Did gun control play a factor in the V-Tech tragedy?

I don't mean they whack job that bought the gun, I mean the laws that prevent law abding people (faculty, staff, and students) from carrying concealed weapons. If one other person had a legal gun, would 31 people be dead today?Did gun control play a factor in the V-Tech tragedy?
Whether there was a stricter or more lenient approach to gun control events like these are still going to happen and although they are great tragedies unless it was impossible to get hold of guns and bullets, never going to happen, these events still have a possibility to occur.





I agree, if other people had been carrying weapons the death toll wouldn't have been 31. I would have estimated it closer to 50 or 60.





In a panicked environment with lots of people running round even the most highly train marksman can't guaranty 100% that they would hit the correct person carrying a gun. Most accounts state that people froze or tried to hide, carrying a gun wouldn't have solved this problem.





Then consider gangs of armed students walking round trying to find the killer, probably causing gun fight when they met other groups.





Guns are not the main problem with violent crime, Canada has equal access to gun but less violet crime per capita. UK which has a complete ban on guns has 80 times less violent crime per capita than the USA, but is still higher than Switzerland which has a very liberal approach to guns, more so than the USA. Society is the really blame for most violent crimes.Did gun control play a factor in the V-Tech tragedy?
Gun control would not have been a factor in the V. Tech. tragedy because guns are not ';allowed'; on any school campus in this country. That sets up a scenario where a hostile gun person would be the only person armed but that is not going to change. Could you imagine, ';Put your guns %26amp; books on your desks %26amp; get ready to go.'; What would have saved 30 innocent lives that day would have been for the campus to have been ';locked down'; when the first shots were fired. A ';rumor'; that a person on campus has a gun should cause a campus to go into lock down. The fact that no lock down order was given was dirrectly responsible for the deaths two hours later. Whoever failed to give that order should be charged with negligent homocide %26amp; the school should be litigated into oblivion.
No, it would be 32, and no the control was not a factor, since there is no gun control in this country. Also, they are ';Law Abiding'; Citizens exactly because of that, they abide by the Law not to have concealed weapons, the ';whack job'; that did this , couldn't care less about the Laws, even if there was a gun control. Let me make a disclaimer here, is not that I'm for guns, but given the facts, all these mass murderers are driven by mental and physical circumstances. Weapons are just some of the means to perform their actions. Remember the Unibomber? Timothy McVay? 9/11? Would had made any difference if the 3000 dead had guns with them?
Laws do not adequately protect people.


Laws are actually the root of the problem.


For the law is ';both good and evil'; ends evil.


Check out evil ';concupiscence'; in the Holy Bible.


Romans 7: ';another law'; makes you feel ';wretched';.


I think that adequately describes how the parents feel.





Connect these biblical dots to solve the mystery:


Our Father, deliver us from ';evil';: Matthew 6:13


We are delivered from the ';law';: Romans 7:6


Allegory clue: law is evil, as well as good.





Law is corruptible, and it's more often corrupt.


Have you never heard of police being on the take.


Have you never heard of the wrongfully convicted.


Perhaps you missed the TAKE HEED 101 Class.





Wake up and Smell the Odor.


Law and Odor: Pew: the smell of Death.


Law is ';the ministration of death';: 2Corinthians 3:7.





POINT: ';Grace'; is neither of two ';law';s in Mt22:36-40.


Grace neither tempts(laws) nor can be tempted(lawed).


Therefore and thereby Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).


Evidently Mt 22 and Rom 8 Law Law does both: lie %26amp; die.





The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
I do not believe it should have been so easy for him to get a gun. Obviously his intentions were not to defend himself but it seems like to me there should be some kind of instructionaly requirements and maybe anger control evaluation before issuing a gun. Anyway, I did hear at one broadcast that there was a few attempts made to stop the guy by individuals who were unarmed which really bothers me now that I think of it. Considering if they were armed they would have been much more successful.
This is the 21st century not the wild, wild west. (And even way back then not everyone packed a pistol!)


We need fewer people with guns not more.
