Cho was ORDERED BY A JUDGE to a mental health facility in 2005

I like the joke in Wyoming, and seen it in Texas, where a guy goes into a grocery store and pulls out a gun saying "this is a stickup", and instantly, no less than a dozen customers pull out their CCWs and hold them on the gunman. An armed socity is a polite society. What if that student Cho, had half an inkling that students in the classroom could end his game before it started, or that the gals he was stalking, could stop him dead if he even tried to approach them? Would he try anyways, knowing he probably could not exact some imaginary revenge before feeling the pain of a bullet?

The details of Cho's hospitalization were outlined in court documents in Montgomery County, Va. The documents showed that Cho was taken to a hospital in Christiansburg, near the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, on the night of Dec. 13, 2005. But, after a doctor reported that Cho denied having suicidal thoughts, a court magistrate ordered him released for outpatient treatment, court documents show.

The order, signed by Montgomery County, Va., Special Justice Paul M. Barnett, checked a box that said Cho "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness." But Barnett checked another box that said involuntary hospitalization was not necessary.


and a magistrate is a far cry from a judge

Be careful what you wish for folks... remember that one of the bills McCarthy has sponsored (with NRA support) is a bill updating NICS to include this type of information. We have had that discussion already and many here were opposed to it then.
