Cue the Anti-AR15 Crowd in 3, 2, 1.....

Do you think the media will give this as much coverage since early reports indicate a shotgun was used?

It will get just as much coverage. The media loves dead children.

Update: death toll is now 9 students and one teacher. Suspect is custody, a 17 year-old student.

Not to dismiss the tragedy, but I'll be interested to hear the discussion quickly drop the "assault weapon" term and steer directly to "guns" in general.

Why do you need an AR 12 Guage?

To soon. Still working on thoughts and prayers. Give me some time, it's still to soon.

On a side note, how'd I miss this?

Not even close to "too soon" for all that. Don't worry, the onion has you covered.

So I notice all the gun control advocates are screaming at Trump to "do something".... but not one of their wants would have prevented the Texas school shooting and would only have hurt law abiding citizens.... that is all.

well, first of all, I'm calling #Fakenews. Those high school kids in Parkland guaranteed that this wouldn't happen again. They even had rally marches and spoke at the capitol, remember?

They forgot about the doors I guess.

From the link you posted:




Howcome there haven't been any shootings in Idaho or Wyoming, where I'd estimate the majority of the residents own guns?

Looking at that map I can't help but notice the school mass shootings are much heavier in the states with the strictest gun laws... just saying....

Denser population. I'd argue Utah's killing epidemic is teen suicide not mass shootings. Personally I think the intermountain west is a great place to live, less crazies, that might be a factor too.

Every time I travel to California to visit I basically want to go on a mass shooting spree because of traffic. I don't get that feeling living here.

Great. I have to drive to California this weekend. Thanks for that.

Yeah... No. These people define "Mass Shooting" as ant incident above 1. They call a Murder-suicide a Mass Shooting.

In other attempts to skew the numbers by horribly twisting the definitions, "School Shootings" have been counted up, including BB Gun shots. Yes, air rifle, Daisy, Red Rider, BB Gun shot incidents. They are also calling it a School Shooting when NON STUDENTS, like a 31 year old male, is living in an apartment on campus, and gets shot. THAT is a School Shooting. They are calling an accidental discharge of a handgun, a School Shooting. Nobody was injured, but it counted as a School Shooting.

It sounds cliche, but you just can't trust certain sources.
