In view of the Virginia Tech massacre that happened recently, I'm sure everyone was shocked and saddened by this senseless killing. So am I. But what I don't really expect to read in the papers is about the fact that people are pushing the blame to the person who sold Cho Seung-Hui the guns. I mean, what kind of a nonsense is this supposed to be? If anyone is to blame, it should have been the government who allowed its citizens to buy arms in the first place. Although it's quite ridiculous that the person who sold Cho Seung-Hui guns didn't stop to think why would a student need arms for? And just a couple of days later, I heard on radio about this professor explaining that it's considered American culture to have guns due to the fact that it's a culture. Could someone explain to me what kind of a culture would allow it's citizens to purchase arms? Even more bewildering is the fact that a teacher noticed Cho's behaviour is somewhat disturbing and had asked him to go for counselling (which I felt was the right thing to do), he refused and she left it at that. Could someone also explain to me why wasn't counselling re-inforced in American schools? Just because Cho refused to go, it doesn't mean "anyone's hands are tied"! Because of the fact that there is something disturbing about Cho, the teacher should have insisted that he go for couselling regardless of whatever excuse Cho has given. If someone had forced Cho to go for counselling, maybe the massacre wouldn't have happened in the first place! For for god's sake, ban the sale of guns in your country, America! Wake up! This isn't the first school shooting/massacre and I am definitely convinced that this won't be the last either!!
