There were almost no school (or other things like movie theaters, etc) shootings before Columbine. Now we're at the point where we had two of these events occur on the same day last month.
You should go tell the parents of these children, "hey, it's just a drop in the bucket."
And the same firearms have been available to the public, with less restrictions for the last 50 years. What has changed ?
Fear mongering or an accurate representation of what happened?
I don't know, you don't know. Let's ask the kids who were there what they think.
It's pretty easy to see what they think. Check out what some of these people say to the Parkland kids on Twitter. It's despicable how people that were almost gunned down in school are treated.
Keep in mind, most of these guys committing these crimes seem to accept the fact that they'll be killed at the scene of their crime, so "arming everyone" isn't much of a deterrent.

Solutions have been presented over and over again on many firearms topic threads here. Do some research, and read them yourself.
Throughout this thread you've been asked many questions and have been presented with facts yet you ignore them all.
You may not value human life but some of us do. It is quite disturbing that you are OK with thousands of children dying from gun violence annually. WOW!!!
Where did kimchee go ? That poster claimed to have a solution the would entirely prevent ...well, not sure what they intended on preventing. Please post up that sure thing...we all would be interested.
Am I not correct? Do thousands of children not get massacred from gun violence in the US annually? Are you reading these responses that are saying it is no big deal? Come on, how am I being theatrical. Am I to assume that caring about human life, especially children, is theatrical. Again, WOW...
Fake news. There are NOT thousands of kids killed in the US yearly by guns. Quit spreading lies.
Fear mongering?
No...this is the sad reality in America today where you send your kids off to school and hope they don't return in a body bag because the gun nuts think their 2A rights supercedes the rights of life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.
There is help for the confused. It may take intervention by your family.
Im surprised no one else brought up the fact about guns deaths among children COMING AFTER automobile related deaths...Seems to me, the priority should be automobiles, not guns!, where is the outrage and anger at automobiles?
We've worked to curb the worst excesses - licensing, registration, taxation, mandatory insurance, illegal if you're under the influence and removal of automobile privileges in public if you operate in an unsafe manner.
Sounds good, let's do the same for guns.
Are you sure this was an analogy you wanted to bring up?

There are thousands of firearms laws on the books. There are many restrictions for certain types of firearms. All this for a right provided to us by the Constitution. Are there that many laws and restrictions for the 1A ?
