Alternative explanations to VA Tech massacre don't cut the mustard (NRO)

Below are responses at the conservative NationalReview.com to the VA Tech shooting rampage. Alternative explanations are given, most notably (and conveniently) "inexplicable evil," but all these pundits carefully avoid the obvious: How "evil" combined with easy access to guns is a potently lethal combination.

Wake up! Write your Congressmen and demand action. We can't stick our heads in the sand, or pretend we're in the 18th century fighting King George, anymore.
