Having a child in AMERICA worrying about getting shot at school, ultimately dying at a place to learn is incomprehensible. Edit: I find it sad how most of these comments are about where the shooting was. I posted this as a mother with kids in school. We all feel unsafe. Those children should be the only focus & changing gun laws. Kick rocks if you're here to debate about whether I said world or AMERICA.

THIS CAN BE STOPPED. Maybe we can't stop all mass shootings, maybe we can't stop all knife attacks, maybe we can't stop all crimes... but we can stop the obvious crimes, we can stop the needless deaths. We can make it difficult for these people to get any gun easily, we can make it where it is LEGALLY REQUIRED to store firearms such as long-guns (rifles, shotguns) in safes or in lock boxes to ensure these guns are not easily acquired. Long-Guns are SUPER easy to use when you know the basics, they do MORE damage, they get longer reach than handguns. No mass shooting is good. however it can be insanely worse... All police officers need MANDATORY training on long-guns to encounter these situations. Long guns are devastating... even more so than handguns. handguns are TERRIBLE self-defense weapons but they do the job... long guns however do it better, and thus in the hands of a active shooter make it easier to kill at longer ranges. We need to evaluate gun safety, gun requirements, gun handling AND evaluate PHYSICAL SITE SECURITY/SAFETY. Have locked doors that cannot easily be bypassed, have windows up higher so someone cannot simply jump inside without some effort, have internal doors that close or lock during a lockdown-in-place situation and can be over-ridden by Police/EMS/Fire during a evaucation. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY AND ABILITY TO DO THESE THINGS. The Government chooses to ignore them, and states ALSO ignore them, it's up to LOCAL entities to ensure the safety of children.

Here's my solution: The constitution is a bit outdated. A different era. A different time. If we want to protect our children then we have to change the laws around the country when it comes to background checks. A teenager shouldn't be allowed to purchase an assault rifle. Yes I love guns myself and I love recreational activities like going to the range or shooting at summer camp since I was a Boy Scout (A classic American organization I loved dearly btw). But the times are changing and many people are turning into lunatics because of hatred or even the fact that there lives suck so they decide to take it out on the world. I say law enforcement and the military should only be allowed to have firearms. I have never been so happy to be a communist until now. The Red Menace is superior the U.S. I mean you don't hear school shootings and mass shootings happening frequently in countries like Russia and China.

@@big_vart what would gun reform have done to prevent this? The only “reform” that could stop a crazy person from senseless murder is a complete ban on firearms. That’s not going to happen. And if somebody had it in their twisted minds to do something like this, no amount of gun control is going to stop them from obtaining a gun. Legally or illegally. If someone is under psychological care or on psychiatric medicine, then they shouldn’t be able to buy a firearm. Period. Other than that, “gun reform ” is just a buzzword for politicians. And reasonable people lap this up as a “cure all” for some reason. This murderous idiot could’ve just as easily waited in his truck until school dismissed and ran people over with his vehicle. Would you be screaming we need “vehicle reform” too? I’ve owned firearms since I was 13. That was 43 years ago. Not once have I even thought about pointing a gun at someone. Sick people do sick things. Wether it’s with a knife, a bat, a car, or a gun. What we need is mental health reform. We as a society have gotten way off the mark with diagnosing and treating mentally ill people. Combine that with overprescribing dangerous medications and you have a recipe for disaster. I would certainly agree with having new gun owners having to take a course and be evaluated on their proficiency with gun safety and the proper operation of firearms.

Writing from America…. when the legal document of “Rights” was written, including the “right to bear arms/well armed militia,” the weapon of choice was a musket with/out a knife at the end. Sadly, the NRA (national rifle association and it’s members/followers) over the years, have twisted the wording to include ANY weapon capable of shooting ammunition. But yes, you are right, members/followers of the NRA sadly choose to be able to keep their stockpiles of weapons rather than the fact that so many are being murdered by them.

Here's my solution: The constitution is a bit outdated. A different era. A different time. If we want to protect our children then we have to change the laws around the country when it comes to background checks. A teenager shouldn't be allowed to purchase an assault rifle. Yes I love guns myself and I love recreational activities like going to the range or shooting at summer camp since I was a Boy Scout (A classic American organization I loved dearly btw). But the times are changing and many people are turning into lunatics because of hatred or even the fact that there lives suck so they decide to take it out on the world. I say law enforcement and the military should only be allowed to have firearms. I have never been so happy to be a communist until now. The Red Menace is superior the U.S. I mean you don't hear school shootings and mass shootings happening frequently in countries like Russia and China. Stop praying and get things done, vote for people trying to make a difference and not stalling like the pathetic Republicans. These people don't care until it happens to their own families.

Sadly there isn't anything they really can do brother, banning guns does the same thing as banning drugs and mental health support only works on people who want to be helped

[@chill-lady-brook]

the problem is in toxic american gun culture. dont like something? go shoot something. thats how gun culture works in the us, and we all have to pay for it every day.

[@leostanley9924]

@@real_Donald_Trump i don't agree with that man. Australia and Canada banned certain type of guns immediately after mass shootings and now they merely see gun violence, if not ever.

Schools shouldn’t be this easily accessible anymore. Security perimeters are a must.

[@user-ny1rs1fq4h]

Parents need to be involved in their children’s lives and know what their children are doing. too many negligent parents think that it’s the school’s responsibility to raise and babysit their children. Schools are for education only, behavior must be learned at home. Teachers can’t even raise their voices at students without being sued.
