Sadly, gun control becomes the topic of conversation when an incident such as this occurs...
Yet, no one ever looks beyond...i.e., why does a young person turn to such violence...could it be the result of seeing nothing but violence on tv...in the news...in games, on the internet, at the movies...
I agree with some of the above posts...in my day, I never feared someone coming to school with a gun. Then again, the most violent things I witnessed on tv was the light-hearted cartoon "Heckle and Jeckle."
And, the evening news was filled with fact-checked information...not speculation and competitive "breaking" news scripted to gain larger viewing audiences.
Oh what I wouldn't give to see two old crows back on television!
