    I asked in one of the threads if the gun was purchased legally. It was my first thought after reading the mothers posts about his mental health.

    That would have been law enforcement which can have guns.

    Clearly fake - according to the New York Post his mother's not even Chinese

    Terrifying journalistic bullshit from @nypost, which posted an article claiming that the shooter was a “Chinese man” (thanks @paulayoo for grabbing), then replaced it with a version that the shooter was “identified only as a white male” shortly thereafter — WITHOUT flagging the correction.

    Unfortunately, it is not practicable to have secret service agents for every student in America. Someone available to take out the shooter who is already present anyway is the best we can do.

    3D printers turn handguns into machine guns for as little as 40 cents
    Small 'Glock switch' is easily 3D-printed, and can turn handgun into a fully automatic weapon, federal officials warn
    By David Spunt , Jake Gibson Fox News
    Published September 13, 2024 4:17pm EDT

    A tiny, cheap device known as a "Glock switch" or a "machine gun conversion device" allows criminals to convert a handgun into a machine gun and unleash 30-plus rounds in seconds, federal authorities say.

    Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) are sounding the alarm about these devices, which can be made on a 3D printer and sometimes cost as little as 40 cents.

    ATF officials took Fox News on a tour of its National Service Center in West Virginia, where they demonstrated to journalists how these machine gun devices are illegally made and the devastating damage they can inflict.

    Glock switches are showing up at more and more crime scenes. They allow five rounds to turn into 50 with a simple click. These conversion devices account for the majority of illegal weapons recovered in trafficking cases, ATF officials told Fox News.

    An ATF report revealed that in the decade leading up to 2021, there was a 570% increase in the number of conversion devices recovered by local law enforcement.

    I wonder up to what caliber would that protect a person? Reminds me of that scene from The Wire when Omar goes into the store with a bigger gun to rob the package.

    You mean the mainstream media never points out the irony of the woke lunatics

    Let’s also remember womens rights should never include dudes

    What so hard to understand about

    Thou shall not infringe.

    If the govt goes around trying to take citizens guns from them there will be bloodshed that will be unimaginable to most. Communities will ban together against this. I know a few of these communities personally. Good people, but you ain't taking their guns.
