virginia tech shootings

i just read the news online that the dealiest campus shootings in the United States just occured this morning at Virginia Tech.
33 dead including the gunman and at least 29 wounded. apparently one was killed in a dorm, and the rest in a classroom.

all i can say is.. it's scary. scary that such a thing could happen so suddenly and in a small town campus...
and immensely sad.

bush expressed his condolences of the victims, and talked about the laws on guns in the US.
"The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed" - meaning of course that in this case it is 'against the law' to bring guns on a college campus for the use of killing poeple.

that sentence just infuriates the shit out of me.
if u're gonna cultivate a damn gun culture. you think every single person who owns a shitty weapon is a responsible sane individual who wont fire off whenever he/she pleases?
bullshit.

but i guess this isnt the thing to talk about now. but definitely in the future.
it's so sad. and so scary.
i cant imagine if that happened here.
i feel really affected, as im sure all other college students here do, even though it's far away.
but really it kinda isnt that far.
