Not the first shooter on the FBI's radar that ended up carrying out their plans. Lest we've already forgotten about the attempted assassination of a certain former president. The media sure has.

I think perhaps the FBI needs to be disbanded due to their outright ineffectiveness in dealing with these profiled potential shooters…. Or is there something more nefarious at play here?
 
I would like to see a research study done by a neutral party on what are causing mass shootings not how or how many are being done. Bring researchers from an university in Switzerland where they have their own gun culture so they shouldn't have a bias against firearms.

Study should include: education, nutrition, medication, parenthood, social pressures, etc.
 
How in the world in todays world does anyone sneak a rifle into a school? Is everyone blind these days?
In my line of work, I deal with a lot of the general public. Based on my experiences of observing and dealing with the general public, I can comfortably say that 2/3 of the people I deal with have slim to no situational awareness…. They look but don't see or they hear but don't listen. They quickly get worked up and begin to display a scatter minded, oblivious attitude toward the issue on hand. Some actually get verbally aggressive and are so far gone that they don't realize the obvious and view you ( me in this case) as the problem.

I definitely think that the mass dumbing down of the general public is on the rise. I am by no means anyone special, highly educated, or high IQ. But when I walk up to a door to a building that won't open and there is a clear CLOSED sign posted, I don't try to pry the doors open and attempt to force my way in like a lemming.

I see it with both sexes, young and old, and folks from different countries. It's really sad and pathetic. Don't expect much and do your best to be part of the solution and that's pretty much what I tell myself.

Least not forget the nut in Florida that brought us David Hoggs. Everyone across several states were warning the authorities. We were told, nothing to see here. Have a nice day.

The current version of most alphabet agencies needs to be rebuilt. They have more excuses than successes. Include TSA. I just flew through 6 Airports. One twice on the same day. Each time I got flagged for something different.

On a side gripe: Airport hotels need to be near the airport. If you have to take a freeway, you need to lose the Airport name from your hotel.

There have been a couple 'studies' done over the years but from what I have seen they all start with a premise and cherry pick the data to support their preconceived conclusion or they are the conspiracy theory versions of an Amway pyramid scheme and all you get is an infomercial video of some crackpot idea and in the end they try to sell you a pyramid hat made out of gen-u-wine Mayan iron :rolleyes:

JMHO but it's unlikely that we will ever get a GOOD study done because the odds are that neither side will like the results and fundraising is easier if you never actually fix the problem
 
I for one am happy with the LE agencies erring on the side they have been. If they swing the other way, they would be a lot more intrusive in our lives. Think, a lot more red flag type confiscating, etc.
 
Kids mental health was obviously bubblegumed a year ago when he said he was going to shoot up the school. Inadequate intervention and monitoring of him since. Seems like these kids that do school shootings there are lots of mental health warning signs and they are ignored. Even to the point of drawing the killings they want to do in school and teachers and counselors know about it. Why not pay attention to the mental health of those who are obviously at risk rather than focus on inanimate objects as the cause?
 
Can be bought out on the street, if he had the finances. Next thing we'll hear is this is a so called "ghost gun".
They are of course EASY to lay hands on if you have cash. A LOT of kids his age have a shocking amount of disposable income now. Sadly what so often happens is the parents will have bought the damn gun and kid had access. If that turns out to be the case the parents are going to need a good lawyer since they are going to be sued and the law will come after them as hard as the kid.

Along with who knows what drugs. Seldom do they want to admit it but, almost certain kid was pumped with drugs to "fix him".

I've noticed most if not all the recent school shooter were trans of some sort so I wonder if they are on hormone drugs. Hormones make people do crazy bubblegum.

Also like you say Fe if they are on anti depressants and stop taking their meds that can literally make them crazy.
 
Short of no firearms in the home at all, there is no end to what they will deem as "insufficient".
And this could be a potential possibility in the homes of where someone has previously been under investigation for similar threats, IE maybe a departure from 'safe storage' and move for 'confiscation'.

Disagree It'a not the guns fault. It's the kids behavior that is the problem. Deal with the kid and his behavior. That should include parents making guns totally inaccessible to the kid imo but no need to take away the parents gun. Just like taking away their knives or chemicals that could be used for a bomb. Deal with the actual problem, the kids behavior, is what I say.

If the kid made a threat he is going to take the car and mow people down, don't take away the parents car. Parents take action so he can't get the keys, get him weekly medical help with monitoring and let school know he is potentially dangerous Fe. If he it truly psychotic get him out of school or whatever it takes to deal with the behavior/mental illness.

I realize this. I wasn't arguing or debating 'fault'.

I am simply saying the antis could potentially move for removal or confiscation of guns in a house where someone lives who is under investigation for threats.

I mean they keep 'evolving' from one thing to another that has no effect so it could potentially be a new 'plan' of theirs.

Ah I see what you're saying now. Agee antis never want to deal with the criminal behavior (or even admit it is criminal behavior). They use it as an excuse to pass more gun laws and take people's guns.
 
So are we really down to taking guns away with no actual crime being committed or locking people up before they actually commit a crime?

Those can't be the only two choices we have

And on the chance it wasn't obvious ;)

All of the meds they push to "fix" the brain the people who make them and study them still don't know why or how they work. Its become a HUGE money making operation so its pushed hard. The people who are talked into being "trans" are of course having mental health problems already. So they are given drugs for that on top of the hormones. Every so often this cocktail of drugs sets of someone who already was in bad shape.
 
My wife, who taught middle school for 34 years says that, more than anyone, teenage boys are filled with angst and rage. They simply cannot handle their emotions when things get rough for them. Used to be if a guy was angry he'd beat someone up. Now, a gun comes into play.
There's a reason the Marines look for a certain demographic to carry a rifle: Young, male, and slightly pissed off. Describes my 13-18 year old self well and why the recruiters pitch appealed to me. I agree though... while I got into plenty of fights I never recall thinking that someone might pull a knife or gun. Never did the thought cross my mind. I just remember thinking that whatever you do, don't hit the ground because the punches will become kicks.

I'll take a kick over a bullet any day.

The first part is actually what Democrats are doing. Not hyperbole...
