Anti-gunners want to amp up the hysteria.

With information as of this moment, it sounds like this ended as it was supposed to, with the school security guard killing the shooter. Is it true CNN is barely covering this story now since it doesn't fit their anti-Trump agenda? Trump srongly suported armed guards in schools.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Oh, but it's not the gun, it's the shooter, right?
It's the parents' fault.

Yes, the shooter is now confirmed dead. The two victims are still critical. Sad.

Does anyone else find it VERY ironic that there is an ad for Southern Maryland Gold and Guns Pawn shop right next to the above article?

(Or at least there was. I just went to check to make sure that I got the name of the shop correct, and it was no longer there.)

An adult can be just as emotional as a young child. But we simply call those adults "disturbed" so as to safeguard the usage of guns for everyone else /rolleyes
Again, siblings have engaged in fights since the beginning of time. For much of the last several centuries, kids who fought with their siblings had access to guns, but almost never shot their siblings when they fought. What is different now? It can't be guns since guns have been around for about 600 years or so.


If the kid left the gun in the drawer, the sister would not have been shot. How is it not the kid's fault for shooting his sister? Why would you give the kid a pass and blame the gun instead?

This SRO is a life saving hero. He should give some training lessons to the Broward Cowards on what a cop is actually supposed to do in an active shooter situation.
