According to former president Ronald Reagan's son Mike Reagan, the reason that the Virgina Tech massacre happened was because the Virginia legislature passed an "absurd" law to ban people from legally carrying concealed handguns on college campuses for self defense. If the government had allowed them, then this incident wouldn't have happened.

... but we'd have dozens of drunk college kids shooting at each other, potentially harming innocent bystanders.

No, it still would of happened, but he would of been shot down before he would be able to kill more than 3-4 people.

Alternatively you could say that if America did not have laws that allowed the shooter to legally purchase a weapon then this never would have happened. Issues like this aren't quite so black and white, it is pure speculation to say that this wouldn't have happened had there been no gun ban a Virginia Tech.

Does anybody know what gun rules have been in place at previous schools where shootings have happened. I had a quick look but can't seem to find any decent inforamtion, except that in the Charles Whitman killed 13 and wounded 31 at the Univerisity of Texas, Austin while being fired at by both police and civilians.

Even if allowing students to carry guns could have reduced the death toll at Virginia Tech to on 3 or 4, that is still 3 or 4 people who should not have been shot and killed. Many of the school shootings in America have ended with the gunmen taking their own lives, I doubt that fear of retribution will prevent these incidents from happening.

Then again, someone could just invent a transporter that automatically scans for and removes guns/knives/etc...

Guess who... Big Grin
