What do you gun control advocates make of this?

A deeply troubled and disgruntled foreign student runs afoul of college authorities.
He comes to the Virginia campus armed and starts shooting in one building.
But, unlike the massacre at Virginia Tech last week, the damage was contained in this incident that occurred five years ago, before the state legislature banned guns on college campuses.
(Story continues below)
Peter Odighizuwa
On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, a 43-year-old student from Nigeria, walked into the Appalachian School of Law offices of Dean Anthony Sutin, 42, a former acting assistant U.S. attorney, and professor Thomas Blackwell, 41, and opened fire with a .380 ACP semi-automatic handgun – shooting them at close range.
Also killed in the same building was student Angela Denise Dales, 33. Three others were wounded.
As soon as the gunfire erupted, two students acting independently of one another, Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, ran to their vehicles to retrieve firearms. Gross, an off-duty police officer in his home state of North Carolina, got his 9mm pistol and body armor. Bridges got out his .357 Magnum.
Bridges and Gross went back to the building where the shots were heard and as Odighizuwa exited, they approached from different angles. Bridges yelled for him to drop his weapon and the shooter was subdued by several unarmed students.
Gross went back to his car and got handcuffs to detain the shooter until police arrived.
Most news reports of the incident failed to mention the presence of two armed students and their role in subduing the shooter, saying only that he was tackled by bystanders.
Odighizuwa was tried for the murders and sentenced to multiple life terms in prison.
Virginia Tech, like many of the nations schools and college campuses, is a so-called "gun-free zone," which Second Amendment supporters say invites gun violence – especially from disturbed individuals seeking to kill as many victims as possible.
Foreign-born student Cho Seung-Hui murdered 32 and wounded another 15 before turning his gun on himself.
A year earlier, the Virginia legislature banned all guns on campus in the interest of safety.
Answer: Interesting story. A lot of Pro-Gun John Wayne wanna-be's love these stories. They think it makes an argument for looser gun controls. Many of them will even say "gun control doesn't work", this merely shows that they live entirely engrossed in their own small minded, ill-educated little community. All over the world are countries who DO have Gun Control, and have never had a massacre like those in the US schools.
A little history for you........

As an example, take the UK, or Ireland and search for statistics on the Per Capita level of Gun crime compared to the US. It shows to anyone not close minded and desperate to support their own lust for weapons of death, that gun control seems to work damn well in any country that takes it seriously.
After Irelands Civil war and war of independence every household in the country had guns, the first government of the new state had the guts and brains to outlaw them entirely, it took several years and a few protests, but now at 30, having lived in many of the cities in Ireland at one time or another, I have never even seen a gun in my entire life. Shootings are rare and far between and nearly always between two criminals, no innocents involved. Why? Because it's nearly impossible to get a gun here. Here in a fight outside a pub, tempers flare a few punches are thrown, thats it, in the states tempers flare.. and chances are at least one of the guys involved has a loaded gun in his car...

Why is the Fort Hood army base shootings being treated differently to other US shootings?
I cant help but notice that the recent shootings at Fort Hood are receiving more importance and media focus than the other outbursts of shootings that have occurred across the US in the last decade or so.
Heres a brief list of just those that occurred in schools:
" - October 2007: A teenage gunman reportedly shoots and wounds five people at a high school in Cleveland, Ohio, before killing himself.
April 2007: At least 32 people are killed in two shooting incidents in the campus of Virginia Tech university in Virginia.
- October 2006: A 32-year-old gunman shoots dead at least five girls at an Amish school in Pennsylvania, before killing himself

In these cases, the victims were not soldiers but purely civilians and often kids; boys and girls, and/or teachers etc. If anyone didnt deserve to be killed, it was these victims.
There were no flags being flown on buildings or repeated tributes and interventions by the President into the matter or on the level as with case...it just appears that this spree is being treated with more attention, suspiciously disproportionate attention it must be said...
All I am saying is that isnt the life of these kids and teachers of the same value as soldiers...if anything they were more undeserving of getting killed whereas soldiers kind of train for combat to kill or be killed (but that doesnt mean of course that it automatically justifies their killing).
Would like to hear your thoughts...
@michael. OBVIOUSLY they made headlines!You can clearly see the list above is taken from BBC! But the level of attention and focus is different; flags being flown at half mast for 5 days, the president intervening and calling it a day of mourning...
Answer: The Fort Hood shooting is being handled differently due to MIlitary Justice.
Fort Hood is a Federal Military Operation, it has its own laws, own police, own legal system, and their own punishments, which are substantially harsher than civilian punishments.
The fact that this incident happened on a heavily secured military post and that the perpetrator was a high ranking military officer AND a Doctor of Psychiatry is what makes this HIGHLY unusual and a HIGHLY dangerous situation.
It certainly doesn't help the situation that this officer came from Jordanian ancestry, therefore giving him a noticeably Arabic name making everyone jump to conclusions.
Those with racial prejudices and those who have mistrusts of all things and conspiracy theories galore are already making this a "Muslim Assault of a Military Base Within the Country".
If our in-country military bases are not safe.... what is?
All of this PLUS the fact that it IS the biggest incident of its kind on a military base in history.
This incident has nothing to do whatsoever with the horrible deaths of these children or teachers .... no comparison.
This situation is about National Security, possible foreign involvement, assassination (notice I did NOT say murder) of US military personnel by other US military personnel, the current mental state of our fighting force ....
If we are NOT safe inside a US Army base, where the hell ARE we save?
If a high ranking military officer and Doctor of Psychiatry cracks up and has a nervous breakdown, what the hell kind of shape is our 19 yr old soldiers in?
