I was at the Tech for 4 days in the last week of Feb-07. I had found the place absolutely calm, perfectly suited for teaching & learning. People on the campus are very warm and loving human beings. It has, therefore, come as a big shock that such a thing has happened at the Tech. Policy makers in the US seriously need to look at the issues of easy availability of hand guns and the violence that goes on unchecked in the videos, games and movies.
