The Virginia Tech Murders

Well I just wanted to comment on the murders at Va. Tech. This abomination has to stop. I mean What could possibly make someone kill so many of their countrymen? Even the nutjobs that commit murder have to have some idea of what they are doing. "A crime of passion" is a copout. Saying that the person didn't know what they were doing due to the frame of mind they were in, come on.

"Oh...you were mad, I guess that's ok that you killed 5 people." They'll just do some time in a mental hospital. Since when does your frame of mind make it not as bad. Give them their due. Sure let them see a psychiatrist while they're in there...but make them responsible for their actions.

Tighter gun control isn't necessary...let's start by enforcing the laws we already have in place. Then reevaluate the situation if that doesn't start to work. People who move to this country from somewhere else should have to wait to get a gun, make them get their citizenship. I'm ok with making it so you can only get a gun at a registered place, and make everyone register their guns. These are all things we could have done that wouldn't take away from the right of owning a gun as a citizen of the United States.

If someone gets seen for a mental illness, take the right to own a gun away. Having a gun means that you have responsiblities to yourself and your family. Accountability is a must. When you were a kid, and screwed up...were you held accountable for your actions. As soon as I was old enough to know right from wrong I was held accountable for everything I did. If I chose to do something then I was held accountable for the consequences of what I did, good or bad. Whether I was mad or not.

Ok, that's all for now.
