Virginia Tech shooting tragedy

The shooting down of 32 students in VT campus is such a pitiful tragedy. 32 innocent lives were lost for no apparent reason at all. Why?

It is the same situation for victims of snatch thieves. Many of them lost their lives for just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You can say that the society we live in is a cruel one.

I was told that in Guangzhou, China, a lot of snatch theives were committed by riders of motorcycles. To curb this criminal act, the authorities there banned all motobikes from the CBD. What happens outside the CBD, I don't know.

So the parallel from the Guangzhou case is that there should be greater control on the ownership of arms in USA. Everybody knows that. Still, there is no action from the authorities. Why?
