Since it is a crime to have a gun on campus, it is safe to be there, isn't it. Of course nobody would break the law.
The killer knew that no law-abiding people would be armed.

The unfortunate shooting in Virginia shouldn't be turned into a gun control debate...by anyone...on either side of the issue...it has nothing to do with gun control. What happened at Virginia Tech is about an emotionally troubled young man, getting lost in the system. Cho's creative writing teacher did her part in referring him to a counselor and the counselor apparently dropped the ball by not referring to some kind of mental health professional or following up on his case.

Australia introduced tougher gun laws, following the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. Gun-related deaths have *halved* in Australia, dropping to under 300 a year, in the last 10 years.

Gun laws are for law abiding citizens. The murderers can always get hold of a gun if they want one.

I agree with you i believe we need to have the right to protect ourselves i think if someone had a gun there would of been less victims .i hope the laws will change where teachers can carry guns and protect there class.
