Virginia Shootout

Today i was trying to imagine anything violent at my Christ College campus ...even a fist fight would seem incongruous . When i saw the news today , it just seemed so sad to me ...... what could propel a student with a good future to do something like this ????

Yes on one side is the Gun laws ...which make it very easy for a person above 18 to obtain a gun , in USA . Certain facts i looked up now on the net were shocking for me .

In the Bill of Rights, the second amendment to the Constitution reads:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Most people do not need any license to keep guns , provided they are in concealment . All you need to do is go to a registered Gun dealer , be abou\ve 18 years without a criminal record and you can buy a gun .

The guns rights group argue that right to keep guns reduces crime as it acts as a preventive . The gun control group retorts that it leads to greater accidental deaths and Shootouts .

What scares me is that even the safest of places , a university , is not safe anymore . And the enemy is no longer without ..its within .

And the rate at which India emulates USA 'popular culture' we could soon be at the threshold of such violence ......
