Gosh I hate current events. It's like only the depressing issues catch the news waves.
VTech shooting!
Just over a week ago a 22 year old man went on a shooting rampage at the Virginia Tech campus, killing 32 people including himself.
A moment of silence and no typing for the VTech students who lost their lives to Cho.
When situations like this occur, I am quickly brought back to my knees, feverishly thanking my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for the undeserved and yet abundant mercy and favor that he bestows upon me and my family. You look at the profiles of the people who perished and you can't help but wonder what makes one better than them. I leave home hurriedly everyday, I cut people off on the highway, park illegally, walk into class late more than I would like to, eat bad food, again more than I would like to, but yet I expect to be home later every single day. So far the cops have not found a link between Cho and his victims, and one can say that the only differentiating factor between the person that wasn't shot and the person that was is the will of God. Don't analyze that statement too much, what that means is you could have had reason to be at that location at that time, or Cho could have had reason to shoot up your location at that time. My condolences go to the families.
Gun laws
How could Cho legally prance around for weeks with two automatic rifles that he eventually used to expire other lives. The argument for freedom to bare firearms simply begs the question. We can't blame the police, or the school or anyone else for that matter.
The laws governing the state of Virginia made it impossible to force the troubled boy to rehab, the campus is not a confined area, that means it is virtually impossible to regulate, in the manner that would have avoided the tragedy.... In other words, there are so many things that could not have been avoided without hindsight, but the one thing that could was the ease at which Cho got his automatic rifles. If automatic guns were illegal, he might have shot one or two people, maybe even three, but even his peers would have been able to confine him. A table to the head or knees, even a slap, but who the hell was going to walk up to a racket of bullets. The best one could do would be to forfeit one's life to save another, and several of the deceased did that. A common saying "Even freedom comes with responsibility" is useless to an irresponsible or disturbed person. As is obvious Total freedom is never free. One can even say that It is possible to be enslaved by total freedom
