Virginia Tech Shooting

I know today's school shooting at Virginia Tech has really been terrible, on so many levels. I pray for the people who did and didn't make it, their family and friends, and anybody associated with Virginia Tech who has been personally affected by this tragedy.
I think it's a good time to have a discussion about gun-control. I'll give my thoughts first, and I hope everyone else can give their perspective.

But First:

2nd amendment:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

I think that most Democrats want to forget it's there, and most Republicans don't read what it says.

Well-regulated means, well,,,,regulated. This is why I never believed the Brady Bill to be unconstitutional. I could site specific disagreements with the bill (some things are on there that shouldn't and some things aren't on there that should), but overall, I believe it to be constitutional.

I don't hunt. I'm not against it, bu to me ts boring, and I'm not sure I could pull the trigger. I like to eat the meat though, and I think that anyone who wants to go out and hunt, should, because I know a lot of people who really enjoy it. But you usually have to wake up early, I'm warning you!
I do own a gun. I don't get to carry it everywhere, but you better believe I can get to it if I need it (thank God I never have). If you knew what I did for a living (don't worry its legal), you'd understand.

"If firearms are outlawed, only outlaws will have them". There's some truth to that (I hate buzz words, but this one make sense) statement. I mention that because if someone in the Virginia Tech dorm or classroom other than the gunman had a gun, the story would not have ended the same, and if the shooter knew someone would, he might not even have tried.

I could go on, but I want to make this short. I'm sure nobody is going to agree with The-G-Blog on this one, so let the debate begin!!
