Shooter at large. No leads.

Is that really the best option?

I am afraid gun control won’t keep Ivy League shooters (this guy, Luigi etc) from getting guns…They will 3D print them…

Gun control didn’t stop the Unabomber.

If my kid were at Brown and I was driving distance away, I’d be on my way. It’s finals week which I’m sure Brown will have some kind of change coming to accommodate. I wouldn’t want my kid there for the next few weeks before break with a shooter on the loose.

background checks wouldn't stop the majority of mass shooters

My husband said the same ! He’d already be on his way.

Ok well, reducing them would be good too.

My son is at a different New England school but I just told my husband if this were happening at his school I would already be at the airport/on a plane. Not sure I'd bring him home, though I suppose they will cancel finals, but I'd want to be physically there with him.

Let’s not politicize this please.

People always say that and then nothing happens. How many of these do we have to see happen and listen to empty platitudes about thoughts and prayers while politicians continue to take money from gun manufacturers?

You can’t give it even an hour during an active shooting to begin screeching politics. This is scary, horrifying, and needs to be addressed, but right now, parents are worried their kids may be dead or soon dead

“Screeching politics” means highlighting things that make a certain kind of politics look bad.

Don’t bring up politics! (Nobody says this during terrorist attacks where the perpetrators are a different kind of politics)

People can bring up whatever they want and if you cared enough to have the courage to chime in you'd have the right to do so.

Right now I’m worried about my daughter who is sheltering in place.

I’m worried for my goddaughter who is sheltering in place. But I’m also thinking about the insane politics that contribute to this situation and I am 100% sure that she and her friends are also thinking about that right now as they are worried for themselves and their friends. I don’t see how one can think about one thing and not the other, but I appreciate that might not be how you process trauma and I wish you and your daughter the best.

Maybe not but they will stop many DV shooters, some of whose victims are also children.

If you help put guns in the street, this blood is on you. I don’t give one crap if you are offended.

This.

Tomorrow will mark 13 years since Sandy Hook. The students shot today were likely born in the same years. We had 13 years. So when is "too soon", exactly?

My college freshman was 5 and in kindergarten when Sandy Hook happened. There is a Parkland survivor on lockdown at Brown right now. It is not political to state that we have failed in protecting America’s children from gun violence. That is fact.

Political is whether you think that’s acceptable and what you are willing or not willing to do about it.

Children go to bed hungry in America. Whether you think we should do something about that and if so what we should do is political.

Not the time as it’s still happening right now, @sshole.

NP. Why the hell not? It happens ALL THE TIME. These deaths are on you and all the rest of the 2nd amendment fanatics.

Maybe it would stop some? That would be good, right?

I understand the impulse but rushing in and creating traffic can impede law enforcement and EMS.
