Oh yeah, orders of magnitude more. That's why I said mass shootings like this one aren't really a problem.
But they are much more valuable, politically speaking. The only reason any politician you've seen speak so far after this one can be bothered to act like they give a shite is because it is politically expedient to do so. A "mass shooting" in the right part of town is one of the most powerful pieces on the board.

interesting carry statement, a couple weeks ago we went to a b manilow concert and the safety checks were similar to airport security
I couldn't even carry a pocketknife into the Alladin Broadway Theater League show because it was a Disney production and they had their own security. Maybe put Disney in charge of school security, I can promise you no one would get a gun by them.

In what way should they be more strict?
And would your new stricter laws have stopped this tragedy?
Adopt the laws of the countries that have low mass shooting/homicide rates. I realize the US won't mirror their results, but it will lower what exists today.
Not a SINGLE one of those countries shares a border with a failed narco-state that is awash in guns despite its own extremely restrictive gun laws. Only El Cartel and the "government" have guns there. Don't you dare throw up the number of school shootings there without admitting that entire towns have been taken by armed forces of the cartels. "From 2006 to 2022, organized crime homicides killed an estimated 350,000 to 400,000 people"

Probably bullying.
I doubt it, honestly. Legit bullying (ie. basically torture) doesn't really exist anymore, and at least with the other similar cases, the perps were more ignored than harassed. There's something else going on.
I think it has quite a bit to do with the increasing numbers of autism and others on the spectrum. I don't think it's a coincidence we're also seeing an increase in violent trans attacks, as the social circles absolutely seem to intersect. It's very different from Columbine these days, which was the case of an actual psycopath and an incel who watched Natural Born Killers a few too many times. Today it's more of a world-view issue. Idk exactly what it is, but that's where people need to look.

Sure. What's your point?
The common usage of the term mass shooting describes events like what happened today, not when some innocent black kids get killed in the hood.
Not when statistics are compiled. You'd be surprised at what constitutes a "mass shooting" for government and NGO statistical purposes.
For the record though, I agree with your definition.

There’s pics of the kid, maybe, on twitter. I’m not gonna post bc I’m not sure if it’s legit or not yet. But it looks like he was trying to be trans or liked 80s womens hairstyles at the least.
ETA: there’s another pic of a kid who looks like an all American boy.
Supposedly one name and pic going around is incorrect, but I am not sure if this person was incorrectly mentioned as the main suspect or incorrectly as an accomplice.
“Colt Gray” seems to be name most are reporting now.

Seriously..
Kids get bullied every day, and it's enough for them to go over the edge and pull something like this..

In the last couple of weeks my daughter had to spend a few days in one of the local children's hospitals here in Atlanta. You can't even enter without providing ID and going through metal detectors.

Daily Mail, link above, has a story from someone who sat next to him in Algebra class. He got up and left the class, no bathroom pass was requested, came back door, was closed someone got up to let him in, saw the gun, and didn't open the door. Door next was open, then the class heard the gunshots nearby.
I read that. Policy on doors could be different, but you would think after Uvalde teachers would keep doors shut including allowing it to auto shut and lock.

not all kids are worth saving.
I would say it as not all kids are saveable. Again a parenting and crumbling of society issue.
Thank democrats
You know, I went to school in rural AL with some grade A $hitheads. I would have been sure at the time that some of them weren't worth saving, BUT the difference in the 1970's and '80's was that we all feared the teachers, especially the coaches, as much as we respected them. The large, perforated wooden paddles abounded. The $hitheads could get away with a little, but they could not openly disrupt class, and they were as afraid of those paddles as the rest of us were.
There is no fear whatsoever of consequences any more in kids, so you end up with kids beating down teachers, and bullying goes unchecked because if a kid fights back, the consequences are worse for the bullied than for the bully in most cases. In extreme cases, you end up with bullied kids shooting up schools.
Out of all those $hithead kids who regularly got their arses beat back home, AFAIK none of them ended up in prison, black or white, and most of them ended up with semi-productive, if blue collar lives. One or two really made something of themselves, including one of the most thuggish. They were held to a standard. There are no standards any more, and that is a direct result of leftist and feminist policies in education.
We don't need more gun laws that will only be enforced against middle age males. We need a return to behavioral and disciplinary standards in school. Make Paddlin' Great Again.

If you control for a certain segment of the US population, our homicide rates are some of the lowest in the world, despite the massive amount of firearms owned *legally* in this country.
But that's not a discussion you want to have, because it's not politically expedient.
And for pieces fricking shite like you, it's only about the politics.
It's rather odd that here in Idaho, one of the most heavily armed states in this nation, firearm-based homicide is almost non-existent.
Why is that? Not that I expect you to answer.

Exactly. That's why the response should be to remind people that, while this is a tragedy and heartbreaking for the families involved, it's not really a problem compared to inner city gang violence and violent crime in the black community. That's the problem we should be working on. And it's not a gun problem.

Yikes.Posted on 9/4/24 at 7:43 pm to Bobby OG Johnson
These freaks are ALWAYS flagged by concerned citizens. Yet our FBI never does enough to protect innocent lives. Makes one wonder.

"The Shooter was Known to the FBI" would be the free square on every mass shooting BINGO card at this point.
