Prayers for Virginia Tech

Completely tragic (again), although this one may be a little less planned than the previous shooting. Prayers go out to the families of all involved and to all the Virginia Tech campus and families.

When the bad guys are the only ones with guns and by the time the good people with guns get the bad guy 20+ people are dead. Prayers sent to the students, faculty, and staff of VaTech

The first one shot was apparently a police officer, in a 'traffic stop gone bad'. I'm guessing he was armed. They haven't tracked the guy down, so I am guessing he has fled the area, making the likelihood of a do-gooder with a gun tracking him down unlikely.

Well apparently there was another person shot and killed after the police officer in a parking lot... lets see if that guy was carrying there's a possibility they wouldn't be dead and the shooter would be instead. That's my point. Plus all of the witnesses on campus that witnessed the police officer get shot could have easily acted if they were carrying.

Nothing like a little street justice where a bunch of carrying college kids could have downed him.

I don't see a problem with that especially if it prevents another innocent person getting killed. Its kinda like sending the military into a war zone without weapons... when the bad guys are the only ones with guns the good guy loses every time.
