I really dont believe that having a "mental illness database" would stop people like Cho from killing others. Stricter gun control laws would not have stopped Cho from killing either. He could have made bombs using instructions easily obtained from many websites, he could have poisoned the mashed potatoes in the cafeteria, he could have run down the students with his car, the list goes on and on.

IMO having such a database would further erode our right to privacy, and would only serve to limit our RIGHTS as outlined in the Constitution. I am 110% against this idea, as I am with any law that takes away the freedoms I enjoy as an American. I believe that we only have two options that would help prevent attacks like this:

1. Throw the Constitution in the trash and become a police state where we enjoy absolutely NO civil liberties and have no freedoms whatsoever.

2. Restore the rights of Americans to defend themselves EVERYWHERE they go.

I won't live in a country where option 1 is the answer.

Anyway, thats my two cents worth.
