Daniel is exactly correct. We need to empower more responsible adults to protect our children, as the Israelis did, not pursue the old, failed, fascist policies of creating more defenseless victims through "gun control".

Everyone was so cowardly they were afraid to attack the rampaging loon in any manner. The kids were like: heroism? What’s that? Such chauvinism went away with WWII! And the adults were like: not my yob, mon.

As a matter of reference:

The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–11 years of age[1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history and the third-deadliest non-military massacre in U.S. history, behind 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing.
The bomber was school board treasurer Andrew Kehoe, 55, who died in a car bomb he set off after he drove up to the school as the crowd gathered to rescue survivors from the burning school.
On the morning of May 18, Kehoe murdered his wife by beating her to death, then set his farm buildings afire. As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many schoolchildren. Kehoe used a detonator to ignite dynamite and hundreds of pounds of pyrotol which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his fragmentation-filled vehicle with his Winchester rifle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During rescue efforts searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school’s south wing. Kehoe apparently had intended to blow up and destroy the whole school.

The video games programming this young man’s head did not help.

If virtual reality can be successfully used to deprogram PTSD by the military it can be used to program evil actions as well.

This courageous woman saved 50-100 lives with her gun. We need more like her guarding our schools:

It takes a gun to stop a man with a gun. ...

There is no going back to a time before people owned guns.

True but irrelevant.

Before guns the only way to stop a man with a sword was with another weapon.

It would be more accurate to say that the only way to stop violence is with more violence. Weapons are only incidental to the question.

In almost all of these cases, the shooting ended when someone (besides the shooter) came into the building with a gun.

I created this image in 1/2 hour using Google Images and MS Paint. Anybody can do the same. I suggest that this approach be taken to counter the coming firestorm against firearms. If you can't make an image, at least copy and share the ones you find.

Hollywood and the MSM created these monsters, and now Hollywood and the MSM will blame the tools, not the cultural wreckage they wrought. Let's turn the focus back around where it belongs.

Liberal judges: stop cleansing the Christian culture from America! You are setting us up to be the slaughterhouse named Mexico and oppressive zoo named the soviet union.
