RE:How had the marican policians reacted?
by Shantanu Bapat on Apr 19, 2007 04:53 AM

But that has nothing to do with Gun Laws. I am a Indian and on a green card in US. I firmly support the gun laws in US. For all those who don't know:
(1)Virginia Tech is a "Gun Free" zone. 32 people died precisely because no one else had gun on them. If students and professors were allowed to carry guns then the maniac would have been shot after 2 fatalities.
(2) Virginia does have a system of background checks. And Choe was issued a gun after required background check. His past record was clean.
(3) There is specific clause where gun ownership can be denied to people who have been diagnosed with mental illness. Although, people are talking about his mental situation there was nothing in his record which says he was interned into a mental institution. Without any records no one can say a person is mentally unstable.
I as a tax payer in US and who believes in Gun Ownership by law abiding citizen strongly object to people using this incidence to raise emotions.
