I send my condolences to the families that lost loved ones yesterday.

In respect to yesterday's shooting rampage, I was also concerned to wake up this morning and hear about gun control issues abound. It is surprising to me that Reid would initially take a stand to insure that people do not irrationally react to the incident that took place.

I completely understand that ranting about tighter gun control happens right along with these types of events. But what the those that oppose gun rights don't understand (or just simply oblivious about) is the fact that taking guns away from law abiding citizens only strengthen what took place at Virginia Tech.

Abridging our 2nd Amendment Right only harms those that follow the laws and/or take our part in our responsibility. Criminals will always find a way to get a gun/weapon and take advantage of those that cannot protect themselves.

I'm really shocked to hear that people worldwide have taken the stance that the gun issue was to blame in this incident in the first place. Why the hell was it two hours into the ordeal before the others were notified? The police made that call.
