So a student at my daughters school was arrested for bringing a gun to school today.

It was unloaded but rumor was they had ammo with them. Another student turned them in.

Fvck.

Did you beat the shit out of the parents?

They are withholding the name.

But I’d like too.
Edit: if they carelessly left the gun out or ignored problems with their kid.

School is continuing and my daughter said she didn’t need to be picked up or wanted to miss class. So I don’t know if she knows the kid.

I’m not sure.

It’s Texas so.....

To me this is a basic common sense type regulation. Kid takes a gun to school, you lose that right it’s up to the owner to decide if or when or how to secure the gun(s).
I’d bet even in Texas there would be an overwhelming amount of support for this.

The simple fact your kid gets your gun and takes it to school should automatically remove you from the list of "responsible" gun owners.

The types of gun control I have thought of implementing.

-Raising minimum age to 21 for all firearms
-Mandatory training and licensing course for all initial firearm type purchases
-Mandatory laws for gun storage
-Liability if your guns are used in a crime
-Eliminate assault style rifles (won't stop some mass shootings, but tell me how the Vegas shooter was going to do his deed with a bolt action rifles and handguns)
-Eliminate high capacity magazines

On the mental health tip

-Greatly expand the access and affordability of healthcare in general, thus including mental healthcare

On School safety tip

-Find some basic and the least obtrusive ways to make schools safer without turning them into armed prisons. If they don't need armed prisons as schools in other first world countries, we shouldn't either.

None of those gun control measures would have helped. We have to focus in on changing the environment for children. Parental responsibility, chemical exposure, mental health wellness, stress reduction, denormalization of violence, and creating positive mentors at school. My understanding is this kid was constantly tormented by students and staff at the school.

Mandatory laws for gun storage wouldn't have helped? How did this kid get a gun then, did his father give them to him?

AR stands for Armalite Rifle not Assault Rifle. Per ammose.... er gun owner rules you may not comment about a weapon if you don’t know everything about it.

Ironically, your avatar is a pic of a bird, but the comment seems to be a little too high flying. I know that AR-15 is not Assault Rifle 15 but gun grabbers think differently and call them assault rifles.

Maybe or he knew how to bypass his father's secured storage.

So in other words none of those measures would have helped so long as we assume some facts you're making up? Either his father did not properly secure his firearms or he gave his 17 year old son a handgun, which I believe is a federal crime.

It would actually help if the media didn't give so much attention to these scum and filth, other lowlife losers see the all the attention they get and how known they become. Its also pathetic the gun control thugs are using the deaths of innocent people to push their agenda.

You mean the ‘stop killing our kids’ agenda?
Those assholes.

Fair enough, let’s make a deal. You start talking about gun safety actively and often. I’ll talk less about pos shooters.
I’ll agree once you concisely answer. Did the family do what is safe and responsible by not securing the gun(s)?

I have always supported gun safety, why would you want to talk about and help to glorify them?

The family was wrong for what they did, the guns should have been secured. That doesn't give you the right to attack millions of Americans.

Personally, nope. But armed officers on site were supposed to be big way to resolve these situations quickly and/or deter the shooter. They have failed twice now and 27 kids and teachers are dead.

Doesn't seem like a very good solution.

Not enough guns, obviously. :Colbert:
