The same folks crying “THIS HAS TO STOP” and “SPARE ME YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS” voted for the IDIOTS WHO EASED UP ON LETTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OVER THE BORDER. FFS.
This was an American citizen who did the shooting.

What, FFS, does illegal immigration have to do with this? If you are drawing the conclustion that because the shooter has a Spanish surname, he has to be illegal, it should give you comfort that it is highly likely in this little town that most of the victims will as well.
Since he’s a high school student shooting up his local school is seems extremely unlikely his motive is political. Plus he shot his own grandma. Going for “glory” and fame probably.
Guns have nothing to do with it. If guns were not around he would have used another method. I think social media is more to blame. It’s destroying society. It allows people to live in echo chambers at a rate never before seen. Despite all the connectivity, people are more alone today than ever. Is advanced technology bad for the human spirit? I tend to think so.

Lmao, sorry dude, but mass shootings are as American as it gets.
The video showed several Border Patrol members present on campus. Presumably all forms of law enforcement were activated which is logical.
Yes, there are BP in alot of these south central Texas communities. We are not far from the border, so it's not unusual for BP to be present or involved. Doesn't mean the shooter wasn't a citizen or part of the community.
There is no gun law that would have prevented this needless tragedy. However, if the school doors had been locked, this most likely would not have occurred. I think all schools should have locked outside doors, even during the school day.
I think most schools do have doors that are locked. BUT reality -- kids play outside for recess so doors are held open to let kids in, etc.
If they had restricted gun ownership back in, say, 1972 when Nixon desired a total handgun ban, then yes, a lot of these shootings wouldn't have occurred since it would have been very hard for 18-year olds and 15-year-olds to get a gun by now.
That is unconstitutional and a moot point. What can we do today to prevent future school shootings? You cannot legally do anything about the tool they use, especially when the tool used is protected by the Second Amendment, so we have to think outside of the box. Why do schools not lock all outside doors? That would have prevented today's mass casualty. The shooter had to be mentally unstable. Was he not taking prescribed medication? Had he talked about coordinating mass shootings that went unreported? Obviously, there is more to the story than we know.
