Tragedy in Virginia
In a appalling orgy of death, a gunman opened fire and killed at least 33 people at Virginia Tech yesterday. He is described as an Asian male, about 19 years of age, though no details as to why he rampaged through the campus have been released.
In our free and open society, is there any way to prevent this from happening again? Arm professors? Metal detectors and security guards in every door at every school? Is there any way we can protect our children and students from those who will kill themselves after they have slated their thirst for slaughter?
There is no easy answer. Indeed, there may be no answer at all. For now, as our nation struggles to understand what happened and why, pray for the families and friends of the victims.

Well…
The only way to stop it is to change.
Change the government. They are the one making it easy for anyone to get a gun.
Government has always been corrupt… look how much money is spent on irak… take that money and put it into shaping a better country instead.
Make guns illegal, buy them from people who have permits if you must ( it doesnt matter how much it cost, just buy them) , there is absolutely NO REASON why guns should be authorized by a government that put marijuana smoker/seller in prison. its a frigin herb man…
And about the stem cells .. omg
So much hypocrites
the world has changed…
This will happen again.

If one of those teachers had a gun, this lunatic could have been stopped before he killed 32 people.
Just check out what is happening in England because no law-abiding citizen has a gun. I will keep mine and use it if needed and I will sleep better knowing that I can protect myself.
