Could anything have been done to stop him?

Many are wondering what could have been done to stop the massacre at Virginia Tech, but I don't think that anything could have.

The killer followed the law and filled out the required forms and showed ID. He had no criminal record so nothing would have come up on a background check. He wasn't involuntarily committed into a mental institution so that didn't raise any flags but even if he had, he mostly likely would have lied on the form. He waited the required time before the second handgun.

Iraq has shown us that a determined individual with their mind set on killing - will! Today, 171 died in Baghdad. We have over 100,000 troops and they can't stop them and the troops are looking/prepared for that.

Some instantly bring up gun control, but weapons on the streets are readily available, just as drugs are. Yes, it would have made it a little more difficult, but he had a mission.

Agree or Disagree???

I agree, pretty much. Have a look.
