Glad you are ok Aramarth.
Lecter wins, hard.
Smittens, you're a flaming idiot.
Restricting guns WILL NOT, EVER, succeed in keeping them out of the hands of criminals. If the criminals need to buy them from Darfur and have them smuggled to the US, THEY WILL DO IT. The ONLY people who are prevented from obtaining weapons by making them illegal are the people who want to follow the law. This does not apply to criminals.
If that kind of gun control worked, VA Tech Never would have Happened! After all, it was illegal for ANYONE to carry weapons on the campus. So why did it happen? Because a criminal did what all criminals do. HE BROKE THE LAW.
The kind of people who are honest enough to turn in their guns are exactly the kind of people you WANT to have them, because they will uphold the law and help to prevent violent criminals (who will have guns anyway) from taking more lives.
The more guns there are in the hands of the public, the less violent crime there is. It's a statistically proven fact!

This seems to be continuing to wander off course. If people want to discuss gun control, there's a thread in Off-Topic.
If anyone else knows of any other VO users or VA Tech connections, they're welcome to start a new thread, I'm locking this one for now. Glad Aramarth is safe.
