Prayers for the all of them and their families. Live channels are saying 8 dead possibly 10.

Now lets wait on the "OMG we got to ban shotguns"

F*ck em. Can't we just admit as a country that we do not care about school shootings? We do nothing to stop them so it's obvious we've stopped caring. My kids are out of school so not my problem anymore. I could "send thoughts and prayers" on the internet but that involves typin' and whatnot and is tiring.

Am I correct in forum etiquette responding with Axl wrote that?



This just sucks..... What's the answer? How are any gun bans going to prevent this tragedy? If you have guns in your house at all there is a shotgun and .38 at minimum.

There has to be a systematic change to the way we treat each other as a society. If you treat other people like they are beneath you this is the consequence. This type of tragedy it always seems takes years of being an outcast with peers, educators, and parents turning a blind eye.

If kids really don't want this happening at there school walking out won't help. Being nice to the kids that have been picked on since middle school will help. Accepting the kid who is different, whatever that non-normal different in your community is, will help. There is no other answer that I see.

Ever since character education was dropped from the school curriculum years ago and replaced with test taking classes, School violence and school shootings have increased. As long as our society is more concerned about test scores and less concerned about our children, we are going to have more mental health issues that lead to more community and school violence.

OK Jade, why don't you elighten us with your solution?

Last month, Democrat polititians, the media talking heads, and many on the left told us the solution was to outlaw AR-15s, bump stocks and magazines over 10 rounds. If we just did this, our children would be safe. Now this spoiled punk narcissi, a product of the PC leftist education system, decided to use a "Uncle Joe Biden approved" shotgun, and a .38 revolver. Looks like the "solution" wasn't a solution after all.

When Trump and the right suggested that we needed better security at out schools, that we had to do away with these "gun free helpless victim zones", that we had to start providing armed security to protect our children, and allow QUALIFIED teachers to carry, we where laughed at and ridiculed by the left.

So if the ideas of the right are so ridiculous, and the outlawing of a style of firearm isn't going to work, then what do we do?

Last month on other boards I was ridiculed and promised that "no one was after my guns". These same posters are now calling for the outright banning of all civilian owned firearms. At least the liars are now being truthful.

The AR-15 has been on the civilian market for close to 50 years. For over 80 years we have had semi-auto rifles with far more firepower then an AR-15 in the hands of civilians. Heck, before 1934 you could purchase a Thompson sub-machine gun through the mail. My dad told me that when he was a boy, kids would carry their shotguns to school and hunt on their way to and from. Not too many years ago, you could find pickup trucks in school parking lots, with rifles in the rear window gun racks. Yet until recently, kids never thought of shooting up schools. What has changed?

The easiest solution which i will always stand behind is not in gun control, banning weapons, mental health blah blah blah. These are all tiny little bandaids. How about a high tech security entrance into the school. Something that can be retrofitted in one day or less, Start putting them together n shipping em out. Similar to an airlock system complete with metal detector, bullet/shatterproof glass.

The solution in the short run is stop making media heroes out of these killers, it only cases other losers to try and top the last loser.

https://nonotoriety.com 

"The quest for notoriety and infamy is a well known motivating factor in rampage mass killings and violent copycat crimes. In an effort to reduce future tragedies, we CHALLENGE THE MEDIA – calling for RESPONSIBLE MEDIA COVERAGE FOR THE SAKE OF PUBLIC SAFETY when reporting on individuals who commit or attempt acts of rampage mass violence thereby depriving violent like minded individuals the media celebrity and media spotlight they so crave."

I've been saying this for a while now.

#18 Gene-

no one living with a solidly normal mind thinks it would be cool to top a previous tragedy. Bullied kids don't always snap but some just don't have the ability to compartmentalize their anguish.

even if you could soft-censor the New York Times et al, I'm gonna guess without any proof that a kid like the one today has not read a major newspaper in his life.
All info comes through his phone...like so many his age.

The phrase "responsible media coverage" actually frightens me. If I had a say so, it sure wouldn't be what Trump would list. But I wouldn't say so...he might.
Opening that soft censor door could lead to colossal unintended repercussions down the road.

Freedom brings risks.

Poignant commentary and perspective.

Sadly, he's right. We're used to school shootings. It's old news.

And everybody's so entrenched in their personal politics and side that they've stopped working together as parents and grandparents to protect children.

What's ever wrong with our kids didn't fall far from the tree.

Kind of reminds me of the Judgement of Solomon.  
We've collectively decide to cut the child in half.

 When we really care about our kids again maybe we'll find a solution.
