"In June, Tech's governing board approved a violence prevention policy reiterating its ban on students or employees carrying guns and prohibiting visitors from bringing them into campus facilities."

One has to assume the shooter was not aware of this policy.

"I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."

Well, as long as everyone feels safe, it's probably OK.

I was thinking to myself, if even one student in that class that was basically slaughtered had a handgun MAYBE he could have created enough disturbance, if not taking out the gunman himself that the fellow would have fled. I subscribe to the adage GUNS dont kill people, PEOPLE kill people. I often carry a 45. but I would run away if I could before I would shoot someone, but if my back were against a wall I would use it. jdn
