Gun Control?

In the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting, a campus that lost 33 of its own, I have come to really take a step back and evaluate our gun control policies and how our government is approaching laws pertaining to gun control. The Virginia Tech tragedy has been labelled as the largest school shooting and even largest shooting rampage in United State history. was rocked by the largest school shooting in United States history. While it was unimaginable to fathom that the gunner was even capable of such an act, more questions have boggled my mind about the ease by which he was able to obtain the guns (a .22 caliber Walther and a 9mm Glock). It was reported that the gunner, Cho, simply walked into a local gun shop and while a background check was taken, everything went through, was approved, and he walked out with a gun in hand within a few minutes. The question I have is can such incidents really be prevented in the future? Truth of the matter is while we cannot simply go around and question people who we think are remotely capable of such an act or threatening to other people in any way, there are other ways we can deter them from successfully achieving such a mission... put it simply, gun control. People with Cho's mind-set exist. There is no doubt about it. There are people all around the world who, for whatever reason, have this mental disability and have this hatred towards people around them and society at large. They tend to seek violence and cause harmful acts but how much harm can they really accomplish without arms, without guns, without any sort of ammunition? Little to none. Honestly, think about it... we need to implement more control and more regulation on gun distribution. If I had it my way, I would outlaw guns everywhere and leave them for the use of police, the army, etc but that is just me trying to picture an ideal world. We need to be more aware of the consequences that such mentally disable people can cause when they are in possession of such deadly weapons. The Virginia Tech shooting was a tragedy that I pray will never ever happen again and I cannot imagine the pain that the entire campus and the families are feeling at this point and I would hate to see anything like that happen again. It is up to us to take a step back and learn from this, to realize that we cannot and should not tolerate acts like this and we need to make changes in our system. I leave you with this final thought, "People are not capable of killing other people, people with guns are."
