School shooting this morning

[mikec]

They're saying he shot his way into the school now. Shot a window out or some such.

Yep, heard the same.

My Mom was pretty emotional yesterday evening. Texted me saying that we HAD to homeschool Carpenter (whose only 10 months). But the moment I bring up that I'm armed she was all about how a man with a gun did this. Nothing about the character of the person carrying the gun. Or the fact that I'm an Army vet with years of handgun and rifle training.

I ended up telling her she should wait to discuss it next week when we see each other. I thought my Mom was a bit more pro gun than that but I think her emotions got the best of her. My older sister is a paramedic and very anti gun. I kinda understand her stance since she see's a lot of gun wounds on a daily basis. On the other hand, my younger sister is a nurse and has multiple shotguns.

My wife and I went to Cabelas last night and bought our son his first rifle. We stould in line for more two hours. I bet thier was 100 people buying guns.

I think a lot of people will respond this way, for different reasons. Either they immediately want a weapon for protection, or they fear that the over-reaction by our "government" will limit their ability to do so. Scary stuff. My Smith and Wesson stock stunk for years until our current regime took control. Still not good, but it's done a lot better since '08.

Have we gotten any credible news yet other than a nutjob killed some innocent children in a school and then killed himself?

What do you mean exactly? Credible details about the shooting? Or credible news in other events?

Details about the shooting.

Details about the shooting.

not much to say except the guy obviously planned to kill his mom and then shoot up a school. he was messed up in the head and noone really knows why except the shooter himself why he did it.

So it's safe to say there weren't two shooters? The guy in the woods was just some random creep?

Can you imagine how fast that killed his erection?

[SMKR]

Details about the shooting.

Will have to wait on future press conferences which will yield more facts. Most recent fact was he busted his way into the school.

[The King]

Can you imagine how fast that killed his erection?

He was probably just out there smoking weed.

Apparently. No more has been mentioned about that guy.

That guy was evidently cutting firewood, based on what I gathered from the popos statement awhile ago.

Bad timing on his part
