When bush and his neocon buddies started this (illegal) war based on nothing but lies against those terroist who are swarming our beaches everyday now (right) it was as if the door to hell itself was open..this country is sick in so many ways now that I see no other solution other than a direct intervention from God (hello) himself.

Today I will grieve with the families and those who were hurt. I am sorry this happen not that it helps much but I truely am.

Further, the price we pay for the “sportsmen” having their guns is this kind of tragedy. Someone else pays with their life for the privilege of some to have guns.

Was the shooter a patsy? Who were his handlers? We need a thorough honest investigation into these shooters connections. I am greatly troubled by the scale of this and the timing of it as well. Let us not be to quick to judge without the facts.

Events have happened in Scotland and Australia. The end result was the confiscation of all firearms.The event in Scotland was possibly staged.

What we need now are answers. First and foremost, is why this young man, described as a loner, went on the rampage to begin with. His actions and his very demeanor are those of one that has been programmed to do such a callous act by handlers. He was not himself, but had an alternate personality activated that did the act on command from his handlers. I cannot think otherwise as a normal person would not act in this way.

Let’s see what comes out in the next few days and weeks as to courses of action offered to prevent these atrocities from occurring. I’ll bet gun control is a major offering. I’m no lover of guns, but someone with a cool head and a handgun in one of the classrooms could have taken the shooter out in a heartbeat and would not have become a target for law enforcement as they would have had enough sense to put the gun away afterwards.

An event of this magnitude engenders fear into the hearts of many and that is exactly what the shooter’s handlers want. Fearful people cannot think clearly and can easily be lead to a solution that will not prove beneficial for them, but sounds good at the moment. The bottom line is to ask “Who benefits” from this? Once that question is answered, we will know who is behind his handlers.

The mayor of Nagasaki was critically wounded by a gunshot today – Japan has the most strict gun laws that I know of – I’ll betcha the handgun used by the shooter wasn’t registered.

Thieves and criminals will get weapons – don’t make this into another misguided attempt to further strip my rights as an American. Isn’t it bad enough that we can’t speak without concern for our jobs or freedom? That we cannot write open critiques of our “leaders” without concern for being on some list in DC?

Add onto this that the shooter wasn’t an American citizen – so don’t blame it on American culture. Put the blame where it belongs – one whacked out student who wanted to kill himself but for some reason we’ll now never know, decided it’d be more elegant to take over thirty innocent lives with him.

Edit: I mentioned that the shooter was a non-resident legal alien – I was incorrect – he is a resident legal alien – still not an American citizen – but that does have a bearing on his legal right to purchase firearms in Virginia.

As the shooter in this incident was a South Korean – a nonimmigrant alien – it would appear that he could not, legally, purchase a handgun in the state of Virginia – in other words – additional restrictions would have done NOTHING.

Before you start to piss the rights of your fellow citizens away – in an attempt to have the government make life safe for you from the cradle to your old age – you may want to research what laws are already in place.

I feel for the students at VT – I was on the Drexel campus in Philadelphia when the MOVE organization was on Powleton Ave (1977/78) – I was there when the gunfire broke out as they took pot-shots at the Philadelphia police – and some of us students who happened to be within view – additional registration requirements would have meant nothing to that gang of hoodlums – and it wouldn’t have stopped this whack job either.

These events are already a tragedy – don’t compound it.
