It'll be swept under the carpet in no time if whitey is to blame; if it's somebody of a different skin colour however, watch the media howl!
Like the Vegas shooter?FN2TypeR said:

Like the Vegas shooter?No real changes to gun laws of course; I'm sure that we can agree on something as preposterous as that not happening!

I don’t buy it, mass murder by anyone attracts pretty much the same amount of coverage. The press move on when something more juicy comes along.
There really isn’t a simple solution. It’ll be interesting to see what weapons this kid used and what laws were already in place to try and limit weapons in that state.
I really don’t think you can disarm the nation with legislation.

Well you can, but as you say it is [very] complex in the US. The relationship with the gun is deep seated and a political 3rd rail.There really isn’t a simple solution. It’ll be interesting to see what weapons this kid used and what laws were already in place to try and limit weapons in that state.

What if it's a white muslim convert?
Well, seeing as this this the N-teenth school shooting if 2018 it would make a refreshing change from it being a white American Christian.This isn't news is it? Just the price of living the life with the 2nd Amendment carved into marble post Sandy Hook. (I know...it is an Amendment)
The biggest tragedy is that the next one is just around the corner.

This is a deeply sad situation brought about by numerous factors not just the whole easy access to guns argument.
This is due to the way kids are brought up now where they are not taught how to deal with their emotions and the realities of life and that it can be unfair and unpleasant.
That coupled with lack of decent parental input and lack of control on guns understandably leads to these constant tragic school shootings.
How to deal with it is the bigger problem.
Banning guns is not the solution. Background checks and stricter gun control definitely is a step in the right direction however potentially this young man who is 18 would have been able to buy a gun/s due to being 18 if he was able to pass the relevant legal checks which would mean he would not be able to be stopped anyway.
I just find the whole situation sad. Kids should not have to suffer this sort of thing and nor should their parents. If i was a parent in the US i would fear sending my kids to school every day as they could become a victim in the next inevitable school shooting.

News, 19th school shooting THIS YEAR, he was an 18 year old former student, and is custody.
Extrapolate to end of year gives 165 school shootings this year.Doesn't really matter though. 165, 300, 500. Nothing gonna change, so the next 30 pages of this thread will be utterly pointless.
Their kids, their guns, their rules. Best not to dwell too much on it all really.
