Virginia Tech shootings (doors, American, history, Hang)

Following the massacre at Dunblane, Scotland, the British government put a total ban on hand guns and restricted other firearms to gun clubs.
Also, to own a firearm in this country, you now need 3 written references from respectable members of society.
We even restricted the sale of replica guns.
These measures were known as the "snowflake effect"...the plan was the need to make a start somewhere, despite existing guns still being on the street.

However, gun crime in Britain has increased, probably because of black market weapons flooding the market. A lot of killings in this country are drug related...until recent years that is, now young people are being shot dead as a means of settling petty arguments.
I believe gun crime in Britain would be far worse, if the gun laws hadn't been introduced.

God only knows what the U.S is going to be like, in say 10 years time, if your government fail to implement gun reforms in the near future.

If the U.S. don't do something about their gun laws, trends suggest that your in for a lot more incidents like the one in Virginia.
