Only increase the number of casualties. Given the circumstances, I don't think anything could've stopped this, short of confiscating every handgun in the US and banning the sale import and manufacture of handguns. He had no priors, he followed the laws of Virginia, as lax as they are. It's easier to get a gun than it is to get a drivers license. Even having to take a safety course would've given him pause... -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

E.g.,The kids in the German class that the gunman spent a minute and half shooting, then left, then tried to come back through the door and the guy who sold the kid the gun 5 weeks prior. Of course it brings up the question of gun control and all I think of is that: 1.) None of the kids (that I've heard about) knew what gun shots sounded like so reaction was slow, and 2.) The was nobody that could oppose the force of the gunman. Therefore, despite the fact I'm for gun control (as opposed to gun bans), I can only conclude that, had any of the kids been trained and armed they could've maybe saved lives. So I'm for conceal and carry AND new gun control laws which I don't view as conflicting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:232793 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
