Terrible news
Woke up to the news from Virginia this morning, I hope none of you have been touched by the tragedy
-
As far as I know, no one close to me wasn't affected, but then again I guess they weren't that close if I don't know they're at VT.
I still fail to understand how someone can do something like that...
Ouch.™

As far as I can recall, a proposed law to allow guns on campus was defeated last November. The gunman knew he had no chance of being faced with an armed response.

It's sad to see what the humans are capable of. I don't think we'll ever get it right.

I just bumped into this story a few minutes ago. What a horror... I kick myself for never being around when terrible things like this happen. Seems like injury or even death would be a small price to pay for trying to keep something like this from happening.
... well, if I was in danger of liking the ways of the world too much, here's an eye-opener. God be with them all.

I don't think mass murders factor gun control laws into their planning.
A prime is always a prime as long as its only divisors are 1 and itself.

My point exactly. Criminals don't obey laws whereas the law-abiding do. This is where people end up dead because they cannot defend themselves having been disarmed by law.

Very true, Rhys. It's a sad example of stupid quick-fix thinking. There can be no real governing people unless they are decent and responsible to begin with.
... one of these days I'm definitely going to apply for a concealed carry permit (not too hard in Oregon). I doubt I'll ever have occasion to need it, and I'm not one who goes around worrying about my personal safety, but you never know what will happen. I'd rather a responsible person like myself had a weapon in a situation like the above.

I live in Virginia but I'm not aware of anyone I know being personally affected. It's hard to understand.
