Right now it is time for prayers for the victims, their families, and those injured.

The dissection adnauseam can happen later.

What we will find out, as facts come trickling out, is this kid has had a long and troubled past.

Or should have been on medication. Will we every see an honest accounting of the aggregated data on these shooters?

It depends on how good it is for the anti-gun side.

The question is WHY? Why did he decide to go shoot his fellow students. Was he bullied? Lost girlfriend? Something had to give him a reason. But you can’t rule out these dam tv news reports. They glorify the news of carnage! Let’s hope they can dissect all of these shootings and find the common denominator to put a stop to this crap.

All I can say is don't trust anything you hear for the first 48 hours.

On the ABC Nightly News (National) they indicated he used a Shotgun and a .38 Revolver. There was no mention of anything Semi-Auto, but it's still early in the investigation. I believe we all know, how the details change as time goes on.

Its sickening that our political class will not secure our schools. They want to push gun control as their only answer.
They can't stop the opioid epidemic , the same cartels who ship millions of tons of illegal drugs into the country . Will be more than happy to do the same with guns and ammo.
Its apparent that we have a social and mental health problem. Those take time to solve . But in the short term we can improve school security .
Most schools have a few weeks left , before summer break. The government should use that time to add security doors and metal detectors to schools
and come up with security plans. We have billions of dollars to spend in the middle east on hearts and minds B.S. , But all the politico's ask who is going to pay for school security ? If we add it to every school. No security for the schools , but plenty for government employees !
Looks like this kid had a sawed off shotgun and pipe bombs and maybe a pressure cooker bomb . All illegal already!
I'm tired of feeling sick every time some innocent people are killed in these attacks!

How about schools stop buying press boxes and basketball courts and take the initiative to protect themselves?

Ok, where to start with this post? So very much to cover.

Get your emotions in check. It is not helping.

My high school had one at their football field. They just replaced it and a friend of mine got the old one and turned it into a chicken coop.

Has anyone heard of any underage kid that has done this crap, locking up the parent for not securing the weapons used? That’s if they used there parents firearms. Seems the ones responsible for letting slip through cracks like in Florida, no one being charged. Only thing the governments seem to want to do is gun control instead of locking up the ones responsible, whether they knew the kid was going to do it or didn’t secure the firearm.

For every school shooter there are many more cases of kids using guns the right way.
