Is campus massacre a form of terrorism?

The Virginia Tech shooting reminded all of us that we need more effective firearm controls. Granted, the NRA is the most powerful lobbying organization in the country. Its record campaign contributions delivers tons of votes and its effective lobbying for gun ownership and hunting rights makes up for easy access to guns and ammos.Like some take at face-value what's in the Koran or the Bible, the NRA's success also hinges on a literal interpretation of an obsolete Second Amendment. While this is not the first school massacre, politicians seem unwilling to touch the issue as it's tainted with election money and therefore taboo. Of course, if the slaughter had been the work of some Islamist dude, we’d be on red alert and President Bush would be scaring the wits out of us all. But again, isn't campus massacre a form of terrorism? It's certainly not a mild derivative. Now,where do we go from here?
