...said Bush. That is the attitude in the US over the question of how such a thing as the Virginia Tech incident could happen. Unfortunately this attitude just perpetuates inaction, perpetuates gun culture, and perpetuates mental unhealthiness.
Everything has a reason...nothing is purely coincidental...especially when it comes to human action. When we can own up to our society's flaws, and admit that 33 people died that day on that campus because of ourselves and our own faults, then we can start to change things. Otherwise guns will continue to be easily and readily available, and adolescents continue to feel rejected by society, and psychologically desperate...and the latter will sometimes take advantage of the former.
More guns will solve the problem!
"All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last 10 years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen - a potential victim - had a gun," said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America. "The latest school shooting at Virginia Tech demands an immediate end to the gun-free zone law which leaves the nation's schools at the mercy of madmen."
So these guys are suggesting that in order to solve the problem, we should all start carrying guns around? Yeah...smart...
