Everyone must voice their opinions before you no longer have the right to.

IMO there is no way that a bill like that could pass without a vote as stated in the article. There are too many big money lobbies involved for that to happen. Honestly though (BIG can of worms opening) I do think that some reforms could be made to try to prevent people like the VT shooter from obtaining weapons so easily. This guy was judged in court to be mentally unstable yet due to loop holes between federal and state laws he was still able to obtain not just one but two firearms. He probably would have found another way to obtain the guns but he should not have been able to do so legally don't you think???

I agree with you there. Hopefully something reasonable will come out of it. The only good thing for now is the Bush will veto any gun control stuff. Can't say that about Hillary though.

Legally speaking and on a federal level, no he should not have been able to purchase the firearms. He would have bought them from some other avenue.

Do some research on the policies and attempts at law VT pushed through making it illegal to have any firearm on their and other campuses, including security officers. As as it may be, the administration and the government failed its people by not providing adequate protection for a right they took away. They took gun control to the extreme. The tradegy that happened would have been minimized or stopped or may have not even happened if Virginia Tech did not have a blanket ban on possession or storage of firearms on campus, even by state-licensed concealed weapons permit[url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_concealed_weapon"][/url] holders.

The biggest problem is that criminals dont give a flying turd about the laws. Our government thinks that it is okay to restrict the hell out of law abiding citizens to protect us. Ask the citizens in Washington DC if they feel safer walking the streets knowing you can not purchase or legally own a firearm in that city. Or in Australia where they rounded up firearms from everyone (that followed the laws and registered them) if they enjoy the huge increase in violent crimes and stabbings, or maybe the fact that our neighbors to the south have one of the highest murder rates in the world but their citizens can not own firearms either.

I think some reform should be made to keep mental cases from owning a gun but at whose expense and at whose loss of our given rights?

I could keep going on and on about this...
