Texas school shooting!

[youngestisapsycho]

Just watching on news now.. shocking!

Oh God.

And yet they won't change gun laws.

I've just seen the news

14 kids killed

Just heard it on the news.
Primary school.
Fucks sake.

Another one …. don’t forget to send your thoughts and prayers 🙄

Oh hell.

And all they’ll do is offer thoughts and prayers.

18yr old.. shot his grandmother before entering the school

It's sickening, something like the 49th mass shooting this MONTH.

How bloody awful.
If I lived out there I’d be terrified of sending my kids to school, definitely think I’d home school them.

Oh no, this is the first I’ve heard of it. 14 kids killed. That’s effectively half a school class. Sending love to all the parents, family and friends.

How can they not see they need to change their gun laws

14 kids killed

And a teacher.

Horrific doesn't begin to cover it. Those poor parents.

Just horrific my heart dropped when I saw the new alert

Whenever I see a news alert involving guns and schools, I think...America. Sadly, I was not disappointed this evening. What it it with the USA and guns and schools?

I remember when Obama said “Doing nothing is not an option”

And yet nothing has been done 😔

Yep lots of people on Twitter saying it's 'unimaginable'...nope sadly it is quite the opposite

Not again 😭 how many times are they going to let this happen?!

Usual story, there will be someone saying it's not guns that are bad, only people. They have the right to bear arms, blah, blah, blah. We have a lot of knife crime in the UK (true, but people are unlikely to kill 14 children at once). How can they live with themselves defending this when so many children are being killed.

I’ve wondered for a few years why so many children in US are homeschooled. Can only assume events like this are a big reason.
Hasn’t it been documented that when questioned later killers have said they’d not have sought another weapon if a gun hadn’t been to hand. Yet no one will ban guns.
Those poor families tonight.

How can it be unimaginable when it happens so often

It seems their right to bear arms takes priority over the rights of children not to be murdered in school.
I have visited The States a couple of times and generally find the Americans very friendly people, but it's so weird and scary going into Walmart and seeing guns on display for sale 😳😳

There’s a BBC article about it that says most US school shootings are in high schools, and in elementary schools they’re ‘most commonly accidental.’

In most countries they’re practically unheard of and that’s bloody well how it should be.

I hate the NRA and the constant primacy they give to the right to bear arms. Well what about the rights of little kids not to die at school?

They’re trying to ban abortion citing the right to life.

yet these kids have no right to life? Or more accurately, the right to own a gun is greater than a child’s right to life.
