I really doubt a thing will be done at the federal level untill the very tragic instance when a US federal lawmaker or two(republican) looses a young one to a nut job like today and past school shootings.
To get change or another to see your way one has to make it very important to them. at least it did in my past.
This will continue unfortunately and would not be surprised to see another this year. some are downright insane down there...and they can still access high capacity firearms somehow.

Average 6 per week, so this week most likely.
The attack marks the 89th shooting on K-12 school grounds in 2023, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.

Gun control is so bad in but the big problem is when an ex student returns to her Christian school a bigger problem may have existed there in the first place...

It continues to stand true.
Absolutely true. Nothing will change.
Americans love guns more than children, and are not willing to change.
I use to think of the as my friendly neighbour. That changed years ago.

Police department has released footage from two police body cams.
Cops go right into the school, no hesitation. Quickly searching room to room. They see the shooter, shoot her, then finish her off.
Excellent police work.

The horrifying part is just before they find her, they hear more shots, which mean only one thing. More innocent victims.

yes, in these situations, always blame the victims. Makes total sense.

Good to hear that at least something was learned from those Texas shootings. Do not hesitate.

Isn't it strange how many of these killers are Right Wing Fundamentalists and Religious fanatics, yet they love their guns. Guess they didn't read the part in the bible where it says: "thou shalt not kill". :-X

Actually, it's strange that this is the lie that a lot of Left Wing try and push, when it isn't actually true.

Yes but tell me again about "right wing fundamentalists" - what a pile of horse crap.
