MARTA police arrest man in shooting at College Park rail station | www.ajc.com

Fortunately no bystanders harmed and the police have caught the guy. Seems to have been an argument that escalated to gunfire.

Station was shut down for a while.

Problem with lax gun laws. Once again we see our poor education system at work and the results when young people do not receive a quality education.

You misspelled parenting.

Quit making up things trting to support your outdated and dying ideology. There is nothing to support that wild and baseless assertion.

Sorry, I don't think he missed anything. Lax gun laws have contributed to an enormous surge in gun related morbidity and mortality around the country, since legislators at both the state and federal levels are run by money funneling in from the NRA. Gun deaths actually surpass automobile deaths now in over 30 states - that's HUGE. Gun related morbidity and mortality can't solely be attributed to "parenting" as you say, but rather is highly predicted by education, socio-economic status, and even political views (we won't get into that one here, but it is pretty obvious why conservatives have more accidental gun deaths/injuries). Rather than automatically jumping to blaming the individual, think about the system that the individual was brought up in, and think about it from also a systematic standpoint. Rational vs critical thinking - we need way more people thinking through the issues critically. See the ajc article below regarding gun morbidity and mortality:
