The media and the politicians haven't waited to start the debate over handguns, so why should the people who will be the most affected by it not debate?

First of all, did this guy really say this?:

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama says the killings at Virginia Tech University were "the act of a madman on some level" that probably couldn't have been prevented.

But, he said Monday night in Milwaukee, the tragedy offers America a chance to examine violence in our culture, including the "verbal violence" expressed by radio personality Don Imus in his rant about the Rutgers University women's basketball team....

If he said that, then out of the gate they're trying to tie this bloodshed to "verbal violence." Amazing. Don't forget that 45 days after 9/11 we had the USA PATRIOT Act, and under that act you are a domestic terrorist if you break a federal or state law. Looks like the politicians are gearing up for an omnibus "violence" bill that will outlaw EVERYTHING.
