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

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.

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

Re: Teacher and 14 children killed Texas

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
