Wait, in the open carry state? I thought the gun owners would stop this from happening the moment it happened, busting into the room in a blaze of glory and shooting this kid down to become the Patriotic hero, proving that guns are a necessity in preventing school shootings.

Okay, maybe not this time, but next time for sure.

they probably didn't have enough guns because LIBERALS want our children to die. if every student in the school was armed with an AR-15 this could have been prevented. remember, the solution to gun violence is to have more guns

I will agree with this though, Texas and other conservative states are fucking dumb when it comes to gun laws lmao
you've got a fucked system where its harder to practice your right to vote over your right to own a gun.

Just like the war on drugs. Or prohibition.

Those were grand slams too.

Almost as if blaming the object doesn't make the problem go away, hm.
so what you're saying is guns are an addictive substance?

Like I said, we need to arm the student council! Give them rail guns and grenade launchers. That'll stop this stuff for sure!

And yet we still don't pass out crack and meth without restriction. People will do drugs and we should help them fight addiction rather than jail them, but that doesn't mean the drugs should be available freely. Dealers hold some responsibility.

We need to attack problems from both ends, not argue which end to ignore.

It's incredibly easy to vote though. Like this last primary had the biggest turnout in history. Do you actually live in America? Voting is as easy as "Show up, show your ID (in some places), vote." And it's even easier now, as it just gets mailed to you lol. I'd say it's actually harder to buy a gun than to vote. Whereas you can just go to any voting booth, or mail in to vote, you actually have to look around for a gun, and some stores don't sell them anymore (where I live anyway). Not to mention the insane costs of ammunition, etc.

Yeah, voting is definitely far easier than buying a gun lol

Agreed. But the mental health half is gravely underfunded, often ignored, and carries the social stigma of being seen as lesser, or unstable if you admit to needing it.

in my area, up until maybe 5 years ago, you could walk into a gun show and buy a gun on the spot without an id or background check. you can still do that through "private sales". to vote, you need a state approved ID, which requires you to jump through a fuck ton of hoops to get in many states.

so yeah, you're full of shit so shut the fuck up.

That student has been identified as 18-year-old Timothy George Simpkins who is now at large and considered armed and dangerous.
It's believed that Simpkins is driving a 2018 silver Dodge Charger with license plate PFY-6260.
Police say if you encounter this person, or know anything about his whereabouts, to immediately call 911.


A total of four people were hurt, including three students and one adult.

That is the fastest I ever seen the media confirm a shooters identity.

In most states you are required to have an ID to vote. And most states don't require you to "Jump through hoops" to do so, and some states will still let you vote even if you fail to bring ID. Also "private sells" require you to find someone who not only has a gun, but is willing to sell you one lmao. It's still incredibly easy to walk in and vote in comparison to searching out a gun owner and buying one from them.

So nope, you're wrong.

Almost forgot the obligatory: You're actually full of shit, so you shut the fuck up. Or whatever.

no state gun law can do shit if the state over decides to hand out shotguns for funsies.

Why would one state's laws prevent another state from being able to enforce theirs?

Thats because they fled, and are at large. Usually when that happens they lock down the entire area and circulate the info in order to hopefully track them down quicker.

Hi.

I live in the very state where this shooting took place. Polling stations and drop-in boxes were being actively removed to force people to drive long distances away to vote. Mail-in votes were heavily restricted.

Meanwhile, I could literally roll out of bed and drive 7 minutes away to buy a gun from my local Academy today. Another guy I know had an entire fucking assault rifle shipped to him via UPS from a gun store down here. It's goddamn motherfucking Texas, there's more guns than parking spots down here.

There is absolutely an argument to be made for purchasing a gun down here being easier than casting a vote.

They won't. The level of racism in the United States is only outdone by the amount of money the NRA throws at the government.

Also invest into mental health and general societal infrastructure.

Glibness aside, fuck this active shooter prick. Whether he goes to jail or not, I hope he gets clocked across the face one way or the other.

If a sociopathic shithead child who causes a school shooting uses a firearm that was owned by one of the parents, this should be a prisonable offense for the parents.

If you want to have the responsibility of being a gun owner, you should be responsible for them if they get in the hands of a killer (outside of extraneous cases like someone breaking into your house and stealing a firearm). Maybe people will start locking their guns up in cabinets or safes when they are actually held responsible when their poorly raised sociopathic little fucks go and cause a rampage.

They can sell mini cases with locks at the gun store. Hell, it can even boost business. But if your kid can walk into your room and grab a gun and go shoot up a school...you should serve time for your obscene negligence.

Only if the ratio were like 99% black, 0.5% white, 0.5% other would action be taken. Since it's 99% white, expect nothing.

Guarantee there will be more tacked on when the cops are done. Probably 5 counts attempted murder because it's Texas and one of the victims is pregnant.

My school got evacuated for a potential school shooter. During lockdown I stood right behind the door. Figured if the dude busted in he'd start shooting immediately so I could probably disarm him quickly. If he walked forward a few steps I would literally be behind him.

Everyone else moved to one side of the room out of the initial line of fire if he were to burst in. We also taped black poster board over the window.

School didn't have any lockdown procedure so we just made shit up. I can't believe it's 2021 and School still don't have lockdown procedures...like why not?

Anyhow, it was a false alarm. A kids father used his sons truck to go hunting that weekend and forgot to remove his rifles from the truck bed. Kid took the truck to school without looking. A campus security guard saw it when doing his rounds in the parking lot.

Poor kid got charged and everything. Had to leave school.
