Reply #2: I would suggest a controlled social experiment, for society's edification . [View All]

Let's allow 50,000 of the most vociferous, hardcore supporters of the 2nd Amendment/RKBA/CCW rally with full loaded weaponry at any one of the major college football venues. Make it a big rally with speeches from the NRA, just to get the juices flowing. Without warning, randomly introduce a dozen strings of lit firecrackers simultaneously throughout the stadium and lets see what happens. I would predict that we'd witness something akin to Chaos Theory that, once underway, is impossible to stop. We could expand the experiment and duplicate in various regions of the country to control for geographic location and cultural factors to see if the results are repeatable.

If there are no casualties resulting from this experiment, I will consider my assumptions on guns and civilian armed populations to be misguided and that there is indeed no threat to arming the entire US population.

If it is a disaster of horrifying magnitude, then I think we can all agree that arming an entire campus of 18 year olds might not be a good idea.
