School shooting in Indiana

This is getting out of hand

It's not going to stop until the libs get what they want.

Schools are gun free zones. Why don't they make this public knowledge so criminals stop doing this?

You know what most of these school shootings seem to have in common? They are all in middle class communities with not a ton of crime in the area or kids involved in crime going to the school.

Those types of schools differ from their inner city counterparts in a fairly obvious way...none of them have any real security on hand, as they are not really worried about bad, violent students coming in there and committing crimes on a daily basis. How many have metal detectors versus their inner city counterparts that have to?

I've yet to hear of a story of a school shooter having to shoot their way into a school to kill anyone. They have simply walked right on in and got to work. Seems like an issue that could be addressed before we start removing the rights of law abiding citizens that have frick all to do with committing these crimes...but then I'm more concerned with preventing these things than I am with remodeling America.

And I say this as a guy that owns zero firearms.

If they would only institute Common Sense Media Control you would not have to read about this.

Sandy Hook actually had some semblance of security. The doors were all locked on the outside. The shooter had to take out a window with his rifle. So, I guess bulletproof glass is the next step.

Then that's one...and it seems like an anomaly. I appreciate the info.

But it does seem very clear that we're making it incredibly easy for these things to happen by virtue of allowing them to be the softest of soft targets in the vast majority of cases.

My son's elementary school had the obligatory GUN FREE ZONE sticker on the front door...and then absolutely no security anywhere. In fact, if you turned left instead of right upon entering you could just walk right into the school without even passing on front of the office, and even if you turned right no one in there would have likely gotten up off their arse to find out who you were. If I did not understand that my son was far more in danger driving around in a car than he is at school this would have bothered me greatly.

My humble opinion...address the glaring lack of security in schools first and see how that works BEFORE attempting to disarm all of America to solve this problem.

If that doesn't fix it at all, back to the drawing board. If it fixes it some but causes others, again...readdress. but...unless the endgame is to remove all firearms from the country addressing this issue from that angle makes no actual sense if the goal is protecting children now.

Having a school resource officer most likely would have saved a lot of little children at Sandy Hook. I think every school should have a resource officer. That is just plain common sense.

Thank God only injured and not dead.

Can the mods create a school shooting board?
