Nope. He made a general statement (labelling people liberal) and I made a general reply.
You are only an apologist for them...
It is because you are delusional. In this forum, people jump to label someone "liberal" about 10x more than the opposite. Additionally, there is no liberal party in the US, since the democrats are middle/right. At least conservatives EXIST in the US, considering both parties are further ot the right of even the conservative parties of other first world countries...
I think parents should be responsible for the actions of their children in the same manner that dog owners are responsible for their dogs.
Would you support that?
How was this possible in the first place? Aren't schools "Gun-Free Zones"? There should have been no way for the kid to take a gun there, since they aren't allowed.
How about schools and parents stop the bulling?
Guns are not the problem.
Bulling is the root cause of the majority of these school shootings.
I have no problem with this, but it will never happen.
Could you imagine the bellyaching we would get if we held parents liable for the delinquency of their children? The thefts? The assaults? Gang violence?
I'm assuming you aren't wanting to single out gun owners as being more liable than other parents... :sly:
Bullying is a part of school life. We can work to minimize that, but short of having everyone march like they do in North Korea, kids will have their moments where there are bullies and there are nerds and other cliques.
I think what kids need to learn is that grabbing a gun to shoot up a school isn't an option, and that no matter how bad their troubles, it will never be an option. 99% of people behave well, but it's the 1% that screw up that ruin it for everyone. Get a grip.
So gun free zones don't worked and armed guards in schools don't work. Guess we just throw up our hands.
Something should be done, I would suggest public service messages warning parents to keep firearms out of reach of their children. Also school staff should be trained to spot emotionally compromised children so that they can be given counseling before they snap.

You missed my point. I am simply stating that sometimes kids figure out work arounds, no matter how hard the parents try and secure things. And we still don't know exactly how it happened. Human minds are just damn dangerous sometimes. What may seem secure in one's mind, may be easily violated by another mind.
Yes, the event is nothing but tragic!
Actually, not quite true. NY Law now makes schools responsible for policing bullying of their students on social media sites. If a student feels he or she is bullied & brings that in to the school, the staff cannot say, "bummer, but that happened out of school, we're not getting involved." The school now has the responsibility to deal with the matter. http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/07092012cyberbullyingThat is true, bullying is a part of school life for SOME students. Usually they are the easy mark and have perhaps been enduring some bullying for most of their student life.
And now with social media, they are bullied in front of the whole world.
But of course the school doesn't want to bear any responsibility, they are too busy worrying what kids are doing in their own time and off school property. Schools should fix what happens under their noses first.

Looks like we have yet another shooting in a liberal state.
Maybe if liberals were responsible with their guns we wouldn't have this problem.
After all in the gun-mecca of Texas they have stabbings instead since conservatives know proper gun safety ()
You made a reply supporting his assumption, trying to justify it.
An anti-bullying video allegedly shown to the 12-year-old shooter at Sparks Middle School is being suggested as the inspiration behind his deadly shooting spree.
Amaya Newton, an eighth grader at the Nevada school, says the boy was often mistreated by fellow students and that the video showing a bullied girl retaliating with a gun in the days before may have "gotten into his head."
"She brought a gun on the bus to scare them and threatened to kill them," Amaya told MyNews4 of the video allegedly shown at school. "It was an anti-bullying movie but it could have gotten into his head about the girl scaring the bullies with the gun."
