That's absolute and utter bullshit. What you're saying is an insult to the memory of the victims of this tragic act. Look at the frecking facts. Virginia has very loose gun laws, no waiting period and a background check system that is simply a joke. What that guy did is go off campus, literally across the street to get the first pistol. Then 25 miles away to get the second one. I'm surprised he didn't go to Christianburg Arms and Ammo - they have a drive through window. The only way gun control works is if its applied the same everywhere on a national basis. Otherwise its too easy to get around state and local level laws. And there are too many people who equate their firearms with their manhood (or more likely lack thereof) to let that happen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:232815 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
