Since the dawn of civilization there is violence. If you believe in Bible the first murder case happened with the children of Adam and Eve. The Bible did not go a lot of details of the jealousy/anger of Cain that triggered the murder. But yikes, jealousy/anger can have devastating results.
This result is amplified in modern world when people have guns.
It is even more amplified when there are people with psychological issues with access to guns.
The shocking rampage of a peaceful Virginia Tech campus once again raised serious problem in America: rampage can happen anytime, anywhere. The offender would self destruct afterwards. There is nothing we can retaliate against it. We can't torture the offender in years-long trials and jail. We are simply helpless.
Look folks, the gun laws don't work. The waiting period doesn't work. The background checks doesn't work. Nothing prevents YOU being the next victim of random rampage.
Though the motive of this particular case of Virginia Tech shooting is not clear at this point. Definitely this guy has some pyschological issues. An explanation perhaps can never be satisfying.
So-called expert psychiatrist get paid huge sums may say obvious things such as he is neglected by parents or frustration with relationships.
Parents: you MUST look after your kids, make sure their mental well beings. Relationships: it is not the end of the world if the girl dumps you. We must get over past hardships. Shooting people randomly solves nothing ok?
Sad fact: there are wierdos who cannot express themselves, who don't think logically, and otherwise mentally deficient. And no one is willing to listen to them. What do we call them? defects of society? There are also poor people who were grown up incorrectly (due to parent neglect or whatever), had sad past or whatever.
But the sad fact is these guys can get access to guns.
The solution is not wearing bullet proof vest to class.
The solution is not everyone carry a gun like in Star Trek.
The solution is not keep a metal detector in every building.
I see no solution in sight.
Crazy shooting and bombing is happening everyday in warzones. Are we thinking of solutions in those places? These guys have a motive: revenge.

I totally agree with you. "The gun laws don't work". I think the Bush Administration has a chance now to improve their public image by putting in more gun control.
