NICS, strong penalties to medical providers who do not provide needed information to feed into NICS, and the epidemic of crime thanks to the pansy arse mayors/DAs/Judges refusing to prosecute and incarcerate criminals. If they aren't already PP nor prosecuted they also would not be flagged in NICS.
Doesn’t matter. It’s all of our problem. And since we do absolutely nothing to fix it, part of the blame is on all of us.
People need to start pushing back against this new approach of using the wound a AR-15 bullet makes as a reason to ban them. You're dead whether it's an AR, handgun, or shotgun head shot. It's also most likely death if it's a shot to the upper body.
And where's the national outrage for a 4 time illegal Mexican carrying out a mass shooting in Texas? If he was a white guy using an AR powder coated with the stars and bars we'd be seeing AOC and Schumer running to microphones screaming for even more bans. Yet with this it's a manhunt, arrest, and crickets.

I don’t think people who shoot up schools are worried about how the DA will respond.
ETA. I agree the selective outrage is disgraceful. White guy shoots up a school, it’s all over the news. Black guy shoots a black kid, crickets.

I could tell, but you know how fragile this Board is.

I get trying to post breaking news fast and first, but dang proof read your stuff.
From Atlanta's flagship tv news station's website:

Police said no additional shots have been fired since the incident unfolded, but officers are still actively searching for the victim and any other victims. The injured victims have been taken to the hospital. Their identities and conditions have not been released.

Most of these people would not be in position to do these shootings if they were prosecuted which automatically makes them Prohibited Possessors and thus makes it more difficult for them to get a gun. Instead your ilk would rather see DAs let these people off while making those of us who abide by the laws have to jump through hoops and play whack-a-mole in the court system when these liberal fricks pass unconstitutional laws. (Don't worry the new IL/WA/CO laws will reach SCOTUS and likely expand 2A protections.)

What?? Most school shooters have no priors and have legally owned guns.
The other side of mass shootings (blacks), I agree 100%. Get these frickers off the streets when they show signs of violent behavior and away from society.

They make the AJC/Channel 2 but aren't going to make national news.

Wtf are you spouting about? I quoted, verbatim, the WSB Reporter standing in front of Farm Burger.

Poor mental health care. Poor parenting.
Where were the mass shootings in the 70's & 80's when we had guns in our trucks at school?

Not a white guy and not an AR. No story.

Not a fair comparison because a) no internet, and b) no 24/7 news cycle.
Copycat killing is a real thing. If someone wanted to shoot up a school in 1975 it would have been quite easy.

Most were on the radar of local law enforcement prior to the shootings but they failed to act.
Like Cruz at Parkland

FOX in ATL is reporting that the shooter fled to Cobb. Was spotted near a school.

Not you; the WSB website. Seems like they would proofread their stuff before posting.

There shouldn't be a law requiring safes in every home but some of these kids' parents should/could have taken measures to at least make the gun inoperable (trigger locks). Personally speaking, we have slowly accumulated enough guns that a safe was the best way to go. (I am an outdoor writer and a lot of these companies usually ask for a nominal amount to keep the gun.) Our safe code is very easy for us to remember but something our teens couldn't figure out. If there was a threat we could give them the code and they could defend the house within seconds. That is the kind of responsible gun ownership that should be prevalent in this country (and especially in homes where a kid may have a nut loose).

Copycat killing is a real thing.
Here's a solution...drop the fricking left wing agenda and stop giving these losers the notoriety they seek. Part of that could be a change in definition of a mass shooting. Modify it to 10 deaths. That would cut 75% of media reporting which would then take away most of the segment of misfits who do it for attention. Everyone equates a shooting of a family being reported as a mass shooting to Columbine/Newtown/Uvalde/Parkland. That's on the media.
And then beyond NICS...Uvalde cops stood in the hallway and listened to the gunfire before moving in (even stopping one LEO from going in to save his wife's co-workers and the kids). Or the Sheriff in Florida who wagged his finger in Loesch's face despite knowing his own cowardly LEO ran AWAY from the gunfire. But let's ignore all of that and ban guns just for looking scary.

Combination of poor mental health facilities as well as an overall bad healthcare system coupled with extremely weak laws when it comes to firearms and cucked politicians that will do anything to deflect the issues at hand because they’re getting paid off.
