This is a great post on the shootings in Virginia (via). Though I haven't been following the story as closely as many no doubt have, my understanding at this point is that the gunman first shot two students, a woman and a man, two hours before the much larger killing spree. But the university didn't shut down because that was just a "lover's quarrel," obviously not enough of a tragedy to shut down a university. I can't even begin to fathom how fucked that is.
See also this brilliant post by the estimable Jon Swift. Yes, some conservative bloggers, including Malkin and Reynolds, are blaming this on the fact that students aren't allowed to carry concealed weapons.

A brilliant post? I agree that Swift is one of the better right-wing bloggers (which isn't saying much), but it's hard to call a post brilliant that includes the following:
"There will be time enough to mourn the victims, but our first priority should be to head off the gun-control nuts who are sure to exploit this incident for their own political purposes. These anti-gun fanatics will stop at nothing to push their political agenda. Before they are allowed to exploit people's emotions by getting more gun control bills passed, we should be vigilant in heading them off by eliminating gun-free zones and giving all of us permission to carry concealed handguns wherever we go so that we can all be ready the next time a psychopath bursts into a classroom, bar or church. It would be terrible if we let this tragic incident be used by those who want to take away our guns. While we are offering prayers to the families of the victims, let us also thank God that we live in a country protected by the Second Amendment."
Yeah, sure. Concealed weapons would make everything so much better. Then the U.S. will have the shotgun vigilante justice these extremists want. They talk about the rule of the law, but what they really long for is the rule of the gun.

It's always been my impression that Jon Swift is pure satire, a liberal pretending to be a conservative blogger and lampooning the excesses of the conservosphere. But it fills me with delight to think that he does this so well that he can be mistaken for a genuine conservative blogger, and indeed "one of the better" ones. As I've said before, you can't tell where the reality ends and the satire begins with today's wacky conservatives.

And, what, Michael, are you suggesting that college campuses wouldn't be safer if ever desk had a Gatling gun mounted on it?

Just answer one question for me?
Why would anyone purchase the type of weapons that Cho purchased, other than to kill people with it?
There is no reason that those kind of weapons have to be available.
They are made and designed for one purpose ---- killing others.
That really makes sense to you?

I am a student at UFM, in Guatemala, and I see how this tragedy affected many people, and when I heard the news, I was shocked too. The first that came the mind of this idiot was to bring guns to class? Guns only purpose is to hurt, but it is often mistaken with "self-defense", first of all, if there were no guns at the beginning, there would not be a necessity of anyone having guns... but that is just me dreaming... I don't know what crossed Cho's mind at the moment, and now it's too late to give him the help he sure needed. And, please, if you are a self-depressed jackass who thinks "I should have done that, let's repeat it", remember your family, or anyone you care about for that matter, because if you want to be leave your print on this world, do it right and ask for help.
