Another school shooting. TX

[photogpat]

From what I've read it sounds like possible gang or "turf" violence

If it's "gang on gang" and no one innocent gets hurt then let them fight it out.

Actually -- a school employee was shot in the crossfire/background...we need the focus to remain on criminal control. I'll be curious to see if one or both of these actors was eligible to carry a firearm.

I would love to hear more about your plan to let gangs shoot it out with no collateral damage.

My brother lives just north of Huston, he said all the news stations out side of TX have blown it way out of proportion. Basically it was a gang fight that happened at a college. Guy pulled gun, started shooting, shot other guy and bystander and then shot himself in the butt trying to put the gun back in his pocket.

In this case, "know your target and what's beyond" was apparently not followed.

That's certainly newsworthy.


But isn't it funny how we expect gang on gang violence to NOT be news anymore.

Pinky, I never said I had a plan but I am working on one.

One of the "victims" had a heart attack. We really need to ban those - they kill way more people than guns.

Please stop using analogies that compare deaths to the individual with deaths caused to other people. If we're going to strip out suicide deaths from the handgun homicide rate, then we can't use stupid arguments like banning heart attacks, cars or spoons.

Valid analogies are things like alcohol (drunk driving homicides) or second hand smoke (both which kill FAR more people than guns, on a per capita and absolute number). The only thing the bad analogies do is make the community look dumb.

Because your arguments around here are so sound...

It's called sarcasm.

There's no way to prove correlation to the heart failure and the incident. It could be coincidental, as much as it was an internalization of stress; which is precisely why you cannot associate it in this event. The only thing they were a victim of was heart failure.
