Nice try but Pearl comes close to your supposition. Regardless it was a kid in a rage with a rifle who still got his primary targets. The Appalachian suspect was held by several students after he came outside the building and dropped the weapon. Again his shooting was in a rage and in both cases people died. At VA tech this kid planned it, had a semiautomatic pistol among other things and chain locked the doors to prevent escape and hamper rescue.
We just don't know if students/instructors carrying would have helped or not. You guys see a CC target and assume someone might have stopped it. I see a well thought murder spree and remember just a week or two ago, trained FBI agents killed their own guy.
And from what I understand, banned guns on campus notwithstanding, VA has fairly *liberal* gun laws as compared to other states.
