But… we can certainly point the finger at scumbags trying to capitalize on tragedy for their own personal gain.

I agree…they are already lining up…

In a speech yesterday, Barack Obama compared what happened at Virginia Tech to Don Imus?s ?verbal violence,? and the undefined kind of ?violence? that outsourcing effects.

Just as David said, this is a mental health case, not a religious one.

How many people would he have killed if he hadn't had such easy access to two semiautomatic weapons, which were obviously for the protection of his home, person and property?

I think they should really have a better screening process when people buy guns, one that includes mental illnesses. I'm sick of people worrying about their precious guns being taken away. This shit wouldn't be happening if guns weren't so easy to get, but the pro-gun lobbyists have so much power and money that we'll never have better and SAFER gun control. Plus people are so pig-headed about keeping their damn guns. Can they honestly look into the eyes of each one of those kids families and tell them that we shouldn't have better gun control laws? <br /> My parents came over from Europe and even though they could have easily bought guns to "protect the home with" they never did. We got dogs instead. And you know what? Not one of their 5 kids went insane and shot a bunch of people. Nor did any of them go to jail for robbery or assault. karen,
