And I thought the 30 took a long time to load.

Maybe I’ll upgrade after the frenzy dies down, magazines are out of stock every where now. Can’t see paying $100 for an AR15 mag. Glad I stocked up on everything when they were abundant and inexpensive.

The Taft HS in question is west of Bakersfield, CA.

An oil town.

Over 100 miles north of LA.

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

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

How much snow was there in the area overnight?

Did this 16 year old kid check the forecast and pick a day when the guard would have a greater chance of not being able to come in?

Did he know what town or area the guard lived in, in order to monitor the forecast for that area?

Answers to these questions will show the level of premeditation.....

we should not be talking about getting guns out of American homes, we should be talking about getting fathers back into them

Another Blue State with restrictive gun laws already on the books, imagine that.

VERY shrewd analysis of the tainted language which the Left and the Media have drug into this non-debate “Debate”.
Continually calling them “shooters” brings them just a few steps away from recreational hunters, or shooting range patrons, who are the real “shooters”. By reserving the same word for both, they meld them permanently together in the public mind, and create an alliance and an identification of one with the other.

Okay, I'm ready to call for it... EVERYONE should carry whether you have a CCW or not, whether it's legal or not. It is your constitutional right and it WOULD reduce the number of innocent deaths that we see when these mad dogs open fire in our schools and places of business. And it would rob the left of these grisly sideshows which they absolutely delight in taking advantage of.

Carry. But be sure to bury lots of your guns. If you're caught, what is it a misdemeanor? Plus they'll probably confiscate any other guns they can find in your house, car, etc.; thus, you must bury. When they release you, go to one of your caches, get another gun and resume continuous carry. If 100 million of us do this, they'll be helpless to stop it.

I'm sorry. But I'm pi**ed. This has got to stop: by which I mean the ever increasing cowardly massacres of innocents, followed by the predictable cowardly attack on our liberties by the hateful left. Carry. Period.

“I’m waiting for some nut to use a scoped bolt-action.”

While I believe the DC Sniper used an AR-15, it was set up sniper -style and he did single shots.

Of course, that pair were black muslims who shot white folk, so they are forgoten by the media.

>>There have been Gov’t experiments at mind control.

Hollywood, the advertising industry, the liberal media, and the video game industry have been performing mind control for years.

Also, consider that the CT killer destroyed his hard drive before heading to the elementary school. What do you suppose was on his hard drive that he didn’t want anyone to see? Who do you suppose he might have been emailing or IMing with?

I think we all have that thought somewhere crossing our minds.

Yeah, another small town shooting...Taft is about 130 miles from LA, and is a really small town...

In this incident one kid who claimed he was bullied, wounded another kid...

And this is been in FR national breaking news for nearly 2 days?

Amazing...

Hm?....Again. The usual government school defenders are missing from this thread.

Another Reason to Homeschool #1,573:

Homeschooling families have far more control over which “gun free” zones they will be visiting and how much time will be spent there. By the way, our homeschool wasn't a gun free zone.

I’m reading Matthew Bracken’s “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” so if I don’t watch myself I’ll be tempted to wonder that too. I firmly believe that while us gun nuts shiver when we hear of another school shooting liberals are overjoyed.
