The news is dominated this morning by the shooting at Virginia Tech.... Whilst I think the event is horrendous, you have to wonder about the mindset of the American people when they allow such events to occur with no gun control.
Why do people for no reason whatsoever need a gun? Clearly this guy was emotionally unstable and depressed and he takes it out on the community. He should never had easy access to the means to do this in the first place. With the increasing firepower available to American citizens, these type of events will only get worse. Columbine had victims numbering in the teens, this incident in the low 30's. The next nutter (and I would bet that there will be a copy cat) will plan it better and perhaps will take out 50+.
When will Americans learn that this is so easy to prevent from happening... but when I think about it and how Bush again supports the National Rifle Assoc in the US, I cant help but make the flippant comment "Stupid is as stupid does".
Grow up America... you are no longer under threat from British Colonials and American Indians... you have no need to retain the "Right To Bear Arms".
