He shouldn't have been allowed to buy any guns...

No, really.

That's right. Virginia, the state where 'anyone can buy a gun, anywhere, anytime', actually already had a law (actually, it's a federal GC law, which is illegal, but what the hey) that should have prevented Cho from arming himself legally. But no one bothered to enforce it after the judge sent for the nice young men in their clean white coats to come and take Cho away.

So, I guess, the solution is... more GC laws? Question, will we be actually enforcing these new laws, or will they be ignored too?

Now, I hate to have to ask this, but are my staunchest critics ready to yield even slightly? Are you willing to admit that just maybe, this one time, I am right? We do not need more GC laws. What we need is for criminals to start obeying them, or the authorities to actually enforce them.

I've always thought that, even tho' I'm leaning to the left. But I can't speak for your staunchest critics.
