    Did I miss something?

    I think they are still not telling us everything.

    There were reports he shot at people outside the school, and it was 10-15 minutes before he went in.

    Who was he shooting at and why? We need more answers but it seems like they are not being totally honest until they can't deny things any longer.

    The 911 calls by kids are damning.

    A military style weapon.

    Gotcha. It's all about what looks scary! ANY weapon can be classified as a "military" style weapon. General George S. Patton's handguns most associated with him, and which are now in the Patton Collection of the West Point Museum, are a .45 Long Colt Single Action revolver, 1873 Army Model, and a .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver.

    Personally as a licensed concealed carry permit holder my weapon of choice is a .45 Remington R1 semi-auto which holds 7 rounds in the magazine, and one in the pipe. And in nearly fifty years of being a permitted concealed carry handgun owner I have never shot anyone, only drawn my weapon twice, and both times it stopped a crime in progress merely by being seen by the criminal until police arrived. And none of my firearms have ever managed to load themselves, leave my house, and commit any crime. I guess they are not as "smart" as those scary guns the left screams, whines, and cries about!.

    The senior officer on the scene decided to wait until the school janitor arrived with the keys because they thought that either "no kids were at risk" by then, or "no-one was living anymore".

    So the plan was to just wait till they were all dead? What kind of plan was that!

    I think he should be prosecuted. That is negligent manslaughter.

    Fire everyone else who stood around. Useless cunts.

    People say that the problem is guns.

    I've never heard of anyone shooting up an animal shelter.

    It's not the guns, it's the targets.

    There is still a lot of conflicting information coming out of this, the official police story and timeline seems to be completely made up.

    The MSM seems to have given up on promoting the story though after it became clear the perp was trans-adjacent (black eyeliner, cutting, bullied for posting feminine instagrams), cops did nothing, a border patrol agent, not police, killed the perp and that parents were being held back by police.

    This seems a lot like Parkland, mysterious instructions to police, doors to the school left unlocked, armed guard missing from their post, police refusing to get in, an 18 year old living on a single parent income making minimum wage with a history of mental illness and repeated contact with authorities, drug and school problems getting their hands on $5000 rifles, an illegal hand gun, and a $45,000 truck, thousands more in optics, gear and bullets. The next 12 hours you have washed up politicians like Beto that have staged an entire scene with multiple people to make a public statement all in time for the midterms.

    Like Parkland and Sandy Hook, a lot of these things don’t add up. I’m sure all these parents will come out of the woodwork to prescribe all forms of left wing ideals to solve the situation from gun control to universal healthcare and gender surgery. But solving the problem like adding security to schools and making school and police administrators (politicians) responsible for failing to act, oh no, kids may hurt their feelings seeing a gun or a locked door, plus then we’d have less problems we can use to prescribe our political priors.

    There's no statement to be made about one's miserable life...

    or political power to grab

    by attacking the animal shelter.

    This is a misfit lashing out at the society that let him be so...

    At least we know Shadowclone is still an idiot. We can find some comfort in that during these uncertain times.

    I can't believe you actually went there! But you did.

    A knife is created for what purpose? To maim and kill? Of course, it is only made to maim and kill. - Oh but how do we go about making sure our food is cut into bitesize chunks? Do we shoot the food?

    Let's start again.

    Guns - made only to kill.
    Knives - made to kill and to prepare food. The latter is dependant on the user on how it is used. The former? It's a tool only made to kill!

    Since the Dunblane Massacre and gun reform in the UK, gun crime has dropped significantly. Yes, people can still get them illegally - however, you can't just walk down the street and pick up a gun from a local store. You need to go through a lot to get licensed and only use them legally at certain places, such as hunting ranges.

    Even BB guns with the little yellow pellets are now banned and all that did was mark my friend for a few days when they were fooling around with one and he proclaimed "Ow ma tit" after saying "Shoot me. Bet it disny hurt"

    Look, if something is made to harm another then it is made to harm another. And spare me the bomb attacks from a mob of degenerate people with an ideology slightly worse than JW's. You know, and I know that if JW's were told to kill all worldly people tomorrow, they would do it without question. Deluded people, kill innocent people and some use a tool that was made to kill. Others use a tool that was made to prepare food.

    I don't carry a knife on me to feel safe in Scotland. I am safe. Have a look at Iceland's stats on murder.

    Here are their gun laws, similar to the UK's laws actually on gun control. Maybe the fact you don't have free healthcare in the USA, therefore you have badly managed mental health, is a factor? And when I say free I do mean paid for in taxes by the citizens like we do here in the UK, and in Norway and in Iceland. Look outside your land, across the pond and find alternatives to what you have now. FYI Norway and Iceland are all lefties!

    all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and most handguns are banned for public use in Iceland.

    People who hold a gun license can buy semi-automatic shotguns, bolt-action rifles, single-shot rifles and double-barrel rifles to hunt with but all rifles over 8 millimetres in caliber are banned in Iceland, although with a special permit to hunt large animals abroad, such as elephants or African cape buffalos.

    It is also possible to obtain a special collector’s license for handguns and sports associations practicing marksmanship can apply for a license to use small indoor 22 caliber handguns as used in the Olympics.

    To obtain a gun license people must attend a course and pass a test at the police station. They also have to pass a medical examination where they are specifically asked about their mental health. The gun license is issued by the respective District Commissioner.

    UK has a scary number of Stabbing.

    Guns - made only to kill.

    You seem to be implying that they're made only to kill people, which they are not.

    Ignoring the purely target shooting aspect, both knives and guns are tools. Dangerous tools that should be treated with respect. Same with vehicles, which kill about the same number of people each year as guns. Are cars made to kill at all? No, and yet they do. Why? Misuse.

    The focus on guns is pointless when they problem obviously isn't the guns themselves. It's who has access to them, what is done about people who have behavioural problems, and what causes those behavioural problems.

    Now, as I've said several times - nothing is going to remove guns from society. So magic-wand solutions are meaningless posturing and nothing more.

    We'd be better focusing on practical solutions that can actually be enacted.

    Looking at the over-prescribing of drugs to children and attaching some liability for that might have a bigger impact than banning guns.

    Having offenders actually handled rather than getting off and escalating their behaviour would be sensible, surely?

    What about the government intervention that encourages fatherless children, a major factor in most mass-shooters lives?

    Most of these shootings turn out to be foreseeable and preventable, but nothing could be done for whatever reason. Let's look at those reasons and remove the blockers.

    In this case, we need to look closely at the police and why they didn't shoot. Is this a consequence of the criminalization of policing?
