We also need to make it harder to get guns. I think there needs to be more laws limiting guns to people who have mental problems even people who were given depression pill from their doctor. We as a people need to make sure that another VT or NIU never happen again.

Thoughts or Ideas?

Passing more lame laws to restrict law abiding citizens form access and use of firearms will never stop another VT or NIU. The problem is not with the guns but the people. There already is a law that does not allow the mentally ill to purchase guns, but the Dr's didn't do their job of inputing in information in to the system. So long as the focus is not on the source of the problem nothing will change.
