Another very tragic shooting incident where innocent teenagers lives are snuffed out and their families lives destroyed. There are no easy solutions. Yes, I agree that every high school in America should have at least one armed policeman or guard there at the ready for these types of situations. I agree in responsible gun protection and responsible gun ownership.
But until the United States congress passes responsible gun legislation and congressmen stop accepting blood money from organizations like the NRA to help finance their re-elections to congress ; accepting the money will take priority over teenagers or young kids getting murdered in schools. Quite possibly until this country has a majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives & Congress - responsible gun legislation will not be passed. That's just reality.
True, there are some Democratic senators that accept money from the NRA as well, however not near as many as the Republican party. So- stricter gun legislation laws have to be passed so that mentally deranged killers , minors, adults, whomever have stricter background checks and perhaps penalties handed down to gun shop owners who still will sell to any Tom, Dick, or Harry that have criminal records OR mental health records indicating instability.
And it would be nice to see the military and the federal government cooperate in releasing records of criminal or unstable shooters background as well. The FBI dropped the ball on the Florida shooter ; and the U.S. military dropped the ball on the creep that shot up the church in Texas last year as well. The military failed to release his criminal records to Texas local police, so they didn't know he was even on the radar. There has to be better communication between police authorities, schools, mental health organizations - everybody - before these types of gross killings get corrected, or at least minimized. There is PLENTY of blame to go around where many different entities have dropped the ball and been irresponsible. Including parents in their own homes who protect such mentally deranged brats from ever receiving needed mental help. Parents should be held accountable as well if they fail to give their minor children that needed help.
O.K. That about covers it. Bring your slings & arrows, I can handle it. Did I miss anything ? Let me know, I have an open mind. I agree- it's not the guns fault, it's just all the idiots that aren't responsible in dealing with all the cracks in the cement in our society that allow these killings to escalate. Peace out, and empathy to all of the families that have lost their children and to the children who will never see a future ever. Sincerely, Mr. Flipper
