Don't know about that (if you know something then link to it), but I did suggest earlier that she would be a "Christian." Looks like I'm probably right since she was a former student of the school.


"The 28-year-old shooter was a resident of the Nashville area and had attended the Covenant School at some point, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said during a news conference."

Because they must notify the family and determine if others were involved.

the police twitter says the shooter was 28 years old, so they must have I.D.'d them already

I'm religious and pray.

Praying for the dead, does not save lives from shooting. Guns are out of control in the US. The entire world tells us - it's out of control.

From what I am seeing, it is a woman who went by he/him.

Oh then it was a male shooter.

No, a woman. Her pronouns don't make her a male.

We have their thoughts and prayers. Doesn't that stop bullets or do they just call fake news when children actually die?

Per the perusal of Foxnews comments every time something like this happens, it's:

-That we don't have enough armed guards at schools ("lots of retired veterans would be happy to guard schools!") ignoring that we have mass shootings with armed guards anyways, and at other locations besides schools including concerts, malls, movie theaters, workplaces, churches, and on and on
-That we don't arm teachers (most teachers don't want to be armed, I know many of them and they have enough to worry about let alone carrying a loaded gun that kids could easily get ahold of)
-That it's our lack of family values as a country/society in the USA that is to blame (specifically democratic erosion of traditional family values)... basically a "shrug, can't do nothing about that till we have better morals!" response that is useless
-We have enough gun laws, more won't do anything

blah blah blah. Conservatives have absolutely nothing helpful to say and it keeps happening and rinse and repeat.

Tbh I just pray it happens at schools filled with the kids of Republican elites. Then only way they change their tune is when it happens to them. They don’t give a f#ck about anyone else.

That said, I wish for a world with strong gun control and an absence of school shootings.

Wow. Just wow.

Yes, I am also shocked at how ghoulish the Republican elites conduct themselves. Democrats have been begging for 20 years for sensible gun reforms and the Republicans just grow more extreme, egged on by our lunatic Supreme Court.

If we are going to have a country with mass shootings, I’m going to pray that it mostly affects those who enable it to happen and block good-faith reforms. Reap what you sow, and all that.

Multiple posters on this thread have literally said they hope the dead children have Republican parents, and you're calling Republicans "ghoulish?" I've never seen/heard Republicans hoping for dead children.

Maybe not but can you name any Republicans who would trade their right to a gun for the life of one child?

Apparently no one can name a Republican who would give up their second Amendment rights if it saved the life of one child. Pretty clear that Republicans value guns more than children.

I'm a Republican. I will give up my rights to ever own a gun, if a woman who was about to abort her baby instead committed to carry the baby to term. Is that what you are looking for? Or just a public figure/politician?

You want to control women more than you want to control gun ownership. Typical.

Let's at least be honest that this is a politics issue that very clearly divides the two parties. And it seems like all of the parents out there voting for Republicans are just signing their children's death warrants. And are okay with it.

None of this is funny. Some problems have more than one cause - a concept that's difficult for some to understand. It's a mental health issue, it's a lack of gun control issue, it's the fact that a lay person has the ability to buy an assault weapon, it's an issue of not sufficient security in our schools, it's an issue of red flags being ignored or minimized. By the way, people with mental illness are more likely to be victim of violence than commit an act of violence. I guess moving this discussion from the political forum to the health forum will solve the problem.

PP, you forgot to include the last clause in PP's opening sentence: if it truly is a mental health issue. The PP didn't set it up as a binary, but to point out that Republicans often hide behind the mental health fig leaf (given that they refuse to fund those services, etc).

Republicans don’t want to pay for mental health treatment. They’re the party of “f**k your feelings, snowflake!” They don’t want to fund anything but the military, tax cuts, and corporate welfare.

because if you have enough money, it's all taken care of.

You can put your kid in private Christian school and they’re still vulnerable

Is this the first at a religious school? If so the GOP might care. They don’t care about the others but white Christian children might be important to them.

How quickly we forget West Nickel Mines, the Amish school where 10 children were shot dead in 2006.

Oh, look! Sen. Marsha Blackburn has just weighed in...Predictably she is calling for prayer. That should fix everything!

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) responded to the deadly shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville that left six people dead, including three children, with a statement on Twitter saying her office is ready to assist local officials, and to “join us in prayer for those affected.”

Why do you demand to know

This is the 128th mass shooting in the US this year

86 days in the year so far and 128 mass shootings. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

GOP! NRA! MAGA!

Pronouns change absolutely nothing about a mass shooting.

She's "ready to assist local officials?"
Hopefully the local officials are telling her that the help they need from her is passing legislation. Nothing short of that will actually help.

Idiot. Blame the shooter, please.

I blame the shooter and the easy access to weapons.

Let’s hope her parents will be charged if it is found those guns were theirs

Her parents should be locked up for life with no parole. The are responsible for their daughters actions. Let them rot.

Their daughter was 28. At what point are parents no longer responsible for their kids' actions?

Come on. The PP probably assumed the shooter was a current student as that is often the case. My guess is if the PP knew the shooter's age, then they would not have suggested it.

That's what you get for assuming, especially since the school stops at 6th grade. Why wait for facts? Just assume and spout off!
