Perhaps this is an example of how well the current system actually works:

A Virginia district court found Virginia Tech killer Seung-Hui Cho to be “mentally ill” and an imminent danger to others,” according to a 2005 temporary detention order obtained by ABC News.

Virginia Tech police say Cho was taken to a nearby psychiatric hospital for evaluation in December 2005, after two female schoolmates said they received threatening messages from him and police and school officials became concerned that he might be suicidal.

So a court found Cho “mentally ill” and an imminent danger to other’s, yet less than a year and a half later the same state allowed him to own a gun? Don’t write a book critical of Bush or you won’t be able to fly, but become a danger to other citizens and you can own a gun!

This new revelation has just really put the gun control argument into a new light. The laws need to change and need changed NOW! We have perfect reason fresh in our memory to make the changes and can not afford another tragedy like this. We always talk about change when something happens, but no change ever occurs. Any politician (Republican or Democrat) who refuses to address this situation and spark life into the debate on Capital Hill does not deserve support in 2008.
