Why no action from all the other ones?

The person involved was a biological male who identified as a female. Very angry person. Wanted to kill children.

Surely eventually some action might be taken to prevent or reduce the likelihood of more school shooting?

Just horrific

They don't give a shit

"Arm the dolls" indeed..... horrendous levels of mental illness in the US atm

Just looking at the picture of the shooter! Mental illness? What is going on that young people feel the need to kill their peers in mass shootings.

They have been 268 mass shootings in the USA this year.

Americans love their guns more than they love their children.

There never will be any action, because they cannot comprehend being not able to arm themselves against the threat of guns.

A catch 23, driven by their insanely high rate of gun ownership and number of guns in the country.

As to why do they do it… anger and notoriety. Killing children is the worst thing they could do, so they target them.

Apparently it's 'easy to ban assault style weapons ' according to article

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cly22nkpz8gt

In 2023, there were 46,728 firearm-related deaths in the USA.

Seriously thats awful 😖

Again, wow, what a statistic. I guess not enough to want to change things though.

I saw a tweet years ago that said the gun debate ended with Columbine - once it was deiced that that was acceptable collateral it was clear that nothing would change

nope, I got it wrong. it was this

"In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over." — Dan Hodges.

The American NRA will undoubtedly claim that, ' the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.'

But I've always thought, what about a law that stops the bad guy getting a gun in the first place?

On a side issue, im pleased the police are referring to the shooter as a man. Yesterday the BBC online article said the shooter was a she. I wont reproduce that nonsense here, typical BBC though. Its a bloody biological male. Most shooters are male, not all, but the vast majority.

This person obviously had serious mental health problems and needed to be helped, possibly as an in patient. Instead of which, they got hold of assault weapons and murdered children at prayer.
However, not even this horror will change gun laws in the USA.

You see, that's logical!

Barack Obama really did try to introduce sensible gun laws in America.
The second he mentioned his plans, the sale of assault rifles went through the roof.
I think some states did introduce some restrictions on the type of rifle that could be sold.

It's big business. The NRA have so much control over politics there is literally zero chance of anything ever changing. Doesn't matter how many children die. Fucking disgusting country.

So tragic. I have relatives that have moved to the USA and I often question why. Why would you want to live somewhere where your children could be shot at. Also where women’s rights are being slowly stripped away.

The fact they are trans is not relevant. It’s the fact that guns are readily available and easy to source that is the problem. America caused their own problem.

Yes, the trans issue is immaterial. This person expressed a desire to murder children, and they should have been stopped.

A male person did this not a female.

I never said this person was female.

The trans issue is not immaterial. This crime against humanity was not committed by a female.
