US School Shooting

[Chippiewill]

Any other time. Literally any other day, open a thread about gun laws in america. Don't use a tragedy to push your beliefs on people. The fact of the matter is he (and you in your post) aren't even discussing gun laws, just taking the piss out of the americans. Natural death is funny. School shootings are not.

It seems to make much more sense to discuss it when the reasoning behind the discussion is so prevalent.

I find it impossible to understand what could cause somebody to do this.

Mental health disorder.

I want to know how many more massacres and shootings it'll take before the government realizes the people can't be trusted with the right to bear arms, nor should we. It doesn't promote self-defense, only inspires violence, and it's being taken out on innocent people again and again. Several school shootings and the Aurora theatre shooting which I myself nearly went to...

Yet another addition to a long list.

Law enforcement officials say Connecticut shooting suspect's mother, teacher at school, among those found dead

There's the connection of the school. His farther also seems to have been killed at the home.

Wtf... The Scottish Government recently made it that ALL schools in Scotland had to be fitted with a lock entry system so that if someone needs into another building during class time, they've to buzz in. This is a primary school, that makes it worse as they rarely move around the school! Makes me very angry that this could have been avoided with the correct security measures, such a tragic and upsetting story!

I only said it because I remember back to the batman shooting where people said they should have been allowed guns inside the cinema so they could have shot the guy before he killed too many people

with that stupid mentality I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to arm their children aswell

US schools have such systems already. They are locked and you have to be buzzed in but if they have a connection to the school such as your mum works there, then the chances of you being let is a lot more than a someone they don't know.

Surely the person who allowed them access should have been trained properly to ask for the correct student name and their name? I wouldn't imagine it would be hard to get all parent's names on database.

The shooter's mother works at the school, that's where the connection of him is with the school.

What was farther away?
