18 children dead in Texas shooting

That sounds like a healthy environment.

Do they actually still invest in school books and things?

When two thirds of the news is about a mass shooting it is over reported. Nobody is suggesting that it not be reported, but over reporting it inspires more mass shootings that gets people killed and injured. I have noticed your concern for human life throughout the pandemic to promote gene vaccines and now it is time to prove human life means as much to you now as it did ...[text shortened]... over reporting mass shootings gets people killed. What do you suggest doing about it to save lives?

It isn't the weapons; it is the heart of the people who do the killing; when life is
reduced in importance, it shouldn't be surprising that people act as if life isn't all
that important. We have been reducing life in the hearts of others for years, and we
have also seen a lack of concern for authority, so it shouldn't be a surprise that
those in authority are ridiculed and even killed. We are repeating what we have
been sowing as a society.

Obama had this to say on Twitter...

"As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him."

There was an armed Security Guard at TOPS MARKET,
a retired cop. He was able to return fire, but was killed
Preliminary reports, I have heard, is that a police
officer was on duty at the school in TEXAS.

@jimm619
I heard there was an armed guard at the scene of the truck crash so how did he get by that dude?

@sonhouse

The punk had body armour on and that cop was shot I heard.

From the BBC:
“School shootings have become recurring emergencies in the US, with 26 recorded last year, according to EdWeek, an education trade publication.

“Active shooter lockdown drills are a common part of the school curriculum, from primary to high school.”

You do realise this isn’t a normal or healthy situation, don’t you?

Twisted stats.

They count any gun going off near a school in that list and most of those are gang related.

Actual school massacres is 15 all time.

The answer to the gang shootings is exactly the same as the answer to school shootings. Drastically curb availability of weapons with which to shoot people regardless of colour or age.
What you call over reporting I call focusing attention on an incident that only the most heartless sociopath would not care about in order to stimulate political debate about the ridiculousness of current gun laws in the US.

The Virginia tech shooter killed 32 students with a handgun and wounded 17.

If we make laws banning one type of gun they will try to ban the next type and so on.

@wildgrass

No...
It means if yall ban one type of weapon you will see that a simple handgun can kill just as many and you'll want to ban that next.

Give them a foot and they will want a mile.

You want to repeal the 2nd amendment. Just say so. Be honest.
