		<description>That is stupid! If you actuially think that taking away guns from HONEST citizens is the answer I do not agree.

If guns are outlawed...the only people WITH guns is going to be the OUTLAWS! 

Think about this....if they don&#039;t have a gun, then anything else will do....a hammer, chainsaw, etc. You really cannot stop a murder ahead of time if the person in question is determined to carry it out and they are smart enough to act cool until they do, like this guy did. </description>

		<description>The saying &quot;do unto others as you would have them do unto you&quot; means NOT TO BULLY and make fun of less fortunate people, etc.&quot; (along with other things I&#039;m sure)

When someone kills a lot of people like that - even though it is found most were insane - they are still punished as if they were normal.  I have no problem with that.

As a former child in school that so  many people rejected and made fun of - I&#039;ll tell you this IT LEAVES a lasting IMPRESSION on your heart the rest of your life.  I&#039;m almost 60 years old and when I feel like I&#039;m being rejected or made fun of &quot;my heart still aches&quot;.

I believe from kindergarden even through college - that administrators should ban bullies from their schools.  These bullies usually have &quot;fan clubs&quot; that help in chanting and laughing - they need to go to.  There should be schools in every state where those types of people ARE TOGETHER and they can just fight all they&#039;d like !!!

What I&#039;m saying is - if kids were not so cruel and mean - a lot of these senseless murders would probably not happen - especially if the person they demean has personality disorders or other mental
problems.  Some parents don&#039;t just teach their children they are equl - THEY evidently teach them they are better than others !!

Nothing hurts as bad as going to a school being picked on while a group of popular, well heeled folks stand around and laugh.  Just maybe enviornmental psychotics are created by those &quot;popular, beautiful kids huh????)

I&#039;m thinking that since it&#039;s been brought out that this killer was mistreated in middle school - that just maybe even college kids still have their fan clubs and exclude others that they make fun of.  you&#039;d think by then that they would be adult enough to have compassion for someone so apparently disturbed.

I am very sorry for all the people killed and their loved ones and family and also for the family of the killer.</description>

		<description>Three things come to mind about this incident.


!. A bigger argument about Immigration in general denying a green card to mentally disturbed foreign nationals and deportation.

2. Deny gun purchases to people who are not american nationals including resident aliens with green cards.

#.Bring back  the mental hospital system so people like this nutball can be committed.</description>

		<description>The only way to stop people killing people is to find out why they want to do it and either resolve their issues or if they&#039;re untreatable kill them first. Mandatory psych testing of everyone each year during school would have caught this guy and prevented this incident. 

Banning guns would simply have made him use another method. I could think up a dozen ways to kill more than 10 people without using anything resembling a weapon and which couldn&#039;t possibly be banned. I won&#039;t mention them because some psycho might be reading this site and suddenly decide &#039;Hey that&#039;s a great idea! I&#039;m gonna do that one!&#039;</description>

		<description>From:
The National Post:
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/editorialsletters/story.html?id=75312483-6faf-4dbe-8056-d61ef7788118

&quot;It is sad and humbling to acknowledge that no policy -- short of banning all forms of human weaponry, and locking up everyone who strikes his classmates or co-workers as a depressed oddball -- can reliably prevent tragedies of the type that struck Virginia Tech this week. But that is the unfortunate truth.&quot;

I cannot agree with that statement.

It takes TWO items to create a gun shooting.
A gun and a person.
Eliminate one of those items and you cannot have a gun shooting.
