Blacksburg Massacre

So, not meaning to be a heartless asshole who politicize tragedies, but srsly, would the massacre occur if the US had a tad bit more restrictive gun laws? 

Different countries, societies, cultures, all have different solutions that are best.
The brits have pretty much gone all the way (though I'm no expert), and that is not communism.
A bad thing of course is thinking in terms of 'gun crime', rather than overall violent crime.
Politician often do this as a way of appearing 'in control', and if they can't go after guns, they'll go after something more foolish, like movies, comic books, or video games.
I'm more frightened of chainsaw crime, really. I'd much rather be shot than chainsawed.
