At least 8 people will not be going home to their families simply for attending school.

This crossed my mind this morning, as I was dropping off my kids, you never know if it will be the last time you see them. I can't even begin to imagine the pain these families must shoulder for the rest of their lives.

The "well regulated militia" needs to be f'n regulated.

You can thank Joe Biden for inventing your bullshit no gun zones that allow this to happen again and again and again!

Strict federal restrictions on auto-loading center fire rifles with high capacity or detachable magazines is what I've been calling for, along with universal background checks.

Cool. Would have done nothing to stop this shooting. Shooter took guns from his dad, who had purchased them legally. The guns were a .38 and a shotgun. Shooter said he wanted to commit suicide as well but lost courage in the end.

By all means though, let's keep blaming the tool instead of the person using it and the reasons that drove them to it. Let's keep up the mantra that mental health has nothing to do with it.

There was someone there with a gun. This is all on the NRA and its Pro-Slaughter agenda.

Fuck off...

Prevent? No. Mitigate? Let's see here. Shotgun and handgun stolen from Dad- 8 dead in Texas. AR-15 purchased legally over the counter- 17 dead at Parkland.

Looks like in this case daddy didn't have an AR at home. Maybe 9 kids got to go home today because of that.

But by all means let's keep pretending that the efficiency of the tool has nothing to do with the amount of murderous work done.

What if the kid had a muzzle loader like the authors of the 2nd Amendment?

Let's stand around again and say "there's nothing that can be done" here in the ONLY COUNTRY THIS HAPPENS.

You confuse wanting to solve the actual problem with wanting to do nothing. Typical.

Yeah your point that less kids died as compared to an AR style rifle is correct. So.... kids still died and will continue to die until something with meaningful impact actually happens. Disarming the country in entirety will never happen, so maybe going after the actual cause for a change might be helpful.

one interesting (pro gun)devils advocate thought I had was regarding a classic "mexican standoff".

If everyone had guns at least there would be a chance for a mexican standoff vs a slaughter.....

I agree with RT though, if he had a semi auto high cap rifle there may have been zero survivors..

And your comment about muzzle loaders is stupid. The tools would switch to homemade bombs, cars during bus loading, poison, etc. ban those too and the mentally ill with murderous intent will come up with something else. But by all means though, keep patting yourself on the back because 8 kids got killed instead of 16. Me... I prefer zero kids get killed.

If everyone had guns many innocents would die in the crossfire, and you may very well have good samaritans shooting each other because in the heat of the moment they can't figure out who the bad guy is.

Ban high cap mags and restrict the hell of the rifles I mentioned, combine with SROs in every school, and we can reduce mortality in these attacks.

Agree, I think also camera and audio equipment should be updated and would do a lot of good in terms of locating, and subduing the shooter and also allowing advice to be given to get the innocents to safety.

Locking doors could be used effectively with good surveillance, it will take a lot of $$ but I think well worth it.
