Horrific scene, see by kids from Latin(s), WLA, Perry, Truth, Brookland Middle.

So the killer was trying to help?

I wasn’t there but it seems reasonable to me that he may not have intended to shoot. He’s a kid with a gun. It’s predictable that something might go wrong there. If that’s what happened, I do feel bad for the shooter. Some of these kids get guns from the adults in their lives because they think they need them to protect themselves. It’s all so screwed up.

Did you feel such sympathy for, say, the parkland shooter?

I'm not the person you're addressing, but don't you think a kid trying and failing to intervene in an already violent situation with a gun he should never have had access to and accidentally firing the gun or poorly firing the gun...

You are making a lot of assumptions about this kid that may not necessarily be true. Do we know how the kid got the Gun, it's very possible he bought it from a tree gang. Most kids don't carry around guns and shoot people.

is a different situation than a premeditated school shooter who plans on murdering dozens and then does so?

If you really don't see the difference I worry for your ability to reason.

Yes! But it will never happen. What we need is better birth control.

Ideally. The problem is that the moms give up on the boys.

Point of use gun control works. This never would have happened if we had such policies.

Congress has blocked DC from having gun control. So, really, not an option for us.

Stop and frisk is gun control.

Remember when you idiots said it was no big deal for kids to miss to years of school and saying otherwise was racist?

Stop and frisk is fun control that "gun control advocates" are against. - legal gun owner, DC

Sorry, gun control. Nothing fun about this thread.

Let's consider how to bring back stop and frisk while also having police follow the law. We should check for illegal guns especially in places like Metro or schools.

Just make them random stops w/o specific profile. But you'd rather protect violent criminals and have children shot dead on the train. Very nice.

Are you kidding? DC has some of the most stringent anti-gun laws in the country.

This person wants more Black children shot on the metro. There is an easy solution this person hates.

Among those that appear to have been violated here:

1. Possession of firearm by a minor;
2. Possession of ammunition by a minor;
3. Unregistered handgun;
4. Unregistered ammunition;
5. Carrying pistol without license;
6. Firearm on Metro property;
7. Unlawful discharge of firearm;
8. Reckless endangerment;
9. Various laws against shooting someone (malicious wounding, attempted murder; murder; conspiracy, etc).

Good idea. I'm also fine with random roadblocks and checking people paperwork (ie that they are not driving u registered/stolen vehicles or clouds of pot coming from their vehicles).
