People are generally very bad at assessing risk. American high schools are extremely safe. The back seat of an automobile is an exponentially more dangerous space. A kid given ibuprofen or Tylenol had more risk exposure. We absolutely need to address the problems here. But some reality based calibration is also good. 

It's like you don't see that this problem is only getting worse and not better? What is the number of deaths/incidents when your risk assessment changes to "ok, NOW we should probably do something"?

He’ll decide action is needed exactly the moment most other people decide it isn’t.

If what you purport was true, we would have red flag laws, universal background checks and safe storage laws. Instead you have fatty pos repping you both sides-ing common sense gun regulations. 

Haha. Your cuntiness is always good for a pick me up.  Get fucked.

Not sure how you get that from that post. There has been lots and lots and lots of discussion related to gun control measures on this board. In those I have supported a wide range of common sense gun control reforms.

Kids killed/maimed by lawn darts < kids killed by cars.   So let's do nothing.

Was it ever reported how the 14-year-old kid in Georgia was able to get an AR-15 into school undetected? Duffle bag or something?

Dude.  It's Georgia.  Land of MTG.  Pretty sure "AR variant" is on the "necessary school supplies for the 2024-25 school year" list in that state.  It was carried in via his backpack's built-in rifle sleeve.

honestly they break down into pretty small components if you pop out the two take-down pins that hold the upper onto the lower, I could definitely see it just carried in a duffle

So he leaves the classroom, presumably to go to the bathroom, goes and gets it out of his locker and assembles it in the hallway or the bathroom and tries to take it back to his classroom?

BTW, my kid is a junior in HS and they don't even have lockers any more.

Yes. Did you hear the account from his classmate? She said he left the room and she was by the door when he came back. The door was locked and she said she saw the gun so didn’t open it for him. Then she said he turned and fired off 10-15 shots. The kids in the classroom all ran and hid in the corner.

Yeah, thought that's what happened. Just wondering how you get an AR inside without anybody noticing. Maybe it was broken down and reassembled once he went to retrieve it like @Captainant theorizes.

Just got this email from my daughter’s school district. So you’ve got a guardian that’s so mind bogglingly irresponsible that they leave their bullets (and almost certainly the gun with said bullets) where the kid can just fucking pick them up and take them without you knowing? I can’t even begin to wrap my head around someone being that fucking stupid.

Separately, what the fuck kind of sentence is “further updates will be provided if additional details are revealed.”? There sure as fuck better be additional details, the very least of which better be an outline of exactly what steps were taken to investigate if there are additional bullets and/or a gun in one of 3 schools, when you have a list of exactly which kids were on the bus to each of those schools.

These are terrorist attacks, random, senseless and meant to strike fear. And one faction of our society and numerous special interests actively prevent “reality-based calibrations.”

Kemp ISD apparently shut down all schools today after an unconfirmed threat against multiple Texas school districts today.

One of the first comments under the Spurrier rant.

Hell, no GW didnt say that fucking shit. “include their own government”. You mean the President who put down armed and pitchforked citizen rebellions, as was his duty under the constitution, said that shit?!?

Can one of you X warriors set this mfer straight?!?

Depending on Spurrier’s business interests or financial needs, if any, he may be forced to apologize or clarify his statement. If some southerners hear that he is anti-gun or woke, he could potentially lose a lot of money.

both sides like to accuse each other of cancel culture but in reality they both do it.

The orange plastic tips on the ends of the guns. Those are air soft, no?  I understand the heightened threat past of the tweet, not so much the cache pics. 

There was a story a week ago of Florida sherrifs getting fed up with constant school shooting threats with parents not punishing the kids, so the sheriffs are resorting to arresting and perp walking the kid and sort-of processing them. The drug bust-style gun spreads are a part of the shaming for kids who threaten their schools. The image included in this article:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-11-year-old-arrested-sheriff-release-mugshot-rcna171437

The release came just days after the sheriff said he would start releasing the mug shots of students who are arrested for making school shooting threats; two teenagers and the 11-year-old child were taken into custody within the last few days.

"Since parents, you don't want to raise your kids, I'm gonna start raising them," Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at a news conference Friday. "Every time we make an arrest, your kids' photo is going to be put out there and if I can do it, I'm gonna perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid's up to."

On Monday, the sheriff's office announced the arrest of the 11-year-old Creekside Middle School student who allegedly threatened to commit a school shooting and had a "written list of people he claimed he would kill," authorities said.

The boy, of Port Orange, is accused of showing off "several weapons" during a video chat with friends and threatening to commit the shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School, the sheriff's office said in a news release. Detectives were alerted through Fortify Florida, which allows people to make anonymous reports of suspicious activity to law enforcement and school officials.

The sheriff’s office released the child’s name, mug shot and a video of him being escorted into the jail. NBC News is not naming the child or showing his picture because he is a minor.

Sheriff's office should release the parents' names.  

Honestly, I'm not opposed to re-instituting public shaming as a discipline device.

Unpopular opinion thread:

I know that the gun doesn't care how old its user is,  and I absolutely get why he needed to be taken into custody and charged. However,  that boy's booking photo should not have been released by the Sheriff's department, nor should it be on twitter- or here for that matter.

Yes, they appear to be air soft. Here's the Florida statute.  It's interesting that the use of a air soft gun by someone under 16 is prohibited, but apparently not the possession.  However, an adult is criminally responsible even if someone under 16 only possesses.
