What's their point?<br/><br/>Avi: If someone joins the military, they're reasonably assured that they'll be shot at. The 32 people who died at VT were in school, in classrooms. I don't think it's relevant to compare a day at school to serving in the military in a war zone. Yeah, it could have been prevented. Hiroshima could have been prevented.

Wait, I know. let’s get a headcase to sit down and we’ll get him to think of all the wretched stuff that would never occur to any of us and then we can make a PROGRAM to counter it all happening.
