How do you feel about gun control laws now after the VT massacre?

Do you think law need to be changed to avoid these types of violent episodes? The parents of one of the students, perhaps the last one to be shot by Cho before he committed suicide, were surprised at how easily it is to purchase a gun. These parents and their children, had been relief workers in some of the most dangerous areas of the world ( Somalia, etc), yet to come back to the USA to have their son witness this massacre by someone with a gun.

I can't believe how EASY it is to purchase a gun from Virginia????!!!!!????

Yet more fuel to the fire of the on-going debate on gun purchasing and licensure in America…

The article:
Investigators said Cho procured one of the guns he used in the rampage, a Walther .22-caliber pistol, Feb. 9 from a pawnshop on Main Street in Blacksburg near the Virginia Tech campus.

On March 16, he bought the second gun, a 9mm Glock 19, from Roanoke Firearms, a gun shop on Cove Road in Roanoke.

He used his driver’s license as identification and had no problem buying the guns because he was complying with Virginia law, which permits the purchase of one gun a month, investigators said.

The Glock was used in two shootings, first in a dormitory and then in Norris Hall more than 2 1/2 hours later, officials said. A surveillance tape, which has now been watched by federal agents, shows Cho buying the Glock, sources said. Both guns are semiautomatic, which means that one round is fired for every finger pull.

CHO SEUNG-HUI "If not for me, for my children……"?

This was unfortunately a horrible tragedy that could have been prevented if his medical condition had been properly reported to federal firearms licensing… even though it’s required to do so.

But.. one thing that struck me me odd was in his ramblings CHO siad … "I will no longer run, , if not for me or my children…. for my brothers and sisters …. *****"

What do you think he means by children?

He was not known to even have a real girlfriend… his roommate said he had an imaginary girlfriend. The news media has not picked up his reference to his children. Nor have they even mentioned if he had a brother or sister. But he certainly did not have children. If you believe he was speaking metaphorically… to what end
