A country where conservatives think kids can't handle books about race, but they can handle guns.

Thanks for this news!

I’m terribly afraid that girl on life support may also die. So glad I went to school when I did.

The kids are terrified - the adults have failed big time - other animals protect their young.

If you think you're old enough to take a gun to school, you're old enough to be charged as a murderer.

By the way, how many people do you know that have an attorney on speed dial, and that's the first thing you think of when your kid has just killed and maimed people?

Was this the shooting in Michigan? Or Georgia? Or Maryland? Or California? Or New Jersey?
Or Illinois? Or Pennsylvania? Or South Carolina? I could keep going on and on. All this madness
happened in the last week. Fuck the NRA, fuck those gone nuts and their 2nd amendment free-
DUMBS. (btw they don't follow the whole 2nd amendment because these shooters are not part of
any "well regulated militia.&quot What about our 1st amendment rights to peacefully assemble?

How about a new law that says if you buy a gun and it is used in a mass shooting you go to
jail for 25 years? It is the guns. End of story.

14. This is so true. I woke up in the middle of the night and googled the shooting to see anything new.

It was sadly amazing how detailed I had to be to get the correct shooting.

This is Michigan where grown "men" (yes, I use that term loosely for these idiots) marched into our state Capitol building armed to the teeth.

they'll demand greater protections against guns.

When I watched parents who fought to keep children unmasked in school I pretty much lost hope.

15. Unfortunately, this means it meets the FBI classification of a mass casualty shooting.

Threshold is at least four fatalities, not including the shooter.

This is just difficult to comprehend. Can't wait to hear the father's lame excuse for why he bought the gun.
