I wish the life of that particular Federal judge could have been saved but at least one person who was shot survived: Gabby. And boy, has there ever been a more conspicuous display of gracelessness that in the publicized events that have since starred her (and/or her husband who was an astronaut).

I said I live near Taft high school in LA, I never said my daughter went there. But go ahead and ignore the point that my nine year old daughter now has to walk half a block to get to or from her school and how stupid that is.

I coulda swore I heard some liberal the past few days claim gun control works because we hadn’t heard of any school shootings in California. Had no time to look it up but I guess they’ll need to find a new talking point (although it doesn’t matter since truth rarely factors into Democrat talking points)...

That seems incredibly bad shooting for a shotgun—which is good news in this case.

It’s naming his weapon as a shotgun.

He didn’t even use 30 rounds, though. A service revolver can wound two people just as well.

Don’t discount us here in California.
Everyone I know loves and collects guns. My friends have walk-in-gun-safes. I would walk into an office and everyone would look startled until they recognized it was me, then they would all pull out their guns again and bragging resumed. It doesn’t end there, we are into throwing knives and arrows. But now they are getting into drones. From what I’ve read here on FreeRepublic, their knowledge of guns can put you all to shame. I’m not one of them, but one of my kids was Force Recon, the other I wouldn’t want to mess with, he cheats.

*Snip*
The teacher and a campus supervisor talked a gunman into putting down his weapon after he had shot and injured one pupil at Taft Union High School.

... Can't wait to see how the left spins that one...

I know I'll catch grief for saying this; but my first thought was: “This corrupt and evil Administration had something to do with this.” Hey, look what they did in Fast and Furious! Can you blame me for thinking this?

I thought the same think about Sandy Hook. The Colorado shootings didn't net them enough support for gun control, so they instigated a new crisis with school children.

This school DOES have an armed guard normally... but he wasn’t at work today due to being snowed in at home.

“Officials said there’s usually an armed officer on campus but the person wasn’t there because he was snowed in”

That little tidbit of information, as critical as it is to the debate, won’t be talked about much by the MSM.

Is it time to start discussing why males seem to be losing it en masse and destroying other lives and their own, and what we can do about it?

Or would we rather let the left take the lead and implement their solutions.

OT, does anyone know whether there was a FR thread on the 14-year-old North Carolina boy who shot and killed an intruder last week? I doubt the MSM reported THAT story.

Dude you gotta up grade. I have 2 50 rnd clips and a 100 rnd. Takes a min to shot it and half a day to reload the magazine.
