We were very "fortunate" that the MI & GA mass shooters were cowards. Rather than being killed by cop, they gave up. That's very good and very rare. Upon investigation and interviews, we are finding that the parents WERE in fact culpable. They KNEW their teen was troubled. They KNEW he was bullied and troubled at school. They provided access to the weapons.
At some point in time WE (the public) MUST point blame to parents - especially when the evidence is so clear.
I'm a Conservative, but SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. I believe that WE CAN abate some of these shootings without impacting the 2nd Amendment. Let's use common sense. I can't imagine our kids having to live (and learn) be concerned that another shooting may happen to their school. And YES - apply these same standards and new laws to "regular" shootings or violence as well...
