When Guns Are Only In The Wrong Hands

I'm sure by now you have heard about the Virginia Tech shootings. So of course we have the usual:
"We live in a society where guns are pretty well accepted," said Jim Sollo, of Virginians Against Handgun Violence. "There are 200 million guns in this society and obviously some in the wrong hands."
Actually what this shooting proves is that there were not enough guns in the right hands.

The Virginia Legislature had an opportunity to fix the problem of not enough guns in the right hands and declined. This could be the opportunity many politicians look for. A chance to change their minds.

Reliapundit adds: You are 100% right M Simon. One armed student or aremd guard within earshot of the first gun-shot could have ended the madman's spree well before so many were murdered.

Our hearts go out to the shocked and grieving families.
