I'm sure many of us have read about the tragic deaths from the Virginia Tech Shootings by this South Korean undergrad that bought a couple of guns and used them to kill 31 including himself earlier this week.

Like the Columbine shootings ten years ago this month, this is yet another sorry look at the pervasive violence in the psyche of American society.
I never get why Americans fail to see the stupidity of not increasing their gun control laws. In the immediate aftermath of the tagedy, the good folks in support of the National Rifle Association (NRA) did their usual defences and hollow excuses. They will blame the shootings at Virginia Tech on Quentin Tarrantino movies and violent video games. They will single out the pervasive violent "culture" in Hollywood as the problem, thereby exonerating their friends at the NRA.

Right.

You don't see the kids in the rest of the world blowing their brains out do you? But no, it can't be the lax gun laws that make the difference here. No sirree..

Well what else can you expect when the Numero Uno of the US of A says this in an interview with ABC News on being queried on whether gun laws should be tightened in light of the killings:

``Now's not the time to do the debate until we're absolutely certain about what happened and after we help people get over their grieving''

Right dubeya.. You tell em pal..

*shakehead*

Afterall what more do you expect from someone who was supported by the National Rifle Association in his presidential campaigns.

I fear for the youth of America...and loved ones who live amongst them.
