I raised the question to a couple of Americans asking would they give up guns if it saves a child's life. Their answer was the problem isn't guns
It's just a complete coincidence that the country with by far the most guns has by far the most gun murders & mass shootings.

Already in the news here are questions about IS HE LEGAL rather than WHY DO WE KEEP HAVING MASS SHOOTINGS?
Apparently, a number of the victims are children of customs and border patrol and law enforcement agents. No idea whether that had played any part in the murderer's motivation, but you know what the narrative is going to be on Fox News tonight.
I actually felt nauseous when this news broke. It's just too much. It has to stop.

Not connected at all.
And half the population here believes fundamentally that the rights afforded them in this country are 'god given', when what they really have are some privileges that were agreed upon and implemented a few centuries ago by fallible human beings.

The town is 80% Mexican/Mexican American. I am guessing here but I reckon most of the dead kids will be too, as probably most of the Border Agents will be.
I live by the border & here most Border Agents are Mexican or Filipino heritage. The Filipinos always give my Missus (US born Asian American) a hard time crossing the border while giving me (White resident Alien - not a citizen) ultra friendly treatment. F*ck knows why but it pisses her off.
This kid shot his granny first then headed for the school. Sounds like just another cowardly shyte looking for a soft target like all the others. They shoot up schools or shops most commonly, don't they.
And, like many of the others, his social media was full of photos of his guns.

I asked my 13 year old son if his teachers discussed the slaughter at school today. He said, “ No, but a kid was expelled today for having brought a gun to school last week”. He wasn’t sure whether it was a real handgun or an Airsoft gun. Nevertheless, we parents were never told about it from the administration. I had to hear about it off the cuff from my kid. That’s how ****ed up we are.
