I guess we just expect this nowadays though

 

[Adam]

That is awesome!

False flag.  The government set this up to take our guns away.  I am putting on my tin foil hat now.[/sarcasm]

POLICE SOURCE: Shooter dressed in all black w AR-15 and vest and helmet. Cornered in bathroom by officers.

 

No longer an active threat.

Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office statement:

 

"The shooter is confirmed deceased."

[TobiasFunke]

Was he another "Patriot"?

We are doing a great job of parenting our children as a nation!

Hence no longer an active threat.

Nowadays parents expect schools to parent their children

[nando714]

Just a everyday occurrence these days

[TobiasFunke]

This is the 74th school shooting since Sandy Hook happened - 18 months ago.

[Blarg]

Nowadays parents expect schools to parent their children

 

As long as they never discipline them or say harsh words to them.

[Blarg]

Ahhh, the good old days.

 

September 11, 1909: Gravette, Arkansas, John Butram, an unruly student at the Bear Hollow School announced to his fellow students that school is canceled. The teacher, A. T. Kelly insisted that the day's lesson was not over. Butram then drew a knife on his teacher, so the teacher drew his gun and shot him.

Is there a reason people need AR15 rifles? Oh, that's right...it's their God given right to own them. Or so they say.

[Blarg]

Or Dynamite?

Man you post some dumb shit.

 

Since Sandy Hook there have been 75 school shootings.  How many dynamite attacks have there been?  I will give you a hint, it is zero.

That made me chuckle Nate.

Nate, don't try and be too smart in a subject you are not too smart about. Regurgitating someone else's post doesn't create a point of your own.

 

The greatest amount of human destruction on a school campus was one disgruntled clerk that decided to place dynamite under the premises. The death toll would have doubled or tripled if his second cache of explosions had triggered.

 

There was no internet back then, no CNN getting their facts wrong with 24/7 coverage, there was no tweets or facebook pages updating the mood of the moment to keep the story alive. It happened, it was reported on in the paper and not even on a nationwide basis and went away from the publics conscious. No one felt compelled to rack up a similar death toll because the story wasn't sensationalized by politicians trying to keep their jobs.

 

Now, spin forward 100 years and you have at your fingertips a number that you can't even parse what happened in those individual events (whether the shooting involved victims or property) and spew it out like someone stumping for office and demanding the proliferation of guns be removed from society because that is the cause of this. Inanimate objects do not create death tolls.

 

Guns were easier to obtain 30-50-100 years ago and yet the number of shootings on campus per decade doesn't come close to the present. What changed, Nate?

[fan_since79]

Reading the details of the 1927 Michigan school bombing and the background of the killer, it's apparent that he was a very evil man.

 

You can't legislate against evil. It's been with us since the beginning.

I have no need for an AR15 right now but I am considering adding one to my earthquake/disaster preparedness kit.

Your last sentence is irrelevant.  There are millions more guns now than there were 30-50-100 years ago.  All because the US is still in the stone age when it comes to gun laws.

[Schildog]

And to further Eric's point, life and society has remained the same since that dynamite explosion.

[nate]

By the way the whole guns for protection shit that you all regurgitate every time this comes up isn't supported by facts either.

 

Even though the police force was more sparse, and much of the country was lawless, there are more gun deaths per capita now than there were when guns were easier to get.  There were also significantly less guns overall.  So more guns in the hands of civilians has lead to more gun deaths.  Imagine that?

[Jay]

Lots more gang bangers that's for sure.  They can all kill each other for all I care.
