The only person who will protect your life is you. If all these poor people had been armed the death toll would have been a lot smaller, but I'm guessing people will react in the opposite way and start once again demanding tighter gun controls.

You are RIGHT Carolus,
all this is going to do is take the guns out of the LAW ABIDING citizens,& give free reign to the criminals & their weapons from the street or black market.
Just seen on cnn 32 dead. This is SO AWFUL.

Why bother guessing? We can pretty much be guaranteed that they'll work harder on banning anything and everything.

Remind anyone of any other English speaking nation that just might not happen to be a fan of arming its citizens?

The need to control guns before certain things take place in this country make me think this was not an accident.

Not an accident. I feel for the poor families of these victims. And all so a few can have it all.

Now there saying the guy who was arrested in the pic above was a reporter who was "questioning to agressively" and is no the shooter. But they have also said that the shooter was asian, are there many asians in this area of America?

The number includes an unconfirmed number of Virginia Tech students. The gunman was also killed, bringing the death toll to 32. At least 21 people were injured, with one reportedly in critical condition.
It was unclear if the gunman was shot by police or if he took his own life.

Yes, there are quite a few asians in that area. They come from all over to attend college, not just asia.

Gun bill gets shot down by panel
HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses, died in subcommittee.
By Greg Esposito
381-1675

A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."

Most universities in Virginia require students and employees, other than police, to check their guns with police or campus security upon entering campus. The legislation was designed to prohibit public universities from making "rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit ... from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun."

I wonder what Mr Hincker has to say NOW.
