Yeah in the video he references the martyrs Dylan and Eric, ala the Columbine killers.

I really think he was just crazy.

That's scary, to imagine and know that someone is dieing everytime a gunshot is heard is just plan errrrieee....... what i want to know is that, was all the shots heard in that video came all from the gunman....or did the police open fire as well?

Especially that last shot....which is louder than the others....

turns out he's an innocent victim

 

As morbid as it is, resonance plays a big role in what gun shots sound like. If he finished it the way I think he did that'd explain why it was louder.

 

Yeah right....

I used to be in charge of this gem: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/745492/posts Probably mentioned it here before. At least they caught him before he did something crazy.

He was the same exact way. Got picked on when he came from Russia. When he was in my platoon me and a majority of the platoon tried to take him under our wings but he refused. I invited him to drink, to dinner, to movies, to ride in my car instead of his old bike. Nothing. Instead, he sat in the corner of his bare room literally staring at the wall or reading old classics. People like this choose to be this way. ****'em

 

Think of what Prof. Librescu must have seen, and survived during the Holocaust. And this kid thinks he had it rough? I have no sympathy whatsoever. Turns out that Prof. Librescu was the hero afterall... he supposedly helped some kids escape. He was no stranger to dealing with evil. Glad to see that there was some verifiable heroism taking place.

RIP to him.

 

haha dumb *** it "thier face"






i hope everyone caught that awsome joke

 

What makes you think that would work? The kids at Columbine were not old enough to purchase firearms, yet somehow miraculously they were able to get them. Perhaps it would work because somehow criminals would obey that law as opposed to all the other laws? Laws are not some sort of magical mind control that gets criminals to obey them. Laws only work on people that obey them, aka the "law abiding".

 

It seems to me that what needs to happen is they need to tighten up enforcement of the gun laws already in place. The criminal background checks need to also include (as they are supposed to) the state mental history.

pyscho should not have been allowed to purchase those guns because he was deemed a danger to himself by a shrink. Because the state didn't report him being detained and found to be a danger to himself it never got put into the NICS database that the FBI runs.

I don't know exactly how the law works but if he tried to buy a gun and got denied because he has been deemed mentally unstable wouldn't the gun shop report that someone that was crazy tried to buy a gun?

I know he probably would have gotten the guns illegally if he couldn't purchase them, but at least it would have been harder for him to get his hands on them, and isn't that all we can do without infringing on law-abiding citizens rights?

I am actually in the market for my first pistol and I wouldn't mind one bit if they ran a psych-eval on me. I got nothing to hide.

 

I'm sorry but the genie will not return to its bottle. You think that if you legistlate a stop to the production of firearms that the remaining firearms will simply "dry up"? How long in this theoretical process of yours before there is an actual drop in firearm related homicides? You make a lot of assumptions but the unknowns are too great for there to be any real basis for your theory. Its not as simple as your 1+2=3 solution.

 

Maybe some more of those toys for guns drives is all we need. I'm sure they'll continue to have killers line up to trade their guns in for some A's tickets.

 

A major part of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospNRk2uM3U

"a shoulder thing that goes up?" wtf? unbelievable.

 

I agree with on what you are saying on the point that when someone (criminal) wants a gun bad enough, they can find ways to acquire it regardless whether it was purchase legally or illegally..... but in the case of Virginia tech, this guy was looney, he was not a criminal before he committed the crime, therefore his record checked out fine.... my point is.... wtf would any gun seller sell a 23 year old a firearm.... did it ever occur to the gun seller as to why he would need the gun in the first place? (for business? Pleasure?)
