[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened was terrible. However, you must realized that gun owner ship in the last 2 years have increased dramatically. Why? We must try to ag least look at why these things happen. I know it’s hard.

1) how many school shooters come from a broken home?
2) how many were bullied or socially ostracized?
3) how many were already on the radar of authorities with prior police visits or reports?
4) how many had friends who saw signs of problems but never reported or made an effort to get them help?

It’s a very similar profile and is not a 1:1 for all gun owners. It’s the same as saying a man with DUI  killed 2 people on the way home after midnight so we ban all cars.  Yes you can, but does it make sense.

We all know in other counties where citizens don’t have protection, are easily controlled. Just look at what’s happening in china with mass lock downs. Even the purchase of a meet cleaver for cooking requires you to link it to a QR code associated with buyer for tracking. That is one version of the timeline I don’t want to be on. I have family back there and it’s a different world.

Can we all please at least lay blame on the terrible police force that let this happen first? I feel like they are getting a free pass for completely failing their community. [/quote]

The police response was awful, and worthy of discussion, but a distraction from what needs to happen now.  Ultimately, they didn’t go onto a school and shoot to kill 21 people.  A teenager was able to walk in off the street and purchase an incredibly powerful weapon, no questions asked.  We need better gun control, period.[/quote]
