Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said she did not personally know the gunman. But she said she spoke with Lucinda Roy, the department's director of creative writing, who had Cho in one of her classes and described him as "troubled."

"There was some concern about him," Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."
I think the solution is to take things like this more seriously. Even if you miraculously removed all guns from America, someone who goes crazy will still kill people. He may only be able to kill 8 or 9 instead of 32 but that's still a big deal. Explosives would probably be used (as in the worst school killings). Guns are not the issue. We have more school shootings in America because we have more guns, but you can't claim that we have more killers because we have no guns.

Banning something like violent movies just because they affect psychopaths is irrational.

* Enoch Brown school massacre - Franklin County, Pennsylvania, United States; July 26, 1764
* Bath School disaster - Bath, Michigan, United States; May 18, 1927
* Poe Elementary School Attack - Houston, Texas, United States; September 15, 1959
1764? 1927? The 1927 one is the worst killing. I don't think violent movies had anything to do with anything there.
