People love their fu*cking guns. Price we all get to pay.

A 12th person has now died.

This isn't getting as much media attention as normal.  Weird.

I just turned on CNN and Fox and they were covering it. 

 

I hope your fake news post doesn’t seep into PPN. Our country can’t handle another emergency.

 

[Spirit]

I just turned into CNN, switch over to MSNBC and then Fox.  None of them were covering it. 

 

PPN doesn't deal in anecdotal evidence though.

So strange. I wonder why? Hmmmmm........

[Kevin]

It was on for several hours on CNN. Including news conferences and new evidence/facts that surfaced. Fox I checked once and it was on. I have no idea what channel MSNBC is and I’d like to keep it that way.

I read a USA Today article about the shooting. Other than these major media outlets, it's a bummer that no major media outlets are reporting it!

Fair enough.  Those five internet links does in fact show the tsunami of coverage paid to this event.

Wow

Honestly, I can't see charges being held up in court. His job responsibilities end at commiting suicide. There should be no expectation a person enter and area with heavy gunfire to put themselves in harm's way.

Nelson was trained as part of the district's concealed carry program and allowed to have a gun on school property.

Her grandson, whom she had brought to school, was left alone in the office with another first-grader, the daughter of Christine Scaffidi, the assistant transportation director.

When Scaffidi walked into the office minutes later, she saw the handgun out of its case on the desk and the children nearby.

"I'm assuming that the child picked up the gun from behind the desk and had been holding it," Superintendent Dan Freund said.

He should have taken concealed carry seriously

This reminds me of the young girl who got behind the wheel of a car this week and actually killed someone.

Am I right @st1ckboy?

I think I can get behind this one. The big question is what to do when an illegal alien with rap sheet tries to buy one in a sanctuary city or state.

Looks like Homicide and gun violence is down without bans

It looks like homicide by just about all means was down across the board.

The proliferation of guns in the US doesn't cut down homicide rates.

Of course not and it doesn’t it cause it to increase either
