Dale's Ramblings

I have no doubt that those who say that guns should be outlawed will use the Virginia Tech massacre as evidence for their cause.

In fact, I think it underlies the fact that more people should be armed.  If some of the other students had been armed I suspect that Cho Seung-Hui would have been killed a lot sooner. What is needed is more non-nut cases to be packing. If (say) every second person was armed, Cho Seung-Hui would not have been able to kill 32 others.

The fact is further underlined by the headlines that appear side by side today with those of the Virginia Tech massacre. The mayor of Nagasaki in Japan was shot dead by a gangster. It is illegal to own a handgun in Japan. They outlawed guns so in Japan it is the outlaws that have guns.
