The horror of the killings this morning at Virginia Tech University is a shock to us all. So far there are reports of 32 killed and 15 wounded by a lone gunman. It is said to be the worst school shooting in U.S. history and much remains unanswered as information is still being gathered. It is hard to take in the enormity of this event.

Only last Friday the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported a .45-caliber gun was confiscated from a LV student, the 38th gun confiscation this school year. You can read it by clicking here.

That same day Nevada state Senator Bob Beers' bill as a counter measure to potential terrorism and as a deterrent to school violence was killed as also reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. You can read the article here.
