Have you come up with any different or better ideas since then?

The better ideas should have started decades ago, but now is the time to act to prevent the next decades tragedies, which we all know is a gimme, is as American as apple pie

Must really be a rubik's cube for a foreigner to even begin to understand Americans' love with guns, hell, most of us can't figure it out, especially since most of those defending the inanity don't know either

Always seems to come down to the more guns, the more people who have guns, the safer we are, which is completely absurd given we have more guns than people and we are still one of the leading nations in the world when it comes to gun deaths

And here I thought MORE GUNS meant we are safer.

That's what gun nuts keep saying, anyway.

Time to arm teachers and staff. Should have been done a long time ago. Shooters will always target "gun free zones."

Why limit it to teachers and staff? At age 3yrs every child should have a gun. All armed all the time. Then shootings would 'never' happen.
And even if they did, they deserved to die.

Why bother?

It's a political discussion board and people generally come here to discuss ideas.

What a moronic post.

And the kids too, don't forget the kids, they got trigger fingers too, although then you would have to upgrade the teacher doing playground duty so that he/she doesn't get overpowered

How about arm yourself, then do us all a favor and pull the trigger.

A teacher at the school told the Miami Herald that Cruz, 19, had been identified as a potential threat to fellow students in the past. Gard says he believes the school administration had sent out an email warning teachers that the student had made threats against other in the past and that he should not be allowed on the campus with a backpack. Another student interviewed on the scene by Channel 7 said the student had guns at home.

“We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him,” said math teacher Jim Gard, who said the former student suspected in the shootings had been in his class last year. “There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus.”

I've seen the shooter identified as an ex-student and 19 years old which would be old for high school. Yet it sounds like he still came around the school. Not sure if public school can ban kids from campus, not that banning someone would prevent them from doing this.

No but placing barriers to his access to guns might have

Nah, I don't need a gun, ain't a girlee man, and if I did myself in I'd miss all the entertaining inanity persons as your self post

What would have stopped this kid from getting a gun? Do you know how he got his gun to begin with?

Oooh...oooh!

Maybe if we PRAY hard enough and THINK about it hared enough, GOD will solve the problem and our children will stop dying in a hail of bullets.

THAT's your solution?

We can start by being honest. The 2nd amendment doesn't state every American has the right to carry a gun.

But Americans will NEVER accept that truth.

[crowonapost]

What a moronic post.

Why? Be specific.

That so rarely happens that to even posit that has become a running joke. ESPECIALLY on this subject.

We can also profile, stop and frisk every white boy and man in America and either kill them or confiscate their weapons.

It's what they do to Blacks.
