Posted by samzenpus on from the pass-the-buck dept.

RickRussellTX writes "A panel of Bush administration officials, including several bureau chiefs, concludes that confusing privacy laws contributed to the Virgina Tech shootings. The report claims that confusion over student privacy and medical privacy laws "has limited the ability of these officials to prevent the kind of violence that occurred at Virginia Tech.""

    If a panel of Bush administration officials doesn't like it, it's probably the best plan Americans.

    If the same panel recommends changes, I strongly disagree with proposed changes.

    If we have a little more BushThink we'll all be doomed.

    Yeah, I mean, remember all the shooting sprees and collateral damage from mass hysteria when everybody had guns in the 18th and 19th centuries? Oh, neither do I.

    It is a social problem.

    It will not be fixed by government regulation.
