    It is no secret we (the States) need tougher gun laws. If this is not a compelling enough reason, then I'm not sure what is. The U.S. regulary has lead the league in richest nations on gun deaths.

    Sad.

    I don't think we need tougher gun laws and i'm not a "gun person", by any means. What we do need are fewer idiots. I personally don't think tougher gun laws would change a thing. I remember after Columbine, they made every person that purchased a gun wait about 3-6 months for a background check. Didn't seem to make a difference...

    Besides....anyone ever heard of the second amendment? "Right to Bear Arms"?

    Getting rid of the idiots is not going to happen unfortunately. They'll be forever amongst us.

    Other modern nations have instilled tougher (Stricter) gun laws and have seen dramatic results in their favor. I think it naive to declare tougher mandates and regulations would not decrease the number of gun related fatalities and crimes we see each year.

    The 2nd amendment, of which I support (I too am not a 'gun person'), is over 200 years old . Our forefathers wrote this with the English Army in mind, not some maniac going on a murder spree and killing it's citizens.

    Some tweaking may be in order, ya think ?

    Guns will never be controlled. I wish they could, but I don't see it ever happening. All they can do to prevent this sort of thing from happening in another school is tighten up the security. Tougher laws will just make the sick f*cks and "bad guys" out there find other ways to get them. Of which, i'm sure there are many.

    And if we somehow control guns, what's to say that some sicko isn't going to walk into a school with a bunch of tiny home made bombs? What about knives? What about harmful chemicals? What about a chainsaw or some other household tool(now THAT would be a sick puppy).

    This sort of thing is going to happen, unfortunately. We stop one thing from happening one way and they find another thing to go the other way. It's a lose, lose situation, in my opinion.

    We can all go off about how the gun laws should be changed in America but it's a different world outside folks. Besides the situation over there is way beyond repair in that regard. It has been a part of US culture for too long now.

Then the "Hero" said that he clearly heard the gunman's empty clip hit the floor and a few seconds went by for the reload.

    There had to have been 15+ males in that room that could've charged his South Korean ass while he was attempting to reload. That seems like a situation where it could have all been stopped.

    I'm not saying I would be the moronic hero that would run straight into gunfire just so I can be on the news as a "hero". But if I saw a slight chance where I could contain the asswipe and prevent other's from being hurt, especially if I had some other men ready to help, I would.
    He may have had another weapon , ahem , I mean gun so ... yes I wouldve busted out and gotten shot trying to stop that Mutherf*kr .

    ok i have something to confess

    i went on a rampage in highschool trying to kill some guy that made fun of me in agricultural class with a freakin hammer... i wouldve killed him to had it not been for the ag teacher pullin the hammer out of my hand. i did kick the little buggers face and gut in. no body has ever messed with me since then. i dont think i wouldve used a gun and gone a rampage but there had to be a reason why the dude did it... i just found about this tonight. i dont watch the news because you see crap like this on there. but i do collect guns and i am avid shooter but that doesnt make me crazy... although i do aim for the head...

    We need our guns because of ass piles like this. we need to ban Koreans to solve the problem.

    We will alway have rouge nuts if they get guns leagally or not. This is the sick price we pay for gun rights. I don't plan on handing my weapon overbecause of crazies. It gives me more reason to keep it.

    Ban koreans from what? Owning guns or attending school?

    Either way ... that is a pretty stupid statement to make if you are genuinely attempting to "solve the problem".

    Furthermore, you might want to remove the elastic bands or see a doctor about your "rouge nuts"

    The ban Koreans was supposed to come off sarcastic. I Could see the Onion doing an article on banning koreans on campus.

    Per CNN

    The killer in the massacre at Virginia Tech was taken to a mental health facility in December 2005
    Might be prudent to flag the powers that be; no gun buying for like 7 years or something

    Jesus, they'll flag your credit report for atleast that for not paying a $10.00 item.

    Why? Because of One guy? If we had to do that we'd have to ban midwesterners and southerners cause they do most of the school shootings. Ban them for what? Neatly stacking produce in their grocery stores?
    Is that some kind of joke or are you really that much of a bigot.

    probably wouldnt have happened at all if people werent such arseholes to people who arent like them.

    it's not like the kids to whom everyone was really nice and got along with end up doing school shootings...

    I think in this case, the killer was the asshole. Apparently when people said hello and tried to talk to him he ignored them. Its college not High school. Its not the same at all. He was an engeneering student. He was NOT surroundd by frat boys, he was surrounded by MATH GEEKS. And we all know how judgemental they are

    Shows what the priorities are. Cash rules everything around you, but your life aint worth sh*t.
