1) The Orlando Sentinel reports that Cho set fire to a dorm room. It appears that VT officials did not expel Cho;
2) Neither did VT officials press charges. An felony conviction for arson would have, under federal law, prevented the background check from allowing the sale of the firearms to proceed;
3) Federal law now requires that anyone institutionalized for mental problems report that on his BATFE application form. It is a felony to not properly report this. Further, the federal government has been accessing records of such people to use in denying their ability to pass the background check.
And the libs say we need more laws to prevent some future mass murder. Sounds like snake oil. If the laws we have don’t stop mass murder, then obviously we don’t have enough law. Strangely (or predictably) most of the new laws always seek to restrict lawful ownership and use far more than they seek to address mass murderers.
If the guy is obviously incompetent, how did he managed to stay at this university year after year? I mean, do they still grade people?
agree with your comments, but he would have found a gun somehow, or used explosives etc...he was nuts and many knew it and did nothing.
