very true it is sleazy. but politicians being who they are, will attempt to push through as many laws as they can to push their agenda, no matter how bad the tragedy is.
I don't see any politicians in here. I expect politicians to be opportunistic and sleazy, I expect a little more from the rest of us.
This must be a mistaken report. There is a law that makes bringing a gun to this school illegal. And I'm sure that anybody considering committing mass murder, wouldn't dare break such a law. So nobody could have done it.
These laws work. Why else would the government keep making more and more of them?
I'll give you this much: at least you waited for the blood to dry before snarkily politicizing a tragedy.
Sad...I don't get the gun crazy people. Why should students be allowed to bring guns to school? . People break rules and laws all the time, does that mean we should get rid of them all? Murder is against the law, yet people are murdered every day. Sexual assault is against the law, yet people are sexually assaulted daily. Public nudity is against the law (although it hurts no one). Robbery is against the law...I could go on. Funny, the same people who think that students should be able to bring guns to school think two gay people shouldn't be able to get married among other things...smh
actually, a good thing to do would be to let the teachers and staff plus parents that are alw abiding to carry concealed when they do go to school or are teaching in the school.
after all, in order to protect the children from all the criminals that do not follow the law, we do need teachers that will use a firerm when it is necessary.
it is for the children.
Armchair quarterbacking is always wonderful.
Putting more guns in a situation only works when you are 100% certain who the good guy and the bad guy is. Having a room full of people with some or many armed doesn't work - as nobody knows who is who, just someone has a gun, you and others.
Staff, Teachers and parents go off the deep end too. (And I am sure many teachers are glad that most parents are not armed)
From reading the writings of some on this board, the only answer in the above situation (room with many people who are armed) would be "shoot the minority".

I will guess by your post you did not read the part about law abiding?

In a room full of people - some armed, in a split second, how do you know which is the law abiding one? All you see are others with guns. Was it a teacher with their gun in self defense or a parent with other issues shooting?
Again, nothing like armchair quarterbacks.
