Another School Shooting

The price of freedom according to moderate, sensible conservative, Bill O'Reilly.
 
Wait: is this a "mass" shooting or not?

I'm not sure how to calibrate my disgust...

ETA But as I'm a "Nogunz Brit" I'm probably excluded from having a view or feeling any level of disgust, not to mention my lack of children...

This is terrible. Imagine how much better it might have been if all the teachers were armed. Or even betterer if a PTA mom had a machine gun.

Proponents of the current interpretation of the second amendment are idiots.
 
On the bittersweet side, the school was prepared for a shooter from doing drills. I was reading that one student survivor was interviewed after emerging from their locked down room, where the shooter banged on the locked steel door demanding them to "open up"
 
I'm pleased to see Biden found some humour in a dark situation:

“After decades of inaction, Republicans in Congress must finally say ‘enough is enough’ and work with Democrats to pass common-sense gun safety legislation,” the president added.

More details fleshing out:

Two teachers and two students among the dead. Of the nine injured, only four with gunshot wounds. Not reported yet what the other 5 hospitalizations were caused by.

14yo suspect was a student at the school. Presumably, being 14, he was in his first days in high school.

SRO confronted him, and the boy lay down on the ground. No reported shots fired by the SRO.

And we have a name: Colt Gray. He will be tried as an adult, Georgia authorities already say.

Warning: Inappropriate comment ahead!
With a name like that, he should have been the coolest kid in school!

Seriously. Why didn't they just tell this kid the school was a gun free zone? Are they stupid?

Republicans in Congress are, coincidentally, saying enough is enough on this issue. They are currently working on speeches for the funerals to the effect of "this kind of thing really doesn't happen that often, so you really need to quit your bitching about every little pile of corpses in a school".
 
Evidently the assailant used a school-shooter special. Or, sorry, "AR-platform type weapon", according to state investigators. They're looking into how he obtained it.
 
From the "couldn't have seen this coming" department: seems the young Mr Gray and his father were questioned by county sheriffs just last year about the boy making online threats to shoot up a school,complete with pictures of guns. The father acknowledged that he had him a mess o' huntin' guns in the house. The betting window is open for how a 14yo could possibly have gotten his hands on a kill stick.
 
It's Wednesday.

ETA: whether tomorrow (Australian "today") is this Thursday or next Thursday remains in deep philosophical limbo.

It used to be that minors were kept anonymous. It was only minutes before this kid was doxxed and his picture all over TwiX. The thing is... they doxxed the wrong kid! Same name (which is kind of odd in itself), but there are pleas to leave this kid alone. I thought murderers were usually identified by middle name as well, to avoid this very situation.
 
US Govt response: Send thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims, followed by do absolutely nothing about "the American Disease"

https://abcnews.go.com/US/countries-show-us-americas-gun-violence-epidemic/story?id=80495637

"The U.S. has become so synonymous with its gun culture, that when Australia was working on enacting tighter firearm policies after its deadliest mass shooting ever, known as the Port Arthur massacre, then-Prime Minister John Howard pointedly said, "We do not want the American disease imported into Australia."​

Bogative will go into panic mode and list every crime by non whites for at least three months. no suggestions of solutions, just a list.

anyhow, it's the first day of school for kids here in my town. I hope they don't watch live news in social studies.
 
I pity the US that it's culture has become so warped that it is considered better to teach all children to live in fear in school than to limit the right to play with deadly weapons because it makes you feel all manly.
 
AR15?
"But it was legal."
Well, make them illegal, dickheads.
"something something something gun accessories"
Well, make them AND AR15s illegal, dickheads, and stop being obstructive.

The AR15 is not actually very powerful. What it is, is it is designed to be an effective anti-personell killing device. It is relatively small but rapid fire, even in semi-automatic mode, the bullets are designed to be most effective against people and it can carry a large capacity magazine. It is much more effective than a handgun but more convenient than a conventional rifle with a higher caliber round with a longer, more accurate and powerful barrel.

Why are they puzzled? They intend to try him as an adult. Why shouldn't an adult buy an AR-15?

"But you see technically this wasn't an "X" gun"
"You called it an assault doohickey which is wrong so you don't know what you are talking about so you can't have an opinion on whether children should be shot dead in schools or not"
"It's impossible to write legislation that would cover all the different types of guns"
"America the land of the free"
"But it's hard"
"You had a school shooting 30 years ago so tough gun control doesn't work"
"I wanna my bang sticks"

There are many opinions on how and why I post… some are retarded, as just evidenced.


I'll include this mass shooting in my September shootings tally early next month, just as I do with every double-digit casually mass shooting.

No, but since the OP thought it was necessary to open a new thread titled "another school shooting" instead of including this mass shooting in the already existing thread, I may start posting school shootings here.

I predict it won't take very long for the alleged critical thinking skeptics here at ISF to start crying racism or objecting to the definition of a school shooting when the demographics don't match their preconceived notions.

We need to make murder illegal. That'll solve it.

Should we increase social expenditure in black communities?

On the flip side, other posters will be sure to be interested in this one because the shooter is white. Even though the shooter is underaged, his name is already all over the place.

His name is Colt Gray. Can't get any Whiter than that. But maybe not name your son after a gun. M'kay.

I don't know about that. If the AR 15 was not a powerful weapon for Military Purposes, it,in it's varous versions, would not have been the standard firearm for the US Military for over 50 years. And it will still be widely used, although it is being replaced for Infantry by the Sig Sauer rifle.I see no reason why a civilian should own one, though.
