(21,646 posts)Unless it's stolen or he bought it hot , the gun is probably coming from the home .
Gun safes ?i I remember the Parkland shooter got the key. Nothing's working to stop this at schools
25%!of these shootings at schools with youth shooters
Now the % could be higher since I heard that statistic considering how 2018 has added more tragedies
I just got home and heard about this and i have school age kids . I am sick to my stomach how the parkland survivors who choose to be activists are treated and how many want them stopped but not the guns. Look at the moron who showed up with a gun and a flag at the shooting. These people will not budge to save young lives

And they have an 18 YO in custody that CNN is reporting to be an accomplice.
18 is the legal age. He's 17.

(21,646 posts)Hispanic but they never classified it as a hate crime even though that young shooters media had references . It does nt matter in the fact that a lot of young have lost their lives no matter it's a tragedy, but if this is the case it must be looked in to as a hate crime as well considering his clothing alone

(45,250 posts)School shootings and mass shootings are a problem. Easy access to guns is a problem. The fact these are always white males is a problem.
But it's a myth to think we're relieved to find out it's another angry white male. That doesn't stop the racism against POC or Muslims (or Muslim-colored). It just guarantees that there won't be any changes to gun laws.
If it were a black person, more police. If it were Muslim, travel ban. If Latino, build the wall. If white guy, thoughts and prayers.

Shooter had a Nazi Iron Cross on his jacket.

Plus the shooter followed trump,melania,ivanka and the WH on IG.
Pretty sure if you are a fan of Dana Loesch,youre also a trump supporter.
