I remember when went to high school, the only thing I dreaded was what kind of classes i was going to have to take, I never thought that I might get shot. What went wrong? how did American get so far off track?

This honestly...just made me so....sick to my stomach.

15 years old.

At that age, I worried about if I will get home on time to watch Pokemon.

The youth today are so exposed to and part of adult life that there really isn't much "kid stuff" left for them.

The answer to this, of course, is for all of the teens to carry guns. It's a shame that other teens weren't packing heat so that they could have returned fire on this thug. If all teens just carried guns all the time at school, then everything would be fine and stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Nice try but total fail. 15 year olds cannot legally have guns.

Is there anything in the Constitution that says that? I think not. I bet the Founding Fathers knew how to handle their guns when they were 15.

As we've learned in the last several big shootings that have occurred like every other day, the answer to gun violence is always: more guns!
