Here's a little article about how people that think massacres like what happened at Virginia Tech only happen in the United States, that we have some sort of unique "gun culture" that creates more mass murders. Not true at all. Many countries have massacres of this type, and many have had incidents like this with much stronger gun control laws in place. Heck, Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, and the mayor of Nagasaki was shot like a dog in the street just last week. Australia had a mass murder in 1996, and in response they tightened their gun control laws. Since then the murder rate has gone UP in Australia.

People who think gun control is the solution haven't actually spent much time learning the facts. And people who think this is something that only happens in the United States ignorant fools. The difference is that when something like this happens in the U.S., it is big news all over the world for at least a few days. When something like this happens in Switzerland (some guy shot up and killed an entire city council a few years ago), it gets a line or two in the paper, someone blames imported US gun culture, and everyone tries to forget about it.
