Please stop confusing irrational Dems with facts. It just makes them whine even more.

[Fido969]

Having a cop in the school, who doesn’t run away, is effective.

[MercyFlush]

Someone ping me when the leftist elites give up their private security that’s all armed with full automatic weapons.

[newzjunkey]

Obviously the guns used in Texas were gifts so no amount of background check is going to weed that out. His social media history and knowledge of his recent behavior should have tipped off someone. It’s another case of what did they know and when did they know it? His “friends” will live with this the rest of their lives.

[Dr. Franklin]

Maybe we should return to having rifle ranges in the school basements and let the kids bring their rifles to school for target practice? Arming the teachers would also help discourage mass school shootings. The solutions are remembering our past, not more authoritarian restrictions or increased police presence in education.

[Nifty]

Lets face it. Dems don’t actually care about guns, its the noise and emotion they want to play on. These events, and the media’s willing cooperation, create an emotionally charged environment that plays with into the hands of “activists”.

[JimRed]

When criminals start obeying laws, gun laws will work.

Could stop a good deal of mass murders by stopping false flag operations by the CIA, FIB, ....

> “In New York,” former Gov. Andrew Cuomo bragged on Sunday, “we passed the best (gun control) laws in the nation.” <

“We were able to accomplish this even though I was spending most of my time harassing women instead of working,” Cuomo added.

Start putting the Insane in Asylums and treat them properly.

That will never happen however because it would deplete the Progressive Left.

[DannyTN]

Once again the shooting happened in a federal "gun free" zone. No protection for kids.

Would have been worse if it wasn't for the actions of a brave border patrol officer.

Things that might have made a difference...

• Drug addicted mother. We don't seem to have any effective ways to deal with stubborn addictions.
• Police knew the kids was often in conflict with the drug addicted mother. Perhaps this is a case where child protective services should have been involved. I know CPS can often overreach and are financially incented to do so, but sometimes they are necessary. Perhaps the kid should have been placed in foster homes, until the mother could present free of drugs. And then the mother should have been monitored on a regular basis.
• The kid carved up his own face. Somebody should have got the kid some mental help.
• The kid was "slowly dropping out" of school. Somebody should have got the kid some mental help.
• Coworkers at Wendy's said he had a violent streak and creeped them out. Somebody should have got the kid some mental help.

WHY school shootings?
What is more precious than our children?
Emotional pull.
Distraction event.
Gun grab event.
D security.
WHY would locals go along w/ such a sick organized event?
[THEY must control local police / school / county officials / etc to work].
WHY?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Federal aid + donations.
These people are SICK.

Follow the money.
It’s always about the money.

The wrong problem is being solved. That happens all the time, especially when it comes to safety and security. Too many people are afraid. Too many people seek solutions from government, not to solve real problems, but to solve the problem of being afraid. The solutions to stop people's fear don't work either. They don't stop the fear. They don't solve the root problem of what caused the fear.

Take COVID for example. Government in league with big pharma came up with an experimental gene therapy that doesn't stop the transmission of COVID. It doesn't stop people contracting COVID. Other solutions, such as masking, social distancing, shuttering businesses and locking people in their homes didn't stop COVID. The problem wasn't solved, but trillions of dollars were spent. Winners and losers were chosen. The economy went to crap. PEOPLE LOST THEIR FREEDOMS.

Government didn't solve any problem. Government only caused an entirely new set of very real problems.

Gun are not the problem in mass shootings or any murder for that matter. Thus, gun control is not the solution to the problem. Any gun control law causes PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR FREEDOMS. In the process of losing their freedoms, more people die of murder.

Democrats and RINOs are really good at trying to solve the problem of peoples' fear, but they fail every time. The reality is most politicians that favor gun control laws don't give a damn about the people. They concurrently, pass all sorts of laws that weaken law enforcement, eliminating bail, and reduce sentences for violent offenders. Additionally, they do nothing to stem the tide of illegal drugs flowing over our border and all the violence that accompanies that. The want to take away guns so people cannot protect themselves only to make some temporarily unafraid. They will be afraid yet again, and the wrong problems will be solved, yet again. PEOPLE WILL LOSE MORE FREEDOMS.

[Romulus]

School mass shootings are almost always at a public school. I think I found one at a private school. None at Catholic schools. This has to be a relevant datum. What’s the deal with public schools?

[bunkerhill7]

Schools had armed teachers already here 200 years ago- nuthin` new.SCHOOLS ARE GUN ZONES in 1800
“Children of the present day would be somewhat startled to go to school attended by large dogs, to keep off the bears and other wild animals, to study all day by the crackle of the great fire and back logs, to hear the howling of wolves at rollcall, and see the teacher take from its resting place over the door, a trusty rifle to guard the way home. Such were the first schools in 1800.”‘Periwinkle’, “The Sentinel”, Feb 21, 1874 [”Ticonderoga Sentinel”, Ticonderoga, NY]

[Paal Gulli]

"Commonly Touted Policies Are Ill-suited to Stopping Mass Shooters Murderers"

Fixed it for them.

Only Gun-Grabbers and hoplophobes refer to them as "shooters."

Prior to the 2017 Las Vegas massacre, the single largest mass murder event in US history had no firearms in it.

[AlaskaErik]

Until we get past the mentality that a sign is going to stop mass shootings, we will have mass shootings.

This is what should be seen at every school...

[combat_boots]

The district could have had people who carry but didn’t

[Mr.Unique]

According to a recent National Institute of Justice report on public mass shootings from 1966 through 2019, just 13% of the perpetrators obtained weapons through illegal transactions.

I've noticed that the media has moved from the Mass Shooting list from the Gun Violence Archive to a "public" mass shooting list. The GVA list is great when they want to tout "a death per day." That list Is full of illegal guns and minority shooters.

[aimhigh]

The Buffalo shooter passed a background check when he bought his rifle because he did not have a disqualifying criminal or psychiatric record,

Is this true? He was hospitalized in a mental institution. Did the shrinks not do their job? Does New York report mental cases to their background check agency? Some states don't.
