Big CIA facility in Centreville. Coincidence? I think not.

Do I get credit for the first conspiracy theory?

In the aftermath of tragedy, small minded people always try to allocate blame. I suppose it’s part of the healing process. As a rationally minded individual, I generally tend to blame the person responsible. In the case of yesterday’s atrocity, that person was the murderer. If, however, we MUST direct blame to a certain group, then I propose the Gun Control Lobby.

By restricting guns all across America, they’ve turned Americans into herds of defenseless victims like sheep to the slaughter. I'm a combat veteran, a taxpaying citizen, and I have a concealed carry permit. If more people with concealed carry permits were at VA Tech yesterday, much of the tragedy could have been averted. Alas, even people with permits can’t legally carry on a college campus. Thus, only criminals (i.e. Cho Seung-Hui) will have guns. We’ve all head the “if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns” cliché. In this instance, I think the proof is in the pudding. Any thoughts?

random acts of violence like VA Tech can't be solved by banning guns, but rather identify why people are going apesh**. So does it make sense that those who want to withdrawal from the Middle East also want to ban guns?

That we should NOT amend the constitution to ban guns? I mean, personally, I don't own a gun because I don't feel I need one. But the choice is there for me if I wanted one. I have a choice. However, if we start messing around and amending the constitution to ban guns - that would scare me - because to me, that would mean they could amending it to eliminate our other rights. Does anyone else agree with me?

Does it mean that there will be no more terrorism in the world? Does it mean that a certain number of people will be killed?
If Iraq ever achieves a stable government, have we won the war on terror?

It's not the law abiding RESPONSIBLE gun carriers that do this...it's those that buy them on the black market....

What if you were living in a country occupied by the Nazis in WWII (for example)?
The resistance fighters then saw themselves as freedom fighters, not terrorists.

Why do I read everywhere how bad the effect of immigrants is on our country (UK)? Having travelled to some of the worlds poorest countries, and seen for myself what these guys are running away from, I have no problem whatsoever. Every day we are clean and fed and looked after by services, something that many of these people would never have. I am happy for some of my taxes to go towards helping people in need. After all I am sitting in my heated office at my computer with a cup of tea. And no war on my doorstep, so who am I to complain?

I am trying to keep a tally of the unsavory tactics and conduct of the White House involving the Bush administration and their associates. A lot of acts of cronyism at play here involving the Commander in Chief.

The latest ones, of course, involves Gonzales and Paul Wolfowitz.

It's a long and dirty laundry list so I don't want to miss out on any.

After yesterdays school massacre what do Americans think there should be stricter gun control laws. I know that there have been many incidents like this in the US and that working class black areas have long been plagued by gun crime. I know that in the US people see it as their constitutional right to bear arms but this was written in the 1700's and technology has made weapons much more deadly since then. Where I live in Ireland there are problems with gun crime but on nowhere near the same scale as in the US. There is a lot of violent crime involving knives and other weapons here and I know for a fact that if people here had easier access to guns that crime would instantly rocket as criminals would have access to more deadly force. What price are Americans prepared to pay for their right to bear arms as I am aware that at the time of the Vietnam war that more Americans died from guncrime at home than died in Vietnam.

Now that Germany has admitted it's attempts to sway Iran have failed and like most of the EU they are unable to find a way of dealing with them perhaps Pelosi will not waste taxpayers money trying to influence Iran. Her real reason for going may be to collect for her defaming our troops and president. Maybe she wants nice suits like the british captives were given. They could help her look more like a president than speaker of the house.
