Gun control....
I'm normally against gun control. It's unconstitutional, for one.
BUT
I think Pelgar said it well, if more forcefully than I would have done. The constitution protects the rights of US citizens. The shooter at Virgina Tech was not a citizen.
There are many possible arguments, including the fact that ANY gun control bill potentially opens the door to more legislation. I am reminded of a radio show heard on my recent trip along our Southern border: one of the political commentary shows. The host spoke of "his laws" - restricting display of foreign flags, demonstration on holidays, use of language, and so on. Showing how most Americans would laugh at the idea of such restrictions. Not displaying the Irish flag on St Patrick's Day, for example.
Then he revealed they were actual Mexican law.
This is a tragedy for many families. I find it dreadful that so many groups are using it as a springboard for sensationalism.
The Constitution is supposed to protect Citizens. Let it!
