Another school shooting

[BigJay]

Honestly surprised all high schools and most middle schools don’t have metal detectors these days

I know cost is a factor but seems like they could find a way

2 dead, 2 injured after shooting inside Antioch High School cafeteria

MNPD’s Don Aaron reports that one girl is dead, and the shooter, a 17-year-old boy, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sounds like thankfully the shooter offed himself before it got much worse

Two kids shot though. Sounds like no fatalities there thankfully. Hope it stays that way

The shock of reading these types of headlines no longer exists. Happens too often.
We'll never fix this issue with how our society thinks today.

Can't wait to hear all the "thoughts and prayers" BS from politicians.

Sadly - there is no stopping this kind of thinking.

What you can stop is 17 year old kids from gaining access to a damn handgun - especially ones with issues.

Again - can’t wait to hear how this kid got a gun. Did parents just keep one in the house and think their son would never take it to school - or did they buy it for him to be the “cool” parent who entrust a weapon to a kid ?

I’m solidly pro gun - but there is no reason in hell that anyone under 21 needs to have unrestricted access to a weapon - especially in an urban setting. I’m talking any damn gun - handguns just make it all the stupider. Let me get this straight - an 18 year old can’t rent a damn car (too dangerous) - but can easily purchase a gun for example ? Makes zero sense to me. Grew up around them and handled plenty as a “kid” - but there’s a difference between having access under supervision and having unrestricted access. Trigger locks and secure access a must - and secured doesn’t mean in a safe where the kid knows your combination.

Guns can't be a part of the problem though

Says the only developed country with loose gun laws and this amount of gun violence

Need mental detectors not metal ones.

How many more children must die before changes are made?

What changes? It is not a gun issue, it is a disturbed mentally screwed up person.

What changes? It is not a gun issue, it is a disturbed mentally screwed up person.

Then why does it happen in literally no other developed countries?

Mental health issues exist everywhere. America is middle of the pack in mental health.

Difference is people like this shouldn't have access to guns.
