Concerning the tragic events on the campus of Virgina Tech, I don't really understand how things like this happen. I would bet that the School has a rule prohibiting guns on campus as well as a state law that does the same. Were these laws not written to prevent this? Of course I'm being sarcastic one would say facetious. If just one good guy had been armed during this tragedy the body count may not have been nearly as high. It's as if the people who make theses rules and laws want the bad guys to have the best chance at mass slaughter they can get. This man walked on this campus knowing that it would be against the law for his victims to fight back. Why do the politicians want this kind of death on a mass scale? Why are laws written to help criminals do this? Why can't we hold the politicians that write these laws accountable and liable for these needless deaths? My heart goes out to the families of the victims of this tragedy. I encourage everyone to protect themselves and there families by learning how to properly use a firearm.
