The Virginia Tech shootings

Yesterday morning a tragedy struck the campus of Virginia Technological University in Blacksburg, VA. A lone mass murderer, a student, killed 32 people then himself. At this time they do not know why. All we know is that he used a gun.

No doubt this will renew calls for a ban on guns. With a Democrat-controlled Congress it may just happen. They love to glom onto such tragedies as an excuse to micromanage our lives.

Think about this; what if someone else had a gun and had been able to return fire? Of course that is not practical. It is against Campus regulations to have a firearm. Sure stopped that student, didn't it?
