This. And they are — this is a generation so already warped by tik tok and all the other socials — even the best of them now have such a squirrelly bent they just frighten me

"That rumor hasn’t been substantiated."

I would say that the selfie "he" took while wearing a dress and stockings is pretty good "substantiation".

‘Elite’ Border Patrol agent credited with killing Texas school mass shooter | Washington ExaminerLINKS

Beyond the gunman, officials said at least 21 people were killed, including 19 children and two adults, and several others were injured and transported to hospitals for treatment. A second law enforcement official who tried to engage with the shooter was also injured, but not badly, a law enforcement official told the New York Times.

Great idea. Push gun control during an election year. These idiots really want to lose control of the house and senate.

If those pics are legit, then three guesses which excuse LE and/or social services used to allow the perp to run amok...

And you won’t need the last two.

We do need to do something to stop this from happening.

My position is that these sorts of shootings started happening back in the 80s when they ended the mental asylum setup. If you look before then, no one went out and killed dozens of people whom they didn’t even know. Obviously, I may not have all the facts here, but it seems that after they ended psychiatric hospitals these incidents began to occur more frequently. ALSO, it seems that the rise of psych meds like Prozac started roughly around the same time. Could it be that these sorts of shootings mostly occur with shooters who have gone off their meds? Seems likely to me.

The fact that these two factors are not _ever_ topics of this mass-shooting conversation tells me that the government knows that this is what is happening and are trying to use these violent events as leverage to pass laws against protected rights, and law abiding citizens.

““We need to vote. We need to hold every member of the Senate accountable. Every one of us should be put on the record,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), the chairman of Judiciary’s Constitution Subcommittee,”

The esteemed (sarc) senator is right. We need to hold a vote, record every member’s stance on this, and then vote the ones who are in favor of more gun control out of office. They should also be tarred and feathered. Not joking.

That's the common denominator in ALL of these cases. And too many of these cases are occurring while undergoing or after speaking with a therapist of a sort.

I think any inkling of violence by a therapist should send the therapist to web sites that patients have.

The democrats have dozens of bills sitting on the shelf gathering dust just waiting for the right time. As long as their is no electoral integrity, we have no viable republic. The Dems are going to run rough shod over us as they wish.

“Where’d the body armor come from? And the. weapons! The $ to buy? The practicing/range timer? Who are the parents?”

Critical questions for critical thinkers...not exactly the Dems wheelhouse, IMO. They prefer to exist on emotional energy so no thinking is required...just follow their lead.

“We need to do something,” said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.)

Washington usually does the wrong thing for the wrong reasons and makes every situation worse. It’s always more about wanting to give the appearance of doing something while not really doing much of anything to correct a problem they themselves caused.

Guns are inanimate objects and as such must have an operator to function. The problem is not the gun, it’s the operator. Nut jobs like this guy in Texas don’t just suddenly appear, they are known by various people and organizations to be nut jobs. The usual aftermath of these situations is for the people/organizations who knew about this individual but did nothing to go into self-protection mode. If all the blame can be laid on the inanimate object then no one gets fired, sued, or have their funding cut.

If only Texas gun laws prevented Oswald from buying a gun.....

They will never stop the madness of trying to disarm virtuous citizens, and allowing infanticide.

Make em pound sand.

With the vote fraud in control, they have nothing to lose or fear!

I agree. If they are real, not yet confirmed.

Yes, we need to providd the same armed security we have at all levels of government not a stuoid gun free school zone sighn. I believe the schools have been setup without security so the denonrats have an excusd for gun control. Arm the reachers.
