Gun limits would make rampage less likely Thursday, April 19, 2007 3:34 AM
Stricter gun control is needed. Without the gun, the killer at the Virginia Tech campus is nothing but a loner who might not have been able to inflict big damage so easily.
Some argued guns don't kill, people do. This argument is total nonsense. The government regulates cars and drivers. And the United Nations forbids proliferation of nuclear weapons. The 21st century is no pioneer era. There is no need to own a gun to defend oneself that way anymore. The gun is designed to kill.
The semiautomatic is truly a weapon of mass destruction. A knife can kill only one or two people in quite a struggle. A gun can kill many in a very short time. There should be no sale and no ownership of guns in this country.
As for hunters, they should rent their rifles or shotguns through an authorized sports agency.

LOL! That's the ticket, huh?!
hey YANG..your village called and want you back. they miss their IDIOT..
Another idiot reporter who has no idea what semiautomatic means... they just read the 'automatic' part and think machine gun..
J.C. YANG Columbus,,,,,,,,,,,Scared...!!??
“The semiautomatic is truly a weapon of mass destruction. A knife can kill only one or two people in quite a struggle. A gun can kill many in a very short time.”
Really?
A shocked Japan is trying to find explanations for a brutal knife attack on a primary school on Friday, which left eight children dead and 15 pupils and teachers injured.

You say semiautomatic and a libtard sees a 30mm vulcan cannon.
Maybe that's because it doesn't say something like
"A car being necessary to get back and forth to work, the store, etc. the right to own and drive a car shall not be infringed."
in the US Constitution.
IIRC, the largest mass murder in U.S. history was a guy in New York who used a can of gasoline to set a nightclub on fire after they threw him out. We need Criminal Nut Control not gun control. Cho was more evil than crazy. Would he have tried to shoot up a gun show or a police convention? Nope, he wisely chose helpless victims in a gun-free-zone.
But Rwandan machetes killed 10,000 people a day for three months.
What WAY? Somewhere between 1/2 million and 2 million crimes were stopped last year by gun owners. The problem is not law abiding citizens with guns. The problem is criminals with guns. An armed citizenry is a safe citizenry.
My breath is taken away. How can people be so STOOPID?
Someone could rent a Hummer H2 for less than the price of a Glock, and spend all afternoon driving through crowds on campus on a football Saturday.
Actually I think he’s an idiot letter to the editor writer, but what’s the difference?
1. Which is why it's called the "Bill of Rights", and not the "Bill of Needs".
2. This myopic little puke has no idea what I do, or don't, "need".
What do these killings have to do with hunting?
And no gun was used to destroy the Oklahoma building either. I guess we should ban fertilizer and diesel fuel as well.
