Are the infos in the OP up to date?

So we have multiple shooters confirmed? Or just one?

And multiple dead victims, including children?

World School Shootings

Then there are still child soldiers and a host of other fucked up organizations.

I wish that I could say or do something to make this better, or undone.

No? Can people stop this already? It has nothing to do with guns, its people. Because you know..making something illegal tottaly stops people from doing/having it. Hows that working out for drugs?

Sad to hear that this was a father of a kid? I mean really? cnn reported only 2 adults died no kids?

So by this line of thought illegality is a non factor in everything?

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
I was feeling sad today... for no reason really other than alot of stuff happening. Now I'm really sad.

locking schools down? I don't get it, someone could just shoot through a window and do the same damage. I don't believe anything could be done to stop this. Bullet proof windows maybe? They would just wait into schools let out at 3pm

It's also fucking disgraceful that news stations are so eager to get a scoop first they often report unconfirmed bullshit

Glad the BBC stay out of that shit unlike sky news, never forget their classless Chilean Miner scoreboard

It does stand to reason that if something is harder/more expensive to acquire, it'll get less use. No one is saying they'd become impossible to get.

A lot of these people would simply choose a different weapon, but it would be less efficient, and hopefully wouldn't lead to the same horrific loss of life that has happened here.

I hate guns as much as anybody, but this happened today in China and has happened there before. My point is if you are a fucking nutcase it doesn't really matter your weapon of choice.

I can definitely a mass killing of children sparking a bigger, public discussion on the topic (which is absolutely a good thing no matter where anybody stands, because this is fucking problematic).

I've been following this story since around page 2 of this thread and it just keeps getting worse :( this is awful.

Edit: Holy Shit, 27
