I see a couple of 'fall-outs' from this, especially in light of some of the comments made by leading anti-gun democraps after the shootings. The comments were on the level of 'this is a time for grieving and we will deal with the gun issue later' because most of those anti-gun people realize this really isn't a gun issue.
I believe the failures here will land squarely on the shoulders of the educational and mental health systems in Va. The educational system should have policy and procedure in effect to provide information on treatment to the state mental health authority, who should have the obligation to share that with law authorities. Had the college shared cho's mental health background with the state and had the state centralized that information for use by law enforcement, and had Va a NICS requirement, the kid wouldn't have gotten his guns legally. And I think that's whay the anti-gunners are so quiet about this.
This is not the fault of the pro-gun groups, this is the fault of the state of Virginia for not mandating that all mental health treatment data be submitted to a central archive, for not mandating that any mental health treatment provided on or by college campuses be reported to that archive and for not having a NICS background check (this last is one of the reasons bloomberg of nyc went about his famous sting operation). Now, since the anti-gunners cannot blame the NRA or guns in general, they keep their mouths shut. Even the psychiatrist interviewed said simply - you can not predict the actions of a madman, and cho was mad.
Sadly, few of the anti-gunners will ever show condolence for the victims or their families. JMTCW. Mikey.
