> Subject: Virginia Tech killings

> Did laws prohibiting gun possession, or carrying guns onto school
> campuses, prevent what happened at Virginia Tech today?

> Obviously not. The killer ignored any such laws.

> Did gun prohibition laws perhaps prevent someone at Virginia Tech from
> stopping the killer before his death toll rose so high? Perhaps so.

> Law abiding citizens tend to obey the gun prohibition laws. Criminals do not.

> We are not calling for any action on this issue. We are not
> politicians, who, in moments of crisis, want to pose as saviors.
> Instead, we just want to encourage people to stop and think.

> We also want to express our condolences to the family members and
> friends of the promising young people whose lives were taken in this
> criminal act.
