Santa Fe is 8 miles from my town, I pass the high school everyday on my way to work. I know a teacher in the district and her son went to this school, he's safe.  

Local news was interviewing some students, one said it was a football player.  

Graduation is tomorrow....  

information is still coming in, so, everything is suspect right now.

What's WRONG with society that would create such a person that THAT'S what they have decided to do?

It's not a guns issue, it's a societal decay problem.

So, once we made conservative Christian attitudes something to spit on, here we are.

What we need is more
Inclusiveness
Tell little Johnny that he's precious and special, just because he's able to make a shadow.

Trophies for Everyone!

that's what authoritarianism causes, Christians forced their values on society, society fought back.

are Christian values superior and a good way to live, I'd say yes, but people have to be loved enough to be allowed to make their own conclusions about what life they want to live.

and I think you'll find, although yes, there are issues with the everyone is special and deserves a trophy method, that this kid, as other shooters, didn't think they were special at all, they thought they were hated by all, so this is how they got back, just my theory, I'm okay if you hate it.

and there is a Christian belief about everyone being special in God's eyes...  so you could at least be consistent, maybe look inside yourself, maybe you are one of the ones spitting on Christian attitudes.

Are you talking about a, ‘TV’ Show ?

Most certainly you cannot be talking about people,
that traveled to, lived in, settled and raised families in,
a new unsettled part of this country.
Who had a Code of Honesty, Integrity,
which was, ‘Once’, a Standard of this Nation.

Because to refer to a time period,
and a group of people that lived in that time.
In a negative way, as you implied.
Would Certainly Be  Bigoted and Racist..

And you most certainly would Not do that.

And, “… the solution?  More guns…”    
You forgot, “Good Guys/Gals with Guns”
BECAUSE, you will NEVER, EVER, remove guns,
                from, ‘Bad Guys’.

good lord.... help this MNSprings to bring his blood pressure down by not exaggerating every lil thing that offends him in the slightest into a grand design of evil against him and the world he thinks he inhabits.....  Edit: while still preserving his unalienable free speech right to call others "snowflakes" and not letting this obvious hypocrisy blow his own mind....
amen

"Almost immediately after the shooter in Santa Fe, Texas, was identified, someone set up a fake Facebook profile in his name, trying to portray him as a Hillary Clinton supporter, and linking him to antifa."

WHY are young people willing to go to school and kill people?
It's not the guns or bombs MAKING them do that. The idea that making a certain area
Off limits
For guns hasn't been successful.
So, what is wrong with society that is creating such angry young men?
How many shooters are girls?
How many?
WTF IS going on that is so pissing people OFF?
Find WHY it's happening.
Then the solution is much easier.
Hey, but that's just me.
I'm an idiot, right?

 I don't think there's enough information about this kid to make any accurate assessment at this time.

 I recall how everyone had answers to the Las Vegas shooter problem 10 minutes after hearing it on the news.

Because adolescent boys have little control over themselves.  Girls identify too much with creating and nurturing lives so they will only catch up with the boys slowly as year after year more women see role models go through our war machine.  For you Bible nuts, it's the "Reap what you sew" plan.

Every time one of these school shootings occurs, it becomes easier for the next kid to decide to do something similar. He merely has to follow the template that has already been established. The threshold for committing such an act has been lowered by each similar act that has gone before. Once the unthinkable becomes common it ceases to be unthinkable.

"In the day of Eric Harris, we could try to console ourselves with the thought that there was nothing we could do, that no law or intervention or restrictions on guns could make a difference in the face of someone so evil. But the riot has now engulfed the boys who were once content to play with chemistry sets in the basement. The problem is not that there is an endless supply of deeply disturbed young men who are willing to contemplate horrific acts. It’s worse. It’s that young men no longer need to be deeply disturbed to contemplate horrific acts."

The paragraph quoted above is from this article:

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/why-do-mass-shootings-happen-best-expla...

It's worth reading I believe.

I also believe the the real issue has almost nothing to do with guns. It has a great deal to do with a society that, for reasons that honestly elude me, is slowly going insane.

The link embedded in the article that I linked is pretty interesting too:
