After something bad happens at a place/school (like the Virginia Tech shooting), people tend to stay away from that place/school, but really there's probably less of a chance of something occurring again because that school/place will now be more aware of those threats and what to do to prevent them, amirite?
I don't know the details, but I heard that they actually made it illegal for ANYONE-including security guards-to have guns on Virginia Tech's campus. I'm not a huge advocate for gun use, but in a huge school, it's possible for any bozo with a gun to sneak in and mow down several buildings before he's caught. If at least security guards (and possibly teachers) have guns, they can stop this person.
Virginia Tech had another shooting about a month ago..
The irony is that it DID happen there again.
Virginia Tech set a new record for their admissions the year after the massacre. I don't think it drove many people away.
And people exploit the situation to push their agendas.

I agree with this post in other cases though.
