Both sides of the gun control debate have weighed in on the VA Tech incident, and already there are screams of "How dare you politicize this! You should be ashamed!".

That's a load of crap. It's USING the victims to shut down debate based on feelings instead of reason and rationality.

The fact of the matter is, both the mental health system AND the political system failed here.

If Cho had gotten the help he needed, or been isolated, he might not have gone on this rampage. If faculty/staff who were CHP holders were allowed to have their weapons on campus, there might have been SOMEONE to stop Cho.
