The left is just waiting for an opportunity to jump on the gun confiscation bandwagon.
Notice the first thing they say after they are sorry is there ought to be a law, or we have to make fire arms illegal.
How do either of these issues apply to the recent shooting?
If he couldn't buy a gun, he would have stolen one. Or used explosives, in which case the death toll might have been higher.
This was an isolated event that was neither predictable nor preventable.

In California, we had an anti-gun politician named David Roberti. I was not really concerned about gun rights when I was in my 20's, but everytime David Roberti would propose banning [i]all[/i] handguns in Ca, I would join the [url=http://www.nra.org/]NRA[/url] for a year. I'd let it lapse and along came Roberti with another hairbrained sceme and I'd join again. Finally (living in California) it just became cheaper to become a [b]Life Member[/b].
Thanks, Mr. Roberti!
Is it safe? What is their crime rate?
No one can say for sure that if firearms were allowed on campus that there would have been less fatalities, we can only speculate.
There was a time when if you bumped into a total stranger there would be an exchange of apologies, now there is an exchange of profanities or dirty looks.
Yes! And they'll enter your house to search for them without a warrant any time they choose! How [i]many[/i] of the first ten amendments to the Constitution are you willing to repeal to emulate Japan?
A district judge ruled that Cho, the shooter, was mentally ill before he bought his guns. Thus he was not eligible to purchase firearms under federal law, but state and local authorities (citing lack of funds) don't send all such rulings to the federal government and instant background check system (as they would have for a conviction). Like pro-gunners have said all along, don't rush to make new laws, enforce the ones we already have.
On the other hand, there is no reason to think that a deranged individual like Cho, would have stopped his intended slaughter simply because the state law would have made it more difficult to obtain the necessary weapons. Only a hopelessly simplistic moron would believe that.

Among the chilling statistics: 250 people are shot each day, 80 people die each day, and 50 teens die each week from gun violence in the US. If more guns made us safer, we should be the safest nation on earth, while exactly the opposite is true. I for one, shudder at the thought of a college campus, dorm, or classroom, where each kid carries a concealed weapon.
And how many people die from car accidents each day? About 115 is what I've heard.
Maybe we should ban cars too.
First, they didn't cite any source for their statisitic. Second, the Brady Bunch has a bad habit of lumping together justifiable homicides, police shootings, and gang and drug related shootings [i]as if[/i] they would all go away with the wave of a gun control law.
Not true, many cops support arming civilians

Yeah, I'm really interest in my doctors opinion on gun ownership.

Another lie. You just pull this stuff out of your ass because you either have an anti-gun agenda or you have an abnormal fear of guns.
I went to the FBI crime statistics site and went through the states and figured out what were the safest states to live in according to their stats, and found both New Hampshire and North Dakota at the bottom of the crime stats lists. I then went to the Brady site and found them both to have D- and D ratings, because they both have almost no gun control.
Take a wild guess at what I think about gun control.
You are free not to have a gun and move where fools permit gun control laws to exist, and when someone comes to kill you or your family, you can try and talk them out of it, I'll shoot them!
