Fidiots and Gun Control

I'm not a monster with no feelings...however as I sat in the floor with my wife watching the news of the Virginia Tech tragedy I turned to her and remarked, "You watch some idiot liberal senator or congressman will use this as an opportunity to further their agenda on gun control."

I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but within hours of the news report Barbara Boxer, Democratic liberal senator from California was already barking about banning handguns, and tighter restrictions and laws concerning the sale and ownership of guns.

I have said it before and I will say it again....My grandfather used to have a bumper sticker on the back of his truck that read "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE....PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.....if 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui had not had access to a gun he would have still lashed out with an axe, a knife, a car, or even a home made bomb.

Now as more of this story leaks out of the liberal pinko media outlets we come to understand that Cho Seung-Hui was mentally disturbed and there were many chances to stop him before he arrived at this point. Earlier in the day, authorities disclosed that more than a year before the massacre, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two women and was taken to a psychiatric hospital on a magistrate's orders and was pronounced a danger to himself. But he was released with orders to undergo outpatient treatment.
The disclosure added to the rapidly growing list of warning signs that appeared well before the student opened fire. Among other things, Cho's twisted, violence-filled writings and sullen, vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class and was repeatedly urged to get counseling. authorities disclosed that in November and December 2005, two women complained to campus police that they had received calls and computer messages from Cho. On Dec. 13, 2005, a magistrate ordered Cho to undergo an evaluation at Carilion St. Albans, a private psychiatric hospital. The magistrate signed the order after an initial evaluation found probable cause that Cho was a danger to himself or others as a result of mental illness.
The next day, according to court records, doctors at Carilion conducted further examination and a special justice, Paul M. Barnett, approved outpatient treatment.
A medical examination conducted Dec. 14 reported that that Cho's "affect is flat. .... He does not acknowledge symptoms of a thought disorder. The court papers indicate that Barnett checked a box that said Cho "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness." Barnett did not check the box that would indicate he was a danger to others. (Note if this fidiot judge had checked this box Cho would not have been allowed to buy a gun) It is unclear how long Cho stayed at Carilion, though court papers indicate he was free to leave as of Dec. 14. Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said Cho had been continually enrolled at Tech and never took a leave of absence. One of the first Virginia Tech officials to recognize Cho's problems was award-winning poet Nikki Giovanni, who kicked him out of her introduction to creative writing class in late 2005.
Students in Giovanni's class had told their professor that Cho was taking photographs of their legs and knees under the desks with his cell phone. Female students refused to come to class. She said she considered him "mean" and "a bully."
Lucinda Roy, professor of English at Virginia Tech, said that she, too, relayed her concerns to campus police and various other college units after Cho displayed antisocial behavior in her class and handed in disturbing writing assignments. Hello! these fidiots had every chance over a year and a half period to do something about this nut....

If the legal system and this fidiot judge had done their job in the first place in 2005 this guy would have had a record and not been allowed to purchase a gun in the first place. Maybe if fidiots like Barbara Boxer were just a little tougher on crime instead of worrying about the violating the rights of murderers, rapists, child molesters, and criminals........this sort of thing would not have happened. The legal system had the opportunity to shut this guy down in 2005 but the wonderful liberal democrats are more concerned with slapping a band-aid on the worlds problems and hugging a few trees, than taking care of business.

If fidiots like Ms. Boxer want to point the finger at someone or something how about Judge Paul M. Barnett, or our failing legal system? Blaming this tragedy on a gun and making it harder, or against the law for honest law abiding taxpaying citizens to buy or own a gun is not the answer...

A better case could be made to outlaw cars, as they kill many more people each year than guns do....I'm also willing to bet that her security people are carrying a few guns...typical liberal hypocrisy "do as i say not as i do"....lets see how effective they are carrying flowers to protect her worthless hide...

The Virginia Tech tragedy is very sad and i hope the people that had the chance to shut this guy down are held responsible for the lack of action.

My deepest sympathies go out to the victims and their families

Later...
