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.

They do if they are immigrant children.

You really need to shut up. The GOP has facilitated the ownership and WORSHIP of guns. They won't support gun control. They never want to support anything that costs money, so they'll never help with mental health service. They are responsible for this as much as the shooters.

WTF?
Please give an example.

It does if she shooter was on testosterone.. It does if we define trans identity in some individuals as part of a constellation of issues that make them more vulnerable to depression and mental illness. (Most gun deaths in this country are suicides.)

We all knew something wasn’t quite right when we heard the school shooter was female. So yes, gender does matter in this context.

Sigh.

Buffalo grocery store shooter?
Columbine shooters?
Blacksburg VA?
Vegas Concert?
Charleston Church?
Republican baseball game?

The reasons for shooting are varied. It's the guns, that US leads the world in per capita ownership by a landslide, that our gun culture is out of control, that we are far more permissive with gun ownership than other countries including ones that have high (relative to the rest of the world) gun ownership. Quit with the distraction and deflection.

School shooter was under doctor's care for emotional issues. The parents knew she had weapons, but thought she had gotten rid of all the weapons.

The Chief of police in Nashville said that had the parents reported her emotional issues to law enforcement, they could have ensured that she was not able to be in possession of any firearms.

No checks and balances.

It DOES NOT matter. The previous 2000 shooters were not trans and were not on testosterone. So let's not make this about hormones. Mental health care is another issue. Other countries have just as many mentally ill people and 0 mass shootings.

I have a 10-year old in school and my heart absolutely breaks for the parents who lost their children in this massacre. God I wish there was a way to put an end to school shootings and gun violence once and for all, but it seems totally hopeless.

She was 28 years old. It's no longer the parents' responsibility, it's the government's.
Best way to ensure she doesn't have them is to ban them from ever being produced in the first place. That would mean you'd have to turn in yours. Are your guns more important to you than those childrens', and their families', lives?

She was living with her parents. And, they knew she was not mentally well.

And, as for law abiding citizens who own firearms for self protection surrendering them because YOU want that......
Forget it.
I happen to live in a very rural area. Law enforcement is 20 minutes away, at best, if we need them. We own firearms for self-protection from intruders and predators.
That is true of 99% of gun owners.

So you're admitting you'd rather sacrifice these childrens' lives so you can feel safe out in the country. You are just as much at fault as the parents are.

Yeah I don't think they had any rights to tell her what to do anymore. Other than the laws of their house. You can report someone but then you become target #1.

Or she could have simply moved out and taken her guns with her. Or store her guns in another facility. Nothing the parents can do about it.

As long as you're fine with the other 1% being able to use them in ways that you might like, I guess that's the trade off that law abiding citizens who own firearms are willing to make.
