This is indeed a sad event. More information on who,what, and why will be coming later.

This is not the time to politicize the event, but since you started. Maybe if students were allowed to carry-shooter might have been neutralized.

Just think of the carnage that a stapler could cause.

Or how about you just wish condolences, thoughts and prayers to those involved? We could start there instead of all you assonauts trying to score political points to prove "your" side of whatever inane argument is "right".

Sometimes the vapid inanity and disgustingness of this place shocks even me.

Mostly cowards posting in this thread.

Signed,

Come on, what an asinine comment. Next, are you going to pick on the AAA because of car deaths? (so far over 800 dead in Ohio this year to date)

No … They clearly wrote the Second Amendment to maintain a "well-reguilated militia," not to provide an endless unregulated supply of guns and ammo to deranged gun nuts ...

Mourning the victims, and caring for those who survived, should be the first priority. And using the victims as political fodder is not doing either of those two things.
