 pretty much all weapons are legally obtained at one point or another.  someone has to buy them and after that they are either stolen or sold off to criminals.
 The guy could not have purchased the weapon himself.  He was on a visa.  You can not purchase a weapon in the US unless you have been there for at least 90 days and plan to live there.

 When it comes down to it, if you were to ban all guns, only criminals would have guns.  Now what? |

 Just inflate the cost of bullets, that when someone gets shot... you know they must have did something for someone to cap them with a $100 bullet. |

Anyway, if you think you can tax the shit out of ammo, go for it. Alot of shooters reload their own stuff, plus military surplus ammo can be found anywhere for cheap.

Just because you don't like guns, or don't believe guns should be in the hands of civilians doesn't mean that everyone that carries them or has them is evil.
 
It all boils down to security at the schools. I think there should be armed guards on all campuses. |

 Virginia has the most lax gun laws in the country, in case you all wanted to know.
 Milla i bet you're glad you bought your USP, guarenteed that your state is going to get shit on by a mountain of gun laws. calmdown:
