You would be up in arms if you were not allowed to have kids because a few parents killed theirs.

Additionally, if Virgina Tech were not a gun free zone. Those students that were murdered would have been afforded the ability to protect themselves.
In 1996, a ban on semi-automatic weapons was enforced in Australia as a result of the Port Arthur massacre and several similar incidents in the 80s and early 90s.

Since that ban - there has been only one similar incident (2002 at Monash Uni in Melbourne when 2 peolple were killed and 5 wounded)

How many innocent Americans have been killed by heavily armed nutters in schools or shopping malls since 1996?
