IF VA TECH HADN'T OUTLAWED GUNS ON CAMPUS

It's gone up to 25 dead now. Could be more depending on how badly some of the injured are doing.
 
yeh, then so many fewer people would have been killed!

Funny how this hasn't happened in the UK for so long. wonder why?...
 
Because they have proper gun control in England for real. Guns don't kill people anyway. It's people with guns that kill people, and only certain kinds of people with guns that kill people.

Vermont proves that. We have the BEST gun control laws of any place in the country. Highest per capita possession rate, lowest per capita gun crime rate. Armed robbery is an anomaly here. Killings with guns even rarer.

Clearly Douche' is completely clueless, or deliberately inflammatory. It's a shitty troll either way.
 
The millions of crimes stopped by sane, responsible adults armed with firearms is completely overshadowed by this extreme example.

Time to outlaw them entirely.
 
32 dead and 28 wounded.

Bush's response included a defense of gun ownership.
"The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed," Perino said, noting that Bush and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings held a conference on school gun violence last October. "Certainly, bringing a gun into a school domitory and shooting ... is against the law and something someone should be held accountable for," Perino said.

The top of his head. They haven't released official figures once they got past 25. They're holding info til later.
 
Outlawing firearms isn't going to solve a damn thing anyway. Criminals and psychotics won't turn their guns in. Only law abiding citizens will and they're not the problem.

What does need to be dealt with is being able to stroll into a shop with a driving licence and walking out strapped like the fucking Terminator.
 
AP says this as of 8 minutes ago.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history. The gunman also was killed.

“Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions,” said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger. “The university is shocked and indeed horrified.”

The university reported shootings at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a co-ed residence hall that houses 895 people, and continuing about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building.

Some but not all the dead were students. One student was killed in a dorm and the others were killed in the classroom, said Virginia Tech Police Chief W.R. Flinchum.

The name of the gunman was not released. It was not known if he was a student.

NBC's Pete Williams said two law enforcement officials told him the gunman killed himself. They also said the gunman used two 9-mm handguns during the rampage, Williams reported. He said the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was trying to track the weapons.


Up until Monday, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history took place in 1966 at the University of Texas, where Charles Whitman climbed to the 28th-floor observation deck of a clock tower and opened fire. He killed 16 people before he was gunned down by police. In the Columbine High bloodbath near Littleton, Colo., in 1999, two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives.

After Monday’s shootings at Virginia Tech, all entrances to the campus were closed.

The university set up a meeting place for families to reunite with their children at the Inn at Virginia Tech. It also made counselors available and planned a convocation for Tuesday at the Cassell Coliseum basketball arena.

After the shootings, students were told to stay inside away from the windows.

“There’s just a lot of commotion. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on,” said Jason Anthony Smith, 19, who lives in the dorm where shooting took place.

Damn. It's going up quickly.

THis has to be one of the worst if not the worst incident of its type right?

Yeah, the last one was that guy in the tower in Texas that picked off 16 people before he was killed.

Deadliest campus shooting ever. The deadliest school attack was the Bath Township disaster, at 45 dead.

No, what needs to be dealt with are people who think shooting people like this is OK. It's a person thing, not a gun thing.
