    Yet, you support politicians who's only solution are more thoughts and prayers.

    Damn... I'm been to this mall several times. Very good mall with a good setup --- 7.5 on a 10-scale.

    Yep, not far at all

    Seems Texas has half of these mass shootings

    A female mass shooter has gotta be a 1st.

    I can’t remember one before now at least

    for a teenager to get to the point where they’re willing to kill several people

    I don’t even want to imagine what kind of fcked up headspace they’re in

    Admins might as well sticky this thread cause it's the one constant in this sub forum with little hope of change.

    3 dead kids, 3 dead adults. Shooter dead.

    This is one area of our culture where the "long arch of history" is bending away from justice.

    It's frustrating knowing we won't do anything to stop this stuff when we have the power to.

    Yep, just the same old garbage, same old arguments. The reality is that no one cares to do anything about it because they are too busy walking that fine line to avoid pissing off voters.

    I wish we would get rid of 2A.

    Imagine calling yourself the greatest country in the world and saying the biggest threats you face are from transgenders and democrats when you are the only country in the world where kids are murdered in school on a regular, no longer shocking basis?

    Private Christian school is not immune to American unique gun culture. Eventually, those who prioritize guns over the safety of 'the other' children will need to reconsider their values. I have to believe that they value the safety of their own children over their guns.

    Mr Moderator,

    How could we have stopped this shooting? Did she slip through a background check loophole?

    I don't know of any politician that has the stones to call for an end to the 2nd amendment but that's what its going to take .... to eventually... (decades or centuries) rid this country of gun violence rates unseen in the rest of the oecd.

    Anyone who doesn’t believe we need much stronger gun control is sick.
