But the doctors released him to undergo outpatient care, so it does not show on the records. Criminals will always have access to guns, legally or otherwise. take the massacare for example. whether cho gets the gun legally or illegally, that shooting was waiting to happen given his mental state and preparation. Ironically, virginia tech prohibits students from bringing guns to school. so although virginia has one of the highest gun owning population, no one in the school carried a firearm that can be used to stop cho. Sad, the rule that was supposed to protect them in the end failed them. Check the statistics for death by gunshot for past 5 years. then compare to the statistics for death by guns bought legally. most of the killings in the us are by guns bought illegally, not by owners who owns guns legally. Had the Brady Bill gone through without the compromises made (a result of NRA's intensive lobbying), it would make much difference, because those laws stops people from purchasing guns, not criminals.</blockquote>
