The guy got the gun completely legal. His background was completely clean, not one scratch with the law other than 2 speeding tickets. When he was buying the gun, he didn't even act nervous. The seller has denied gun sells before, when he saw red flags. With this guy he just snapped, and lost it. I don't see why we try to blame guns, its pointless especially in this situation. I could see if the guy had a record of felonies, and still got the gun legally, saying why did he have a gun. In this situation its just tragic. Even if we would do psychological testing for guns in some form, this guy was a senior at Virginia Tech, I'm sure he could've faked his way through the tests. It's just a tragedy, and hopefully we want see it happen again. Though inevitably we will as history repeats itself.

The thing is this guy had it in his head to kill relentlessly, he was going to do it, whether he had a gun or not. Just think what a couple of box cutters did on 9/11. (I say it in that manner, using the logic of most anti-gun advocates)
