It's disgusting how whenever something like this happens (Virginia Tech anyone?) people will push for more gun control. While it's possible he had the gun legally, the vast amount of murders (including the Virginia Tech shootings) are done with guns obtained illegally. If we had less strict gun control and the other 2 had owned a weapon and been able to defend themselves, well there still would have been some deaths, but in most cases people would be somewhat reasonable and realize that it's not smart to attack someone who also may have a gun.
 
A quote from one of my friends:
 
"Recent events have shown that schools are a perfectly safe place for a shooter to bring a gun in and fire until he runs out of ammo".
 
I don't think more weapons would have solved anything in this situation and MAY have even made it worse (but they could have at least defended themselves), but overall gun control is shown to help the criminals and those who don't follow the law. If I can be sure the house I'm going to rob won't have anyone armed inside it or the woman I'm going to rape isn't carrying a weapon, I feel a lot safer than thinking that it's possible that someone could be inside and I could have a gun aimed at my head when they hear me break in.
 
Of course this is the best comment IMO:
