A summery of the panel conclusions on the Va Tech shootings (more precisely how the media is spinning the conclusions...) with a link to the actual report. I said media spin, because for example, the list below says the panel recommends
"Ban guns on all campus grounds and buildings." What the report actually says is: VI-5 The Virginia General Assembly should adopt legislation in the 2008 session clearly establishing the right of every institution of higher education in the Commonwealth to regulate the possession of firearms on campus if it so desires. The panel recommends that guns be banned on campus grounds and in buildings unless mandated by law. BTW, guns were banned on campus already, yet amazingly, it didn't prevent the shootings. Perhaps a double secret ban will work?! An extra extra Gun Free Zone perhaps? Thoughts? Associated Press - August 30, 2007 5:15 AM ET Key findings and recommendations by the state panel that reviewed the Va. Tech shootings: FINDINGS: Tech administrators failed to notify students and staff of a dangerous situation in a timely way; the first message sent by the university to students and faculty could have been sent at least an hour earlier and been more detailed. Virginia Tech's emergency response plan did not anticipate a mass shooting and police were not in the emergency decision-making hierarchy.
