Sorry that you are dealing with those issue, but I am sorry it doesn't make you an expert on why kids are shooting up schools.

Who said I was an expert? It’s common sense. This kid was “known” to have questionable nefarious behavior. You think that’s random? It’s called he had a mental health issue that was unaddressed. Yet most of this country is filled with morons above the age of 55 who don’t have a clue how things are because “ back in their day”

It's common sense that whoever was raising him was doing so the very wrong way. I am not saying mental issues don't exist and don't sometimes play a role in these, but you are saying that all of these shootings and the reasons for them are all due to mental issue and social media and totally discounting proper parenting. Do you have kids?

Ok, I'm not digging down into the contextual relevancy of what should/shouldn't be considered a "school shooting" but since the criteria is supposedly the same the numbers should be at least somewhat relevant among each other.

School shootings in the United States - Wikipedia

The WORST decade in the last century (1990's) saw 62 shootings. With the better part of 2 years still on the clock in this decade that list shows 148.

Now realize that gun paranoia is so rampant in schools now that you can have a kid suspended for chewing his pop-tart into a gun shape and yet...

I can remember when it wasn't just normal but ubiquitous for boys to have pocket knives in school, often openly worn on the belt. Kids in the South/Mid West would bring guns to school for hunting after classes. Even if there IS something to discuss regarding guns it's a long way downstream from what in the hell is going on with people willing to simply kill for no fathomable* reason. The simple truth is people's willingness to commit these kinds of atrocities is outstripping anything as myopically simple as the inanimate objects used. Until we can get some useful grasp on what's actually driving the acts themselves most gun control is just trying to cut heads off the Hydra.

*Wanting to kill people isn't new and often you can at least "understand", on some level, why the spouse offs the cheating partner or the guy kills the person stealing money from them or what have you. (let's not confuse understanding with condoning) This unhinged "people are gonna die" thing is just different.

Make every teacher conceal carry. Make it part of their job to be trained with a handgun.. put the gun in a fingerprint scanner , wired to an alarm system, when the gun is pulled every door in the school locks down.. something along those lines..

This is just as extreme as banning all guns. And infringing on personal rights.

There's a stat floating around about the number of school schootings which is bogus IMO. It even includes an incident w a bb gun. Yet it still gets trotted out by people intending to deceive. They're a large part of the problem

So, why not put cops in schools like I suggested? It puts the "protect" into the motto and gets them off the street from harassing drivers.

Sounds like you should be all for it.
