The sad thing is, it wouldn't surprise me.

And some people think gun control is bad? I am in no way opposed to banning all guns but imagine if he would have had a couple tec 9's or something.

If he would have used a Tech 9 alot of those people would still be alive as they are very prone to jamming. And what makes a Tech 9 so much worse than the pistols he used? It's just a 9mm pistol with a high capacity magazine. Hell I can get a 30round clip for a Glock or a 1911. I would be way more afraid of a pump action shotgun filled with 00 Buckshot than a pistol in this situation (it will land way more hits on a target per shot). It's just a case of people hyping up certain guns to scare the general population



On another note, I spoke with my buddy and his daughter made it through this bullshit unscathed.

I find it amazing how crazy people are becoming these days and how kids are becoming so much more violent. I am sure once they get some history on this kid they will attach some blame onto his parents or some other form of adolencent manipulation that ultimately made him unstable and eventually made him go crazy.

So did he kill his girlfriend for breaking up with him or cheating on him? Is that what started it all, I can't find any details as to a motive for doing all of that.

After watching a few videos/new stories about the shooting on the Fox News website, I can definitely say that solely reading news stories does give one the true idea of what happened. I encourage you all to watch some of the videos on the Fox News website or whatever media outlet you like. Hearing people talk about their first-hand account of the shootings about makes a fella shed a tear. I can't imagine the devastation something like this would cause in my backyard, Iowa State, let alone what people are going through at Virginia Tech.

A quick, small fit of rage, my bad. :)

No biggie man, I understand where you're coming from.

It does suck to hear about this. I wonder who the Media is going to pin this onto now.

Alot of the blame should rest on the gun dealer that sold him one of the pistols he used. Reading up on this I see they found a reciept for a glock 9mm on his dead body.

Considering he's an alien and not a U.S. citizen that sale should've never taken place as you do need to be a U.S. citizen to legally obtain a handgun.

Can we say Civil Suit?

Anyone else see/hear the islamist quoting the koran and the buddhist speaking at Virginia Tech today? :punch:
