Another senseless act with a gun. Just awful.
Nothing will change, they don't care. Guns are more important than anything else out there. Nutjobs.
We had one school shooting 26 years ago in Dunblane and changed everything about gun ownership laws. America has had 27 school shootings this year alone, they’ll never change

Listen to this bitch.This is why gun laws are bonkers in the USA.

Might be a stupid question, but why is it so often schools?
A large number of potential victims in one place?
Somewhere the gun murderer had a difficult time?
An educational establishment where a live (or not) demonstration of the 2nd Amendment will be most appreciated?
A place where a deranged coward with a semi-automatic arsenal will feel safe whilst committing mass murder?
Who knows.
A lot of good points, I was blinded by how cowardly It was (would be anywhere I guess)
Just bothers me that the victims are always kids.
There are plenty of populated places to pick and it's always a school, but yes points made taken on board!!
I'm sure the particular circumstances of this latest horror will come out in the next few days. But in general, kids going through school sometimes suffer isolation, bullying, trauma and resentment that the idealised life they see on the tv is different to theirs. They may project their disappointment onto their teachers.
Not many places though where those detached from society have easy enough access to the firepower to kill over a dozen people. mainly children, before being put out of their selfish misery.
Another good point.
It's not always a school, there's been plenty of high profile shootings in other places. But the ones in the schools are certainly the most difficult to get your head round. It's beyond comprehension and the US will still do nothing about it
My mum works in a supermarket over there. Just last week her boss told her to hide in the toilet because a (now-ex) disgruntled employee was bragging about how easy it would be to get one of his guns from his car right outside. I asked her to quit because that guy is 100% coming back to shoot that place up and the article will read, "he was fired from his job months ago" etc.
Didn't change after Sandy Hook and won't change now. Backward-ass country.
Yes it's awful and won't change. I did originally post "why so often" but not the thread I suppose, as it isn't important
Oh come on. Many of us do care and deeply too.
The main problem is it's so hard to cut through the rhetoric of the right on gun control because it's well-funded and (unfortunately) cleverly managed.
How could anyone stand next to a group of little children and think, "I want to fire bullets into them." ?
The fit seems to be someone who was bullied/misunderstood/didn't fit in/was a weirdo that was never gonna fit in and use it as an excuse to have a pop back at society.
We have these people in the UK and worldwide but it seems the US is always the place it happens.
Same as those weird types that can't get a woman so join these online pages and post hate against women because they can't find someone, seems the way is to blame everyone else but themselves for their situation and fire back at innocents.
Apologies if this post offends someone probably not the thread to go off on one, but when do these people stop having excuses handed to them and just talk to someone or ****ing grow up?
People face shit every day, my cousins kid is bullied daily to an absurd level, people are lonely all over the world and don't act out like ****ing coward animals. Where does shooting up a school get them the other 100s that tried it before get them?
I've probably gone right off track now, sorry. Restless and pissed off.
No offence intended
Abbot fought hard to reduce the age of gun ownership to 18. The killer was 18.
People must be at least 21 years of age to legally consume alcoholic beverages in Texas.
Senseless.
Politicians, especially republicans but also some democrats, would rather people die than to control gun ownership.
She really is the biggest piece of shit.
While I agree about the rhetoric on the right and that many of you do care I just don't understand how after Sandy Hook nothingn was done. The fact is not enough care to do something about it.
I listen to Joe Rogan every podcast and whilst he doesn’t speak for America he does echo a big base of americas voices
And what it tells me is that guns are such a big part of the mentality of the US I can’t see anything changing anytime soon. The videos above about MORE arms seems commonplace.
I think he means people in power - especially the NRA.
I'm no expert on American history, but surely the "right to bear arms" was drawn up in the 18th century?
When the land was a hostile wilderness?
Now its just hostile.
Allow people to bear arms - as long as those arms are single-shot, muzzle-loading muskets.
This is how utterly stupid Republicans are and those who vote for them:
Ted Cruz (on addressing mass shooting) "go after felons and fugitives and those with serious mental illness, arresting them, prosecuting them when they try to buy firearms illegally"
There is a to unpack there BUT:
Mass shooters are not previous felons
Mass shooters are never fugitives
You cannot arrest someone for having a mental health illness (and WTF "go after" people with mental health issues... what is he calling for? a genocide of bipolar people or depressed people because of course ALL of them will become mass killers.. but voted against background check!)
Mass shooters do not purchase guns illegally - because of NRA and republican law makers they have made it easier for people to buy weapons, including military grade weapons, and reducing the procurement age to 18
Cruz voted against background checks and voted for allowing access to firearms by 18 year olds.
He takes the US public for fools and sadly many are fools for believing this bullshit.
