she waved it around for a bit then sure maybe she might have backed down, or it might have made her shot first if the victim had pulled one on her. If she pulled it out and shot the victim quickly, what good would the victim having a gun do?

You obviously don't understand

Widespread availability of guns makes everybody safer

America is a perfect example

At the risk of starting a gun control debate (I'm sorry Skuzzy)

It's interesting that the UK has a higher rate of violent crime with all it's gun control laws then the US does. So do a number of other countries with strict gun control. More people are killed here with baseball bats and knives then firearms anyway, and a lot more are killed by drunk driving. Only reason firearms get all the attention is because it's a "sexier" topic for the news.

I always thought the Texas/OU rivalry was bad when growing up. Then I saw the Michigan/OSU rivalry with Woody and BO and thought.. Nope that one is worse. Then while stationed in Arizona I came up on the
 UA/ASU rivalry and thought nothing could get be a ridiculous as it. Then I found the Iron Bowl. Now that's just pure hate for hates sake.

Why am I not surprised this happens in the South, more specifically over football.

Well you asked..

Because you're too narrow minded to realize things like this happen all over the world when it comes to sports. Plus you feel you're superior to people from the South for whatever reason and this is your big chance to somehow morally justify your own misplaced prejudices??

Effin tragic is what it is.  I'm am a diehard Bama fan as any other (reasonable people) and never considered something no evil or extreme after a loss.

Please expound on your cryptic comment for me.  I grew up in Alabama and probably just too dumb to catch your underlying meaning.  Spell it out in big letters for me please - you know I am not that bright; being from the south and all....

The LSU-Arkansas rivalry is probably our most contentious. Don't recall anybody losing their life over any of the "battle for the boot" outcomes though.

During the season I said I'd be happy with all of our losses if we could just beat LSU. Came dang close to pulling it off, but blew it with weak talent and poor play calls in the 4th quarter. Started playing "not to lose" instead of playing to "win", gets you beat every time.

BTW bright star - the proper punctuation for your sentence is "?".
