Yet another school shooting

Another school shooting, this time in South Carolina. A teenager walked into an elementary school and opened fire. Only three injured in this one, but that's three to many.

If a kid gets ahold of a gun or guns owned by a parent, the parent/parents should go to jail. You send the parents to jail other parents who own guns will be more keen to keep their guns locked away to the extent their kids cannot get them.

Fine by me.

I'd be ok with gun owners being completely responsible for their guns. If they're used in crimes, the owners are responsible.

In before El presidente beats off to this:

Aspie!


On a serious note, it would be nice if we actually did something as a country instead of just talking about it and a week later forgetting about it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The shooter shot and killed his father.

Apparently the teenager was "homeschooled"

Dang, you agree with MarAzul! I posted this a couple years ago. Slightly different though, I want to see the father held responsible, where ever he is. Looks like the kid took care of that for us though.

Every elementary school classroom should have 2-3 kids that have guns with them. Kind of like school crossing guards but with weapons. Then if an older kid or adult comes into the school with a gun the school gun guard can mobilize and eliminate the threat. This would be cheaper than hiring security guards because the kids could be paid with juice boxes and Pokemon balls.

They sell bulletproof backpacks now.

The only parent to face charges over their child bringing a gun to school was the father of the Fryberg boy - Marysville, Washington - and the only reason was he (the father) bought the gun illegally by bypassing a specific background check for tribal members. He is now serving a two-year sentence.

Outside Fryberg the other school shooters seem to overwhelmingly have some sort of autism spectrum.

This is why forum Meet and Greets always make me so nervous.

BTW, why aren't you going?

By pure chance I met Fryberg’s uncle about a year ago. Not sure if he is the brother of the father or mother? But we met in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of Idaho along a beautiful stream. He works for the Nez Perce tribe as a fish counter.

We had a nice long visit. This was the first time I ever met him and did not know who he was. He turned the discussion to his nephew’s shooting. He did not try to make excuses, and he felt very bad for the families that got hurt. And he really liked his nephew. But he did not understand why it happened beyond a girl was involved.

The reason I am posting this is. Not many people talk about the families of the shooters. The uncle was devastated by what his nephew had done. He was in a lot of pain, and just needed someone to talk to about it. It will be bad memory that will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Same reason as me, out of ammo.

This one could've been avoided; If you read his tweets (or court released texts) you would realize it was all over a girl. At 15, is was the end of the world. He needed a big brother/cousin to talk him off the edge. His tweets before it happened were crystal clear that he was teetering on the edge. They broke up and she was ignoring his texts - this sent him into severe depression and he had access to firearms. The reason why he killed his friends was he didn't want to die alone. His grandfather heads their tribal fish and environmental department, well known family within the fishing community in the PNW.

I would like to believe all of the shootings can be avoided.
We need to find ways of identifying people that are having mental health issues, and be prepared to give them the help they need.

Can't do that unless we know who owns the firearms, but aren't you against having to register that?

What crack pot website did you read that whopper on?

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/12/opinion/the-myth-of-the-autistic-shooter.html

I think most people who make this claim don't tend to be people who have worked with, or are related to, someone on the spectrum.

Yes, @MarAzul we actually agree on something. Go figure!

These kids are always using their daddies guns...picking the locks to the case they are in...or they know where to get the key/sneak the key while dad is sleeping...parents have got to be better than that

Just needed a bro to slap him and drive him to a titty bar. Kids are so coddled these days they cant handle a break up cause they arent getting their way. Gun owners should shoot their kids. Then their kids couldnt take their guns and their kids would know what it feels like to get shot.

Coddled from day 1. Unable to cope because they have never been put into situations where they have had to figure it out and deal with negatives. Safe spaces, participation trophies, PC bullshit, being offended. Raising a bunch of pussies pretty much that can't deal with everyday life.

I'm against the cops having a registry of the gun owners, which is not needed.

Similarly, I'm against the cops having a giant network of surveillance cameras they can look at 24/7, but not against them looking at video tape of a crime from the private sector's cameras.

The cops can trace the firearm to the seller. The cops do have to trace the gun, eventually, to the owner. That's detective work.

I'd have no problem with the cops looking at the store owners' records when there's a crime. The cops look at the serial number, contact the distributor, and trace it to the store. Then look at the store's records.

They already seem to know where the guns in these mass shootings came from. They report they were bought legally almost all of the time, and that the kinds of heinous gun laws proposed wouldn't have changed that.

Precisely why i aim to offend at any opportunity. People will never grow a spine without practice. I do my community a big service by being a complete dick.
