I heard about this. It's stupid that the guy killed do many people because he broke up with his girlfirend. Dumbest thing ever.

Actually, that was only a rumor. Apparently, this kid
was a loner, and would write plays centered around violence.
:
In screenplays Cho wrote for a class last fall, characters throw hammers and attack with chainsaws, said a student who attended Virginia Tech last fall. In another, Cho concocted a tale of students who fantasize about stalking and killing a teacher who sexually molested them.
"When we read Cho's plays, it was like something out of a nightmare," former classmate Ian MacFarlane, now an AOL employee, wrote in a blog posted on an AOL Web site.
"The plays had really twisted, macabre violence that used weapons I wouldn't have even thought of."
He said he and other students "were talking to each other with serious worry about whether he could be a school shooter."

They really were idiots for not doing something about him. I mean, I could understand if he never acted in such a manner before, but this kid was
clearly either psychotic or psychopathic.
EDIT: Just noticed your post, BM

I think it is quite clear that criminals are not able to be properly aware of the consequences of their actions, which is consistent with the spontaneity and nature of most armed crimes. And with massive crossfire from everyone with a powerful weapons that have become popular, the collateral will be inevitable and massive.

Actually, most criminals
are aware of the consequences of their actions. Only the psychopathic or sociopathic criminals would either would not realize the enormous consequences of their actions, or ignore them completely and commit the crime regardless.
And if the criminals were surrounded by a bunch of armed citizens, I doubt a gunfight would ensue.
