I don't mean they whack job that bought the gun, I mean the laws that prevent law abding people (faculty, staff, and students) from carrying concealed weapons. If one other person had a legal gun, would 31 people be dead today?

Ya, more guns is clearly the answer. Americans...
You know they're saying nothing like this has happened in S. Korea before and it's likely true. Not from lack of trying though. My brother in laws highschool (my wife is S. Korean) hired gangsters to beat up the teachers there once years ago. S. Koren schools are like Nazi camps. Thing is if they'd had guns, it would have happened many times already. Just get rid of your friggin guns already. How many times does it have to be proven?

sure it did... IT FAILED those 32 reliable people who have been SLAUGHTERED. V-Tech enforces a no weapon coverage. because of the fact of that, people, like myself who attend the same college, and have concealled weapons facilitates, obey the governed and did no longer carry. the only guy or woman who substitute into wearing substitute into the guy who substitute into making plans to homicide and did no longer care what rules or rules he broke. Now, you won't be able to tell me that if there have been 2 or 3 people interior the area who have been legally wearing, they does no longer have been waiting to neutralize the possibility and save a minimum of a few lives. i might IN A HEARTBEAT. you in addition to would can no longer tell me that if weapons have been extra valuable controlled, those issues might dissapear... the day earlier on the instant, Japan, the mayor of NAgasaki substitute into shot via a gang member. weapons have been banned in Japan for some years. Gun crime remains consumer-friendly with gangs and different criminals, however the truthful electorate are defenseless. AND... how is a countrywide registration of handguns going to supply up crime???? They already do the tests, yet how is the government being waiting to work out who owns what weapons, going to even deter crime??

I think it certainly would have changed the outcome for some people. If they were allowed to carry on campus, someone would have been able to take the shooter down. I used to be so against it until I went to my self defense class at college. In that situation, the only thing that will help you is a gun. I think laws should be changed for law abiding citizens to be able to carry legally. Most people who commit these types of crimes are not carrying legally anyway. So, allowing others to carry isn't going to increase the number of deaths, if anything it may decrease it.

its really hard to say, when they do a background search on you and you have no record they can sell you a gun, noone can predict what a person is gonna do when anger takes control of them, many ppl who you think would never do this you cant say that because if they never went thru a bad trauma or let anger get them or society you dont know what they will do. When ppl are hurt and think they cant go to anyone for help and they want to end thier life usually they attack the area that caused it. its sad and its wrong but what can you do

There are no adequate gun control laws in Virginia and it is one stupid idea to load every person with a gun. Better to take the guns out of the hands of people than arm them.
No other country in the world is so enamored with guns like you Americans. Until this so called glorification of the gun is removed from the minds of Americans, this kind of tragedy will continue. VTech now opens the door more more copy cat killings as has happened before.

I think every law-abiding citizen should be able to carry a sidearm - concealed or otherwise. If Ryan Clark had been packing heat he could have stopped Cho in the dorm. Everybody should at least familiarize themselves with firearms. You never know when knowledge of firearms will come in handy.

No, we're fools for thinking that taking the guns out of peoples hands will rid our society of hatred and killing. His mental problem was deep and if he didn't have access to a gun, he would have used something else.

Yes, I do believe you are correct to a certain degree. If EVERY student and or teacher had a gun then yes there would be far less people dead.

Somewhat yes,but why would a kid have a gun in his room on a campus anyway?Who allowed that to happen?Sounds to me like campus security needs to be tightened on every campus everywhere to prevent such tradgedies from happening...

i think that they should have guns and other forms of defense with them no matter where they go. if they dont feel safe after what happened, then they need to bring it up. the coward started a shootout b/c his girlfriend broke up with him and i heard that she was his first victim. he shot her at point blank range.
