Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde Texas

Oh Gee! Seems just like another day in the land of violence! This does not surprise me at all. Just look at the "garbage" that comes out of Hollywood these days disguised as "entertainment." If you ask me, "what goes around, comes around." Changes are needed but no one does anything except complain and keep putting those flowers where the situation happened. There will be more and more of this. It is a reflection of the times. A materlistic culture is not necessarily a happy culture. Sad!

Problem is the extreme 2nd Amenders who insist anyone, for any reason, can buy a gun with no waiting period and the politicians who support these notions, because they are too cowardly to lead.

Our politicians are totally useless. Gun lovers think that they live in the days of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. The times have changed and they don't want to know about it. Every man thinks he is John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. The crazies are neither; they are just crazy and we have more and more crazies all the time. Don't believe me? Watch cable TV!

To me, this 18 yr old looks a lot like the 18 yr old shooter in Buffalo!

This is heartbreaking...the innocent children, there are no words......Texas is open carry probably one of the easiest states in the country to get a gun! I despise the politicians that make no effort to lessen the probability of this happening.

The politicians in Texas have been doing what Texans want. That is why the same party has been in power since 1994. Making guns easier to obtain and carry in public (no license needed) is supposed to make Texans safer.

YYYup, it's those damn movies & video games!

We are all shocked, horrified and confused when this happens. There are many mentally ill people out there that ask for help and never get taken seriously. They are ignored or neglected by their families, teachers, doctors and society in general. Then they do the something that makes someone, anyone listen. Why are we not paying attention to those that are suffering. Most people have no desire to hurt anyone. They just want someone to listen, help them, get them the care they need to function in society. I am horrified by this young mans actions but he had been struggling for a long time to do something so horrific.

We need to stop looking the other way, we need to make authorities/doctors, teachers at school to step up to identify children that are the victims of bullies. Those that also suffer at home from hunger, abuse and neglect. We need to be aware of the things in society that makes daily normal life impossible. It comes down to if you see something, say something. Be advocate to all.
 
For the gunman to kill that many people in that short of time, he must have used an AR-15 style rifle. Nothing else is that deadly and allows someone to kill with such ease.

The Buffalo shooter was influenced by White Replacement Theory. He went to a city where he knew there would be a high concentration of Black people. He chose that neighborhood because he knew it would be mostly Blacks shopping there and he'd have a good chance of killing mostly Black people.

In today's shooting in Texas, reports claim there is a 90% percentage of Hispanics in the school, but the gunman appears to be Hispanic. It could still be the influence of White Replacement Theory, though. There were Jewish Nazis in 1930s Germany. Sometimes people act in ways that aren't in their best interests.

Uh.......no. One of the worst mass shootings with 32 dead & 17 wounded was carried out with 2 pistols.

Come on people, stop looking at the state, the color of their skin. This is about the mentally ill. This happens when mentally ill people get to the breaking point. They just want us to see and know the pain they were in and we did nothing to help them. Would anybody in their right mind do this, I don't think so.
 
15 massacred, Yeah, we're shocked, and horrified, blah, blah, blah. We'll be shocked and horrified for about a week or so. Then another responsible gun owner will mow down a dozen or so more. How many school shootings ago did we say "this time", it will be the last. Apparently we love our guns more than our kids.
