Too many people in this country with good intentions parent with a hands off attitude. If you let the kid dress the part, they will act the part
Too many single parent households or households where both parents are working when the kids come home from school
Too many kids are taught to accept everyone, no matter what there style, what they like how the act, how they dress
Instead we should be teaching our kids things that could be a red flag. Its called street smarts. Tell a teacher or an adult if you think someone is acting threatening,or they are making you uncomfortable.
They interviewed kids after this shooting and they all said they knew he would do this
I am sure some of his friends knew he had a gun, knew he was unstable, knew it was him that made the YouTube video, but no one of them spoke out
How does the FBI who can get FISA warrants on false information not get a warrant to find out who the kid in the YouTube video was
Why didn't the school alert the authorities as to his dangerousness
Why was he let back on school grounds especially after being expelled from 3 different schools on three different occasions
It might be time in this country for public schools to go to a dress code so everyone looks the same,ban outlandish hair styles, make everyone on the same 0laying field so know one persons feelings get hurt.
Its time to have a serious conversation a out public schools and the security they use. Why are there no shootings in private or parochial schools?
I am sick of the lefts response to every shooting get serious because guns aren't going away. There are other amendments to the constitution that prohibit the taking of legally purchased goods that are later outlawed You can ban Assault Weapons but there are enough in circulation that you will never rid the country of them, nor should you want to because they aren't the problem

"I'm sorry but guns do not fuel these fantasies. "
And you'd know this how?
These guns don't perform much differently from other, more boring-looking guns. But the AR-15 is extremely popular. It's partly because of the look.
"Too many single parent households or households where both parents are working when the kids come home from school"
Agreed 100%. A hundred percent. My wife hasn't worked in 7 years, it has been a disaster for our net worth (most of our vacations are camping and we drive old cars), but I wouldn't do it differently. I was at a cub scour trip to a local fire station last night, and you could se these out-of-control 8 year-olds, whose parents could not stop them from behaving terribly.
"Why didn't the school alert the authorities as to his dangerousness"
Bingo. The school would not let this kid have a backpack, yet he was able to get an AR-15. That is insane. If we couldn't spot the red flags this kid was putting up, we aren't doing anything to stop anybody.
