The Gun Debate Ensues
Everyone agrees that the Virginia Tech shooting was a tragedy. The debate about what could have been done to prevent the crime, or future crimes has already begun.
John Lott has the best write-up of opinions that I tend to agree with. Here is his blog.
This shooting was in a “gun-free zone.” Stricter gun laws would not likely have prevented this or any other major gun crime. If one of the professors or students had been armed, they might have had a fighting chance to prevent some of the bloodshed. We will never know.
