| My issue with these types of PSAs is there is no call to action. And they are speaking to the same people who agree with gun control. So what's the point? |

Did you watch it? The call to action is to go to their website where they have a program that teaches people some of the signs that kids show before they become school shooters. There’s nothing about gun control there. https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/prevention-programs2 |

My issue with these types of DCUM posts is that the writers don’t read before they write them. |

| Few political issues are so clear cut but gun control (and gun reduction) is one of the biggest no brainers ever to face our country and our children. Guns are too readily available but the gun lobby puts a lot of money in certain people's pockets. I'm taking a long hard look at the Democratic candidates that are willing to take this shit head on. Too many guns. It's really that simple. |

| I'm crying watching the PSA, knowing that's the possibility of it happening to my kids is real. |

News Flash: It’s been happening for decades, but now it’s also the white boys that are raging - and not just black boys. |

I have two students like this. I've reported them to the counselors, to the principal, and even made the tough call of reaching out to their parents. I was admonished for overstepping my boundaries and rushing to judgment. One of them brought a replica gun to school one day and then a knife. Even then, I was told to be compassionate and understand that he has a 504 due to his anxiety. He was off his meds and can't be suspended because it's a "medical issue." I am scared to death of those two kids and can't wait until they graduate. |

+1 We're doing an overseas assignment for a few years. It's not perfect, and there are many things we miss about the United States, but one of the best thing is that gun violence is so rare here (and it's rare in most developed countries). |

That reminds me of the story of the Stoneman Douglas shooter and one of the victim's father's write-ups. Another student, Sarah, recalled a time when he threw his chair across a classroom. Later, she saw him sitting outside the classroom with his desk tied down. Cruz’s records suggest that his reign of terror at Westglades Middle School began halfway through his seventh-grade year, in February of 2013. For the next calendar year, Cruz was suspended every other day. Cruz’s eighth-grade language arts teacher, Carrie Yon, kept diligent notes on his behavior for Cruz’s “Functional Behavior Analysis”: Nick later used his pencil as a gun … shooting around the classroom. “I feel strongly that Nikolas is a danger to the students and faculty at this school. I do not feel that he understands the difference between his violent video games and reality. He is constantly showing aggressive behavior and poor judgment. His drawing in class show violent acts (people shooting at each other) or creepy sexual pictures (dogs with large penises) … I would like to see him sent to a facility that is more prepared and has the proper setting to deal with this type of child.” Teachers were required to implement this plan for at least six weeks until Cruz could become eligible for further evaluation. In late November, Cruz attempted to commit suicide at school by running into oncoming traffic. But that did not accelerate the process. Nikolas Cruz couldn’t possibly have made himself any clearer. Broward schools staff knew exactly who and what he was. Yet they not only allowed him to enroll in Marjory Stoneman Douglas, they literally gave him an air gun, shaped like an AR-15, and let him practice shooting. https://nypost.com/2019/09/08/parkland-dad-massacre-was-avoidable-if-district-hadnt-enabled-deranged-student/ |
