There were a total of 32 students and lecturers killed mercilessly by a bloody and senseless killer, a Korean student, Seung-Hui Cho, whom in the end also shot himself to death.

This case has not only horrified the whole America, but also throughout the whole world. After the disaster, the society of America agreed in accordance that the over-general usage of machine gun in their culture is one of the major causes of disaster within school compounds. Therefore, there’s a debate over revising the rules and regulations of possessing machine guns.
