Anybody remember Jack the Ripper? Point is, if a wacko wants to kill people he/she will do it whether a gun is available or not. If the dingleberry at Virginia Tech had been denied a request to purchase guns you can bet your boots he would have gone on the internet and learned how to make some really powerful bombs that would have had the potential to kill many more people (remember Oklahoma City?). Should we close the internet and take away peoples computers?

My home was broken into one night. It was fortunate that the thieves were quiet enough that I didn't even wake up. They gained entrance through a garage door and on the way into the house they picked up a large, heavy rubber mallet and a large claw hammer. I found both laying on my computer desk in the morning. The hammers were there for one reason only and that was to probably kill me so I wouldn't be able to identify them. I'll guarantee you that had I been awakened by the perps they would have looked down the barrel of my .357 before they were able to use the hammers. I sincerely hope I'll never have to defend myself with a firearm but I will do that before I let someone harm me.
