Shots fired at High School in Parkland, Florida; 17 killed

Move? No joke. Otherwise we just live with it as we've been doing. I mean of course we'll all keep voting and convincing our friends and family to vote and sharing on social media how bad guns and mass shootings are.
But then you realize that there's this enormous population you'll just never ever reach. After that you realize that no matter who you vote for they'll all be pro 2nd amendment just in differing degrees.
School shootings ≠ mass shootings. There is way more mass shootings
Also the 18 number includes suicides and incidents without physical injuries.
Not that I disagree, but I see these numbers strewn around without people really understanding them, it's an easy setup for organizations like the NRA to blame the media/left for dramatizing the numbers.
Yeah, I corrected my post.
They'll call him a politically active young American whose ideas and beliefs we should take a moment to consider.
As every one of these shootings happens and we see the same tired "thoughts and prayers" responses I lose a little bit of hope that anyone in the GOP will have the sense and decency to implement any one of the many simple ways to combat these horrible, unique tragedies. It just feels more and more hopeless as the total death toll to mass shootings steadily rises day after day yet nothing happens
There needs to be change, these needless tragedies are completely preventable

Hearing that classroom video filmed on a phone, it sure sounded like a lot of shots from a AR15 or similar.
The sheriff named him and gave his birthdate about 10 minutes ago.
This one is close to home for me.
I live in Boca Raton and this happened around 30 minutes away from us.
My cousin who goes to school in coconut creek told me there was a kid at his school that had a picture of a dead body sent to him by his friend that went to that school... and he was sending it to kids at my cousins school.
What a tragic day. God help the families effected by this

It's hard for me to say anything knowing that this won't cause lawmakers to make any changes.
What are you accomplishing by pushing your antimen agenda in a thread about dead children? Gun control is a conversation that has a place here. Its an actual solution. You're not offering a solution.
And not even that, there are already usually armed police at these schools.
FYI,
http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ is an excellent resource on the breakdown of gun violence numbers within the US.

this makes me worried for copycats during the BP premiere. largest gathering of black people.
edit: as a Florida resident this is crazy. most of the time school shootings here are targeted cases with 1-4 deaths.

You would think the constant need for armed security at a fucking SCHOOL would tip off functioning human beings to the idea that something isn't quite right.
might want to revise the Brazil verse, gun violence in Brazil has exploded in the last decade.
Weird logic. That is like saying everyone who was anti government is responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing because the perp was anti-government.
Or anyone who drives the same car as this kid is responsible.
The only one responsible is the kid that pulled the trigger and maybe the parents, the influences in the kids life, the lack of support for mental health issues in this country, etc...
Are you kidding me? Schools should be worried about kidnapping and idiots fighting each other with fists. They shouldn't have to worry about one of their students having access to a gun and murdering/injuring dozens of students!
God thinking about that is crazy. Most we had when I went to school was a scanner and that was mostly so they had an excuse to take your phone.
it's a regular semiautomatic rifle. it isn't some super 100 bullets a second death machine. it's legal in every state. but nobody cares in this country, they'll sell anything to anyone, life is cheap and money is king.
1-4 deaths is normal for school shootings in the US of fucking A.
This isnt an attack at your post fyi....just unreal that we(USA) has "normal" yield for school shootings :(
Wow, Phil Mudd going off on CNN. Extremely well said.
The "we are exceptional" excuse is sickening.

It doesn't help anybody to share shit from a Twitter handle called "RedPilled."
Body bags should be placed on the front lawn of The White House, totalling those that died this year at schools already.
And the fact that he could get hold of a gun. Don't forget that part.
The people who push for and support a culture where guns are as easy to get as a bag of chips are also responsible.
I really hope not. And you know if this happens the GOP won't even be offering thoughts and prayers.
It's a mental health issue they say yet they made it easier for people with mental health issues to get guns.
True then that shouldn't be available widely. That said the bolded is so sadly true in this country.
i can't believe so many of these guys still use the "thoughts and prayers" line. like, they don't even care enough to change up the wording and pretend like they're being sincere. just no effort whatsoever.
And the incidents of beatings and killings at the hands of school guards will rise exponentially.
More cops isn't going to solve anything. And you know it'll be shit people with shit training who end up in those positions no matter how good intentions are.
Oh sorry that wasn't directed at you I recognized the snark. XD Just what you were responding too.
