Nope, blame a system which allows someone who is under treatment for
depression yet can walk up to the counter in a gunshop, slap down a
credit card and walk out with a pistol and ammunition...no check, no
wait...

Doesn't work that way. People under treatment for severe psychiactric
treatment are not allowed to purchase firearms. Handguns have a
mandatory waiting list and non-residents can't buy them anyways. And
everyone is suppossed to get checked.


Yes, I did say "effective" gun control.


"uthorities found a receipt for a Glock 9 millimetre handgun, bought
last month, in Cho's backpack which also contained two knives and a
cache of bullets, ABC reported.

He bought his second weapon, a .22 calibre pistol, within the last
week.

According to the AP news agency, Cho walked into a Virginia gun shop,
put down a credit card and walked out with a Glock and a box of
ammunition. He paid $US571 ($687).

I'm not buying any of that. Federal law requires a background check and a
waiting period for same. This smacks of liberal media distortion of the
facts.
