Luboš Motl, at the Reference Frame, gives us much more information than the MSM on the possible motive for the attack, and the identity of the gunman. He says what is being said is rumor, but it makes perfect sense. MSM puts lies and rumor in print as fact…at least Luboš Motl has the dignity to call things by their real names.

Students and faculty carried out some of the wounded themselves, without waiting for ambulances to arrive.

Malkin points out that the leftists are going to use the shooting as more grist for the anti-gun control mill. The lead editorial for today’s New York Times was posted yesterday:

Yesterday’s mass shooting at Virginia Tech — the worst in American history — is another horrifying reminder that some of the gravest dangers Americans face come from killers at home armed with guns that are frighteningly easy to obtain…

Yeah, just ask any criminal who buys illegal weapons on the street. If you look at the gun control laws, for law abiding citizens, there is an awful lot of red tape you need to cut through to obtain one, which slows down your ability to defend yourself, in my opinion. Most of the time there’s even a waiting period. So…criminals don’t wait, they don’t follow the law, and law abiding citizens need to go through a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo. And who are these laws supposed to protect again? The criminal, or the law abiding citizen?

Common sense has been thrown out the window at the New York Times, but we already knew that when they propped the koran flushing story for months on end. Think about it; you can’t put a square peg in a round hole. It just isn’t possible to flush a book down the toilet.

…Our hearts and the hearts of all Americans go out to the victims and their families. Sympathy was not enough at the time of Columbine, and eight years later it is not enough. What is needed, urgently, is stronger controls over the lethal weapons that cause such wasteful carnage and such unbearable loss.

Love that conclusion. What is needed is stronger controls over the legal weapons that cause this. Well these people throughout history certainly agreed with that assessment:
