Killed on Holocaust remembrance day. Talk about a tragic irony.
Rest in peace.

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.

I believe he has been here since he was 8 years old. He was Legal, the owner of the Gun shop said everything checked out when he ran his background check and what not.

proves nothing dude, the only thing that kill people are people. Look how many people in the US have legally purchased guns...now look how many people have committed murder that have bought a gun legally. People kill people in many ways every day, bats, knives.....cars. Should we ban selling all these things to everyone? No because it makes no sense.

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.

Retard
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.
The world is my urinal

33 people wouldn't have been killed if the guy wasn't a psycho. It's a moot point man. 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:
