The college administrators at Virginia Tech banned handguns on campus too. Virginia has a concealed handgun law, and there was a heated exchange at Virginia Tech over this issue 2 years ago. The students should have been armed so they could take out the shooter. In 2002, just down the road at Appalachia Law School, a couple of students got their guns from their cars and stopped a similar incident. Disarming people is nuts. I bought 4000 rounds of ammo this weekend to disperse to family members. All firearms we have are legal, all users responsible. I feel sad for the families of those killed. Shouldn't have happened.
