    Let's think about this for a moment. These beautiful, smart and brave children were honor students, why? Because they come from a loving supportive home, now the shooter come from a broken, unloving home. This is not to justify what he did obviously. My point is that there are many children and teens in this world living in this type of environment and that to me is why this trategies keep happening. From now on if we see a child who is down instead of judging him/her let's try to help them realise that they are worth it and they can change no matter the circimstances they are going through.

      There was safety protocols put into place by abbott in 2019. The school failed to follow the safety protocols specifically for active shooters on a campus.
      A teacher gave the shooter access to the school. She propped open the back door and left it. While in a active shooter lockdown no less.

    I would advise nobody to give up their guns at this time. With hyper-inflation about to set in and crime steadily on the rise and getting worse, you need to remember that the police have no legal obligation to protect you and if they do, they will never get to your location fast enough. When seconds count, the cops are minutes away and that's an understatement really! You have to be your own first responder and you have a natural right to protect yourself and those you love.

      what we do want is a responsible gun culture in this country.
      you want to own gun, then start demanding all gun owners to know and respect the weapons they have, submit to extensive background checks and psychological testing. 100 Hrs of training and prove you have gun safety storage.

    I had no knowledge that 21yrs was federal for obtaining a handgun.
    Someone suggested why not raise assault rifle age to 21.
    HALF RIGHT about school shooters.
    HOW ABOUT 21yrs federal as the age for ANY SEMI AUTOMATIC weapon AND a fixed (unremovable) magazine only for non semi auto below 21yrs !
    That makes logical sense!
    (Too proper adult chest height solid wire rod fence and entry exit federal policy , also emergency vehicle access gates as appropriate , for schools also).
    In school shooting it is the rapid fire ability.
    I think for most somehow people of 18 19 years old remain children in their minds and do not have a true sense of distinguishing self control or community cooperation as part of a nation in terms of what their own wants and actions are.
    Stepping from school to the real world generally requires a few years to understand they simply are not a child and there is no tolerance for some thinking or behaviours around other people and what that means in going about whatever they do without causing trouble to others.
    However, that type of action is bizarre but does need guard against.
    I agree it never actually occurred much until this millenia, but it is here and it need not be such a fail.
    Point is, all semi auto to be 21yrs and bolt and single allowed below 21 may well do better than attempting red flag.
    However, this brings us to Timothy McVeigh, a bomber. Through Australian history post firearms ban there are many instances of bombers albeit somewhat negligable, but they do point well to the fact that not only do some methods of attack not stop but the problem of the mass killer does not go away. However, neither does mass killing by firearm.
    It can be readily deduced from this that at no time does removing firearms and second amendment rights create a fair or just society and in fact would be the level of a dictatorship of which only corrupt prosper (because second amendment supports the point of right to bare arms and right to bare arms makes the point of the second amendment valid to being enacted with, cannot have one without the other or they are the value of an AKA wooden coin)
