According to federal law, anyone who is or has been previously declared as mentally unstable should not be able to obtain any type of fire arm. Thus, the shooter from the Virginia Tech massacre Seung-Hui Cho should not have been able to obtain the two guns he had used because he had been previously found mentally ill. Thus, attention on the ease that comes with purchasing firearms in the United States has strengthened.
OKAY. so we're not able to smoke, drink, or buy lotto by a certain age, while the rest of the world can at what seems like any time...BUT we could apparently buy guns more easily here in the United States than in any other country. i just hope that we really learn from this - 1. crime rates would drop if gun control was heightened - 2. more attention toward the mentally unstable is needed. if Cho would have gotten the help that he truly needed, this could have been prevented.
