Now we have some coverage, thank you.

People need to stop assuming. The first story did NOT have a confirmed gunshot.

All I have to say that if I had a gun the day a Vice Principal observed me and downgraded the observation because I didn't have enough Kleenex stations in the room I would have shot the dumbass.

No class > class
Maybe some of them actually wanted to learn something today- and they did, just not what they expected.

Oddly enough, many towns in the "old West" did not allow guns within the city limits. Indeed, the "Gunfight at OK Corral" was due to, in part, Clanton and the McLaury brothers not checking in their guns to the town marshal, Virgil Earp, upon their arrival in Tombstone (there was, however, already bad blood between the parties).

I would say that obsession with reality TV is unhealthy.

Obsession with guns is both unhealthy and a sickness in terms of society, as is blatantly obvious to anyone with any common sense at this point in history..in other words not gun nuts but everyone else. The kind of person who thinks putting more guns in the school wouldn't lead to more incidents as a whole that negate any mass shootings that might be stopped..a simple logical step a 12 year old of average intelligence should be able to take, gun nuts can't take that step, they are so crypto religiously obsessed with guns.

A person obsessed with fire is a pyromaniac and most people would say that is an unhealthy urge and dangerous to society......a person obsessed with guns to the point that so many people on this forum seem to be are also dangerous to society, but somehow in 21st century USA it considered normal by some segments, and to some people even patriotic and proper. That's why the rest of the civilized world thinks our country is whacked out on this matter.

And I'd say its unhealthy for someone to be so obsessed with their own political narrative that they call other people "nuts" or "lacking common sense" when there are perfectly good examples out there of situations that you decry as dangerous and a cause for more incidents, yet they have not caused more incidents.

But here we are, facts be damned if you disagree with dman and his political opinions.
