Welp...sounds like the FBI had been told months ago this guy was a threat...but didnt tell local law enforcement.
The can of worms this opens if true....yikes. And shame on the FBI...if you knew he was a threat and did nothing to stop it, or at least investigate this guy? This blood is on your hands.
Speaker Ryan in radio intv on Parkland, FL shooting: "it’s just a horrific, horrific, horrible shooting. I think we need to pray, and our hearts go out to these victims. And I think, as public policymakers, we don’t just knee-jerk before we even have all the facts and the data"
Ryan is another that needs to leave politics asap. Just spineless.
Rep. Jim Himes, whose home state endured Sandy Hook, says there will be a "perfectly predictable" response to Florida's shooting: "People will wish everybody thoughts and prayers ... and then the Congress of the United States will do absolutely nothing."

Another fun thing to see is Anquan Boldin weedeating his yard.
He is sooooo polite and remembers where he came from.
In fact, most of the guys I’ve met from Pahokee are so polite it’s unreal.
Go Muck City!

Yep. I apologize; just an oddball way of dealing with stress. Or somehow trying to show it’s not all bad down here lol.
Sometimes I really wish that the American's would elect a extremely oppressive President in who would put troops in the streets so that these gun nuts could have their 2nd amendment rebelling against an unjust government war that they've always kind of craved.
That way they would see how useful their pistols and machine guns are against a Battalion of M1A1 tanks supported by helicopter gun ships and artillery. The last words on their dying lips would be "Man we were stupid to think these guns would do us any good" or "Freedom" or some stupid BS like this.
But at least it would kill off the hard core gun culture nuts who believe that its their god given right to carry arms because the goberment.

Zero chance this is the outcome. Those same gun nuts would welcome the “law and order” and would be more likely to try and enlist than rebel. For your scenario to have a chance it would have to be an oppressive minority, nonchristian president. Basically the caricature they created of Obama.
The US is irrevocably broken in regards to firearms and I can’t imagine any scenario that leads to change.
After what happened last week the area is definitely on edge.
Not a mass shooting, but a local rampage you might call it.
I can’t get the link to post , but the headlines are like “5 shootings leave 3 dead in violent morning in Palm Beach county.”
A guy was found shot in his car on I95 around 4am.
The car just rolled into a road construction barrier where the guys were working overnight. The shooting remains a mystery; not connected with the other shootings.
Another guy shot his drug dealer in the afternoon, another guy early the next morning, and then his girlfriend-in full view of others at a convenience store.
He then put her in the car and proceeded to drive the wrong way down I95.
Traffic was held up for almost the whole day.
The shooter even threatened to kill his grandmother. She had a restraining order against him that expired the day of the shooting. Fortunately for her, she wasn’t one of the victims
Probably the most disturbing thing here at the moment is that no one is even discussing this.
On the news? Yeah. But just regular people- haven’t heard more than a couple.
Sorry McDoofus should read Victim, I screwed up the names.
some of you might view this crappy article that I wrote as callus and unfeeling, or insensitive, and that's fine. But at this point, there's nothing thats going to change or be done down there, so we might as well point out the sheer absurdity of the whole situation and how freaking stupid it is, and how an amendment in the framework of their nation is literally a suicide note.

lol, we're thanking principals for their service now? It's not a volunteer gig - they make $130k/year in Calgary and only work nine months a year.
These shootings in the USA are so exhausting. Like religious people and Trumpsters, when people don't care about facts there's nothing you can do to change their minds.
Congratulations on somehow bringing your usual potshots at education workers into a thread discussing a mass shooting at a school.
It wasn't easy, but you pulled it off.

You can have all the data in the world, but nothing is going to happen if you can't get the votes to back it up.
There really doesn't seem to be much concern over enacting more gun control at a federal level beyond talking about it on Facebook and a few days of outrage in the news every time this kind of thing happens. For whatever reason, pro-gun control groups can't turn their message into votes, which are the only currency that matters to politicians.
I think if some of these groups were to take a more measured approach and move any from their "demonize guns" approach, there would be more people receptive to their message. Not to mention actually knowing what you're talking about when proposing a law (the whole barrel shroud issue from a few years back, suppressor debate can be included in this too).
