    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Just go and read the Second Amendment. I would like to support Gun Control as much as anyone, but ... the honest truth is ... it's unconstitutional.

    And ... to me, the Constitution is more important than any single issue. I would support an Amendment that "modifies" the 2nd Amendment, but ... when we start calling for amendments to the constitution, we get into lots of other stuff that, to me, is much more important, and much more dangerous, than Gun Control.

    Let's face it ... VaTech screwed up monumentally in failing to follow up on all the leads in "the shooter's" writings, and in failing to lock down for 2 hours. Now, VaTech will "pay the fiddler." That's the way it works. If VaTech doesn't screw up, two people die. As it is ...

    Later,
