Wouldn’t that just mean a shooter could find a position that overlooked the entrance way and fire into the queue of kids that would inevitably occur close to opening time each day and kill even more than going class to class?

Mowing down kids waiting for the school to open is what the “Don’t like Monday’s” shooter did

If there were two shooters in concert like colymbine they'd be able to massacre the entire school. One guy inside, one at the entrance.

What a bizarre thing to propose. Anything to deflect from the obvious issue.

Part of me agrees with him here: I do feel that the on going issues with atrocities within America is partly a social issue within American culture.

As said before, I find it incredibly perplexing how intertwined guns are in US society with examples being that they're often seen as a fashion item.

Then there's the whole second amendment, the NRA's lobbying power, people happy to 'open carry' and how the youth are simply indoctrinated.

I know it's often referred to but you can look at Switzerland as an example of responsible gun ownership, or even to an extent the likes of Canada.

Nevertheless, the ease in which people are able to obtain a firearm, including high-powered semi-automatics etc., certainly doesn't help at all!

I agree that there is a strong social component - for instance I’ve mentioned before that there seems to be some evidence that several of these school shooters are motivated by fame and not publishing their face/name might help reduce the copycat effects.

However I did find it depressing that something as basic as “safe storage and handling”, and ironically which the NRA used to spend a lot of its resources on, Patrick was so nervous of contemplating legal rules for.

If their opposition to the Parkland kids policy goals is so popular in their districts, why are Republicans so hesitant to voice it?
