The university in Blacksburg, Virginia, will hold ceremonies on Wednesday to remember the victims of the shooting, which grabbed worldwide attention and rekindled debate about US gun laws. As the Virginia Tech community moves on from the tragedy, the politics of gun control continue to rage. Pro- and anti-gun control groups have used the shooting spree to firm up their positions.
There is no easy answer and whatever the outcome, it is sure to enrage a large number of people with very strong opinions. Sometimes I wonder if lesser freedom and the perceived heavy handedness of authorities in India is an easy way out?

Jist: Students want guns! to protect themselves!!
Btw, if my memory serves me right, last year there have been 3 shootings in India as well.. Aping Americans in everything is not the right way to go :(
April 16th is now the university memorial day...
We are Virginia Tech We Will prevail :)
Awesome Video...
I wish there was more to it, than just making it a memorial day...no point in remembering them just one day n paying homage, if there is something not done to prevent more such memorial days across universities from happening...its not about memories..its about the life...and the right to live it!
