For that matter, in what just happened. Does anyone believe the shooter would not have grabbed a kid and used him as a shield?.
As stated, a simple solution does not exist.
I expect the defense will argue the shooter is insane. He is 19. We will need to keep him in prison for as long as 80 years at a current cost of ????? 100,000 a year.
Can we, can I, accept that a sane person is capable of this unfathomable act?

Certainly would change the curriculum for teacher education.
I still think the politics should go away, and there should be a public congressional hearing on any practical gun law solutions, and also the handling of these mental problems within the schools, which is probably the most difficult to solve of the two.
I realize the long arm of NRA money and influence...that is why PUBLIC hearings are important. Allow everyone to see and hear.
