Okay, how about anyone wearing a trench coat will be pulled aside and told to remove it for a search.
and if you are just wearing it because you're fat then you are made a target of ridicule? There aren't easy answers, my thought it that parents need to be held criminally liable if their kids take a gun out of the house
Well, that went over your head....
No, of course not, I'm just pointing out that if we cannot enforce current regulations, and you want more, how are we going to enforce more when we cannot enforce current?
According to you we aren't enforcing current laws, which by the way you fail to prove..so if you want to go down that rabbit hole, then why not get rid of all laws?
The problem is this is unenforceable. And what if the kid was dead at the end of the day? You think the police will charge the parents in that situation? I think not. They don’t charge most people who leave their kids to die in hot cars out of sympathy. They will do the same for these parents.
No, the answer is metal detectors. Merely having armed guards still means at least one person gets shot. Metal detectors will prevent them from coming in the door. I’m sure some wily kid will find a way to work around that too, but if they stop happening for a while, maybe it will just end the madness.
This is media driven. And some hackers should bug the hell out of all the websites on this stuff. There are kids obsessing about this right now, thinking of ways to outdo the last one.
Unenforceable? If a kid gets in their parent's stash of drugs and dies of an overdose the parents are criminally charged, why not apply that same principle to parents who don't secure their guns?
Metal detectors are only useful if there is an armed guard positioned at every single one of them. There isn't enough money in most school budgets to pay teachers a decent wage but you want to divert what little there is to hiring armed guards and installing metal detectors, neither of which would work by the way unless you replaced all the windows in every school with bullet proof glass. And if two kids are working in concert then all that BS still won't protect kids, one goes in the school without any guns or ammos and the other kid throws the stuff over the fence to him. Sometimes you just have to stop and think about the idiocy of these 'remedies'.
Another school shooting this morning at a high school outside of Galveston
According to hearsay, at least one student was shot in the leg.
No information yet available if this was a dispute between 2 people or an intended mass shooting.
Suspect is in custody.
Murderous young males have always been here in America. The serial killer era from the 1960s to the 1990s where young males who had issues with women targeted hichhikers, prostitutes, and native college students have now morphed into mass shooters.
The same problem has always been here, and that is, why are males so violent towards women? Why are American males so violent?
What's wrong with teens today? Until 20 years ago this was pretty much inconceivable.
Is violence that accepted and life skills that lacking?
The kid was taunted and teased ruthlessly. There was a report that even the PE teacher gave him an insulting nickname like "smelly", or something like that. I'm sure that this harassment was done in front of others - bullies love to play to the crowd - the kid probably got tired of being outnumbered/outmatched and acted out.
I don't condone it, but to ignore the cause and write this off as some nutty kid who woke up one day and decided to shoot up a building on a random lark is absurd.
These incidents never surprise me.
I wonder if the kids who laughed at him while he was being teased still think it's funny...?
Puppy love? Seriously, this kid was a creep who couldn't take no for an answer. Lets not give it some cutesy name and act like this type of behavior should be considered acceptable.
I wonder if the kids who laughed at him while he was being teased still think it's funny...?
No, but they're probably talking about how they were right, that this kid was f'ed up.
Sorry, I don't feel sorry for this mass murderer going on a shooting spree is not going to earn him any respect or sympathy. Now instead of just a few kids in gym class knowing what a horrible human being he is, the whole world knows what a disgusting excuse for a human this kid is.

There are a lot of abusive men out there. I don't know why. Some kill, some rape, some beat. I really don't know. I was surprised to find out men I would not have suspected have physically abused women.

Just uttering what your buddy joe biden stated....
Lets go down that rabbit hole, however, your failure is already noted, by the stupid comment of "why have any laws"?

“And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.”
And no....we should enforce current laws...by your standards you want more laws, yet don't want to enforce current laws...
