I know there have been several other posts about the shooting, but this one was particularly well written AND, if you go to the website, there are 2 excellent informative videos. One, "American Firearms and Their Rate of Fire" is particularly interesting. I'm sure FReepers who have experience with firearms will say that the BBC omitted some important firearms from the video, but I found it very telling.

Can I ask a question?

Was there a deputy assigned to the school? Around here they are called school resource officers or something.

“You see, honey, when you disarm law-abiding citizens, destroy common values, religion, and the family, then treat masculinity as evil, while emptying the asylums and encouraging drug use and deviant behavior without social moirees, you’re gonna have some issues arise.”

Or that is how I started my child’s lesson...

In today’s world why are these schools not locked down? Our schools here are. No one in or out without authorization. You must be buzzed in. This individual was a known problem, was not attending, and was only restricted if he had a back pack? Administration dropped the ball big time here and people payed with their lives. Gross negligence.

The BBC offered nothing relevant about the mass murders brought by our regime of anti-family immorality and drug addiction. During the ‘90s, we wrote to warn America about the superpredators we’re seeing now.

Outlawing our Second Amendment won’t help to do anything but bring the remainder of the idolatrous and anti-family attitudes of the old country to the U.S.A. and make us more vulnerable to the incremental commie/fascist foreign invasion in process.

Apparently there were plenty of warning signs specifically for this insane attack by a deranged individual. Past social postings, acquaintances just now admitting their suspicions from over the past year(s).

Why no preventative action? Plenty of these episodes could have possibly been prevented by simply reporting to the authorities suspicions well beforehand.

AMERICA IS UNDER GOD’S JUDGMENT ! Many know this, and terrible things will continue happening until this nation repents of our murder of the unborn, our production of pornography, and it’s export around the world.
Our IDOLATRY of self must end! Our God; iPhone, is now small enough to carry Him about: we can stare at Him in deep devotion, no matter where we are; with family, at school, while walking on the beach...
I thought, like ancient Israel, our judgment would present as military defeats (and this might yet happen), but it’s coming to us another way: our children are being murdered.
Do you think we’re better than God’s dearest, Israel? He will judge us, just as He judged them.
