I'm glad they didn't have a gun. Could have been much worse...

Ban knives, even the plastic ones.

This is why I hate knives.
Knives cost Lives. That's my mantra.
The obviously need to be banned.

I support the 2nd amendment and people's rights to defend themselves but if there are zero deaths, we can reasonably assume it would have been far worse with a gun right?


Like back when the Newtown shooting happened some people kept bringing up the guy in Asia who stabbed 27 Kindergarteners. They all lived. That's the point, I think.

I suppose one could assume anything they wanted.
For instance I could assume that existing gun laws don't need to be strengthened because they likely prevented this kid from obtaining one. That's not necessarily true though.

Guns = Freedom. Just ask those motherfuckers in Kiev!

I agree on the need for the right to own one.

But what about Canada and Europe and these other countries? What is the argument against their gun situation?

I think it is so easy to overlook the real issue and turn this into another gun rights debate. Metal health has been one of the biggest issues in our country that was ignored. What else is making these kids commit these acts? How long have they been ignored? As much as I'm not a fan Obamacare it does make an effort to address it in a meaningful way.

Why can't both be addressed?

Because one dominates the debate and the real issue gets overlooked most of the time.

This area of town is in no way poor and I would be surprised if this kid's parents didn't have access to insured mental health care. When it comes to kids the parents either don't care to watch closely or admit their kid needs treatment. Another angle is this kid being bullied. For all schools try now they do t catch all. And also kids don't always want to tell that shit at home. I have seen this.

Then a kid snaps and people go ??

One of the parents in the article mentioned the kid had been bullied.

probably SomeGuy again...
