Another very sad day in our history.

Sad that we need that type of survilllence to flag these troubled teens but it might be time.take away more rights like the Patriot act if not going to solve the problem.

And yet again Dads weapons are used, so what about the parents culpability is these situations? Time for stricter laws on storage and stiff fines or prosecution for parents that allow their “good kids” to go on a killing spree with dads guns.
Pretty sure the parents did not "allow" their good kids to go on a killing spree. There already are storage laws, reaction to these things is to make them stricter. That is being defensive but it does NOT solve the problem.
If you think your little Johnny isn’t capable, just listen to any of the after interviews and shock that parents seem to have after their boys go bad.
You forgot the third point to make.
The media and society needs to stop trying to be first to get the killers name out there giving them their fame. How about a law infringing on the first Amendment that calls for all reference to the killer as murderer instead of their name. Maybe then these evil freaks will have less motivation since they won't get the notoriety. Something to think about anyway. I don't have the answers to society's complicated problem here in America the land of the free and home of the brave.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
