#1 Leftists already blaming NRA and lack of "universal background checks" whatever they are.

#2 17 yrs old arrested and another "person of interest" sought. Pipe bombs and pressure cooker explosives found(?). We need background checks on pipe

#3 Once again, we must know all the details about how the shooter got his hands on the gun. More and more often we are finding that someone in law enforcement or somewhere in the government dropped the ball, sometimes in highly suspicious circumstances.

Ahem,...parents?
Who didn't know associates, what they were talking about, what they were buying, what they were storing, where.

Seems like charges of manslaughter for 'homicidal neglect' is applicable somewhere.

#7 [sarc] Well, "gun controllers" look on the bright side he didn't use more than 10 shots! [sarc off]

Piers Morgan already bloviating how "thoughts and prayers" didn't do the victims any good, so I guess CA or IL level gun laws will fix everything. Oh, wait ...

#8 I read reports that a substitute pulled the fire alarm to get people out. Seems to me sending a crowd of kids into the hallways when the shooter had a sawed-off shot gun could have turned into a nightmare quickly.

Just a matter of time before a school shooter pulls the fire alarm and hits the crowd coming out the doors.

I hope schools have thought over this sort of thing.

#10 There were several other attempted attacks that were stopped the past two weeks that were stopped.

There aťtackers are loving all the strife they are causing amongst all of the adults.

#11 Time for some "Cruel and Unusual Punishment?" Just as a deterrent, mind you.

#13 Weapons: Shotgun. 38 revolver. Belonged legally to the parents.

2 police resource officers there one critical wounded, and one random patroller. Status unknown. But apparently they were known and targeted.

So lefties, shut the F up about assault weapons, semiautomatic weapons, and gun control. Ankid with his dad's shotgun and a revolver did this. It's not the weapon. Its not the gun laws. Get that into your thick heads.

This is a school security problem. Limit access, arm and train staff on a voluntary basis for concealed carry. Single point of entry with an armed presence at all times.

#14 FYI; Facebook account shows Atheist, communist insignias, iron cross, but no other red flag items. Watch the news push this aside as fast as they can, it doesn't fit their agenda, and indeed invalidates it regarding assault weapons as the problem.

Shotgun and handgun are superior at CQB and room clearing. I was wondering when one of these mad assassins would figure it out. AR15 wrong for CQB. The Florida used "assault weapons" and killed far fewer. Makes the entire Assault Weapons Ban irrelevant, and shows just how incorrect it was.

#17 Perhaps the way to stop these school shootings is not to ban guns but to ban schools.
