White female. Allegedly a former student at the school (according to the police chief).

There always seems to have been signs that the shooter was in bad shape and possibly dangerous mentally but people just chose to ignore the signs or not want to get "involved". I don't have the answers, I just know it's hurting us for this to happen over and over..
A 9 yr old article from of all sources, "The Onion"? Did you check TMZ too?‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
ISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded...
Here is your answer- reduce what is a legal 'arm' with respect to guns down to revolvers that hold 5 bullets or less. Or revolvers that are .38 or smaller.
Nobody does it seems and all that can be offered right now is prayers and thoughts, not that they do very much. If real change was going to take place relating to guns then one would think it would have been Sandy Hook that spurred that change. I do not agree with golfer about his take on what should be done, but I do agree with him that something needs to be done.
This isn't even an attempt at an "answer". It's another one of your pathetic trolls to steer the conversation towards a 4 page debate on your personal ideology.
I liked your post because I fully accept that my comments are not popular and you said something needs to be done.
You said this is hurting us over and over and dont have an answer. I provided one- restrict gun access while still keeping guns legal. That would, in my mind, reduce gun violence because it would be more difficult to get a gun and it would be more difficult to kill many people at once.
Something like you say here is the only answer. When folks get to arguing, that's what it's about. Restricting the size of the magazine or whatever.
First, let me say thank you for your kindness in response. I will agree with Baseball that is not the time to steer anything towards anyone's own ideology. That does nothing but create more problems than it solves. I would also say calling the gun rights folks simpletons if they do not agree with you is probably not going to bring the solution anymore in sight.
Well, I have plenty of guns, hunt, shoot, etc. and I'm ready for a change. We are clearly missing the part about "well-regulated" and I am also not part of a "militia". People will not give up anything for the good of others. The idea of self-sacrifice for the good of others is just lost on many, and I'm not perfect on that mark either. Perhaps the saddest part is that all of these self-proclaimed "alpha males" are anything but. They are too chicken **** to even go to a retail store without strapping...
The things is, background checks and things like waiting periods ARE something we are all behind. Depending on the study, anywhere from 70-80% of Americans (both left and right) support those kinds of simple steps. But the NRA has paid off a lot of rightwing politicians to oppose passing any sort of legislation that would implement those kinds of common sense policies.
A simpler thing to consider: classify as Class III weapons those guns and gun accessories that you want to limit - just like automatic rifles, cans, etc. - and require the stamp which would necessitate fingerprinting, a background check, LEO consent, registration of the gun to the buyer, and payment of a stamp tax. The law and regulatory structure is in place, so this would be easy to do. Those of you that own a can, short barrel, or a full auto know the process. It's not that big of a deal. The genuine collector can still acquire the gun he or she wants, but maybe, just maybe, this process for legal ownership may prevent the crazies and the sickos from getting guns with significant rapid kill power.
No "party" has done anything to improve the health in this country. Lobbies are too strong.
Uh, one party passed landmark legislation that, while not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, demonstrably improved access to healthcare for millions of people in this country. The other party has spent the last 15 years throwing a hissy fit about that fact.
She was trans "identifying " as a guy. The story will quickly disappear.
Look at what happened to Australia after the gov't confiscated the citizens guns. It didn't work.
I’m all for tougher background checks but no conservative who believes in the 2nd amendment is going to agree to that unless dems quit saying they want our guns.
I understand this sentiment, but there are estimates that there may be close to 400mil "unregistered" firearms in this country. Further regulating the sale of firearms at this point will have a small impact now and a great impact in years to come, but I think it will decades before it has a noticeable impact.
If you really cared about children dying over and over again you’d be way more upset about Chicago and way more often than you would about school shootings.
Wearing a ccw to the grocery store makes someone chickenshit?
Both sides. That’s why term limits are so badly needed. Fair amount of time to have some type of career but not longer than 16 to 24 years.
And that’s mental illness. No matter how you look at it.
Man the guy is super conservative but hates trump and all current conservative ideas.
Correct and history has proven giving up your right to defend yourself against government or other people is a bad idea.
