GWB's culpability in the VT shootings.

I do not think anything Glorious Leader Bush has done lead to the events in Virginia.....BUT
He repeatedly stated his support for renewing the Assault Weapons Ban, and then did absolutely nothing, letting it expire. Well, part of that law was that semis could not have clips with more than nine rounds. Seung-Hui Cho had a Glock with a large capacity clip. No, the law would not have stopped this tragedy, but it probably would have reduced the number of victims.
Thank you asshole Bush!

While Bush is to blame for many things, this isn't one of them. He's no more to blame for VT than Clinton is for Columbine.
