quote: a district court in Montgomery County, Va., ruled that Cho presented "an imminent danger to self or others."

/That guy should not have been able to buy a gun in March.

A little more of the headlines coming out now (impossible to avoid, try as I might) are suggesting he shouldn't have even been outside the confines of a mental hospital.  I know sensational headlines sell.  I'm not reading any more than the headlines because it's a public post-mortem which really won't solve anything and certainly won't reverse this crime.

I won't argue with the point he shouldn't have been able to buy a gun.  However, there's no guarantee that a person's mental status will make it into the NICS.  Keeping track of a few loose screws amongst 300 million people is a tough task.

Here's a citation of Virginia's law:

http://www.lcav.org/states/virginia.asp#bradylaw

"Mental defectives" (their word not mine) are not allowed to purchase firearms per mandate of the federal "Brady Bill" that all states must adhere to.

All the dealer has to do there is run the purchaser through NICS.  Comes back clean, he gets his gun.

RL:
In a recent discussion with a psychologist concerning the functions preformed by the body that is host to the intelligent life it must depend on each day.   She was a female and her education followed the present meanings of our past moral society.   Asking if she considered herself as a professional and could relate to the body having the two brains that control separate and connected functions.   She replied she could.  Being the possibility that emotions share a place in both with thousands of nerves intertwined she was unable to answer and replied that was beyond her learning although hundreds of book are available.

If I were to cite parts establishing the concept of why are we here along with the desires of our host then I would be banned from this form.  The underlying parts are being slowly reported on the VT killings.

Your post quoted "Uh.... You sound kinda scarey to me, where is this rebellion going to come from? Are you associated with it?"

No, only an observer but may see the clouds of the moral storm gathering like it did above the park recently.

As long as the media glorifies shootings like this with their media-van circus and non-stop coverage, it appeals to loner nut-jobs to make a pathetic final statement.

Wow what a shocker...didn't see this coming, turns out this guy idolized Harris and Klebold, the perpetrators of the Columbine massacre, said they were martyrs.  Wonder how he came to know so much about those guys...[!]

Seems the Media used the connection as a fillin to create a knowable conspiracy to keep interest.

No ****.  As well, they just gave the next nut-job more fodder for his rampage and to set the U.S. record in single day shooting sprees at 40.  Is Guiness keeping records?  Going out on a limb here, but if the media hadn't given so much attention to Columbine, maybe we still wouldn't know who Cho was.
