Disgusting
I know people on both sides of this debate are going to grasp it as proof that their particular side is right.
I’m amazed, though, how people can think that the way to prevent these tragedies, is to let college students arm themselves on campus.
I can think of nothing more irresponsible.
And Kudos to John Derbyshire who, very bravely, criticizes the victims of this tragedy while laying out his ‘plan’ if he should ever be shot at. This is beyond disgusting.

I live about an hour from Tech and am fortunate not to personally know anyone involved in the tragedy. I do have a good friend whose friend was shot twice in the leg (he'll be ok). You're 100% right that these people who are seizing this tragedy as a tool to push their political agenda (be it pro-gun or anti-gun) before the smoke has even cleared are truly disgusting. People are dead, others are wounded, and even more have psychological scars that will not soon heal. I have nothing but contempt for those who refuse to allow any grieving time.
