VT Resident?: YesLaw Abiding Citizen Prior to Incident: Unknown

Injury Type: None
Actual Gun Use: NoGun Actually Fired: No
Domestic Violence: NoSuicide: No
Details: 3 students were arrested for making threats against classmates. The school was locked down for hours. No weapons of any kind were found.
Notice how the media will only say "threat involving a weapon,: "a student with a weapon," "threatened three others with a weapon," "no weapon was found,"
The only source that stated a gun threat was, you guessed it, the VTDigger.
But notice the choice of words by the Digger referring to law-enforcement's use of "protective gear, including vests and helmets, carrying long guns."
If that was a description of civilians at a gun range, it would read "tactical gear, including body armor and combat helmets, carrying assault weapons with high-capacity magazines."
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
