I'd rather not have to comment on the Virginia Tech murder rampage

but I heard somebody politicizing the matter already. [The only way, sadly, to depoliticize an event, is to make sure it's completely private. Unfortunately, that is also a political issue.]

A lady called a radio show and said she was absolutely against individuals having guns. The host treated it as an expression of grief and let it go, and maybe he's right. The worst thing the government does is overreact in the name of "doing something."

Even if all the civilians in the world were disarmed, as long as police and military services have guns, the enemies of Society would be able to get them from police and military armories.

For that matter, it's not that hard to make your own nasty weapons, including firearms and explosives. Your reeducation camps - excuse me, education system - won't be able to shut down evil imaginations.
