Active Shooter Killed At Nashville School

[utvolpj]

she enter a side door into the building

Not again. Close the doors

 

[Orangeburst]

That would be shocking.

Confirmed

 

[knoxvol52]

Horrible I have a 5 year old granddaughter in school and **** like this makes me want to jerk her out and homeschool her myself

 

[kiddiedoc]

Female shooter

That's even crazier. I don't remember hearing a case of a woman shooting children.

Looked it up, since 1984, there have been 135 mass shootings involving a male and only 3 by a female.

 

[SamRebel35]

Ban nihilism.

 

[85SugarVol]

Yeah my response was more rejecting that any entity is allowing this to happen. That’s passing off responsibility.

Thoughts and prayers are bullsh*t and obviously get nothing accomplished. And people say this isn’t the time but I’d disagree. Do something and do it now besides offering thoughts and prayers. Bc the sympathy everyone feels right will soon fade and everyone will move on. It happens every time.

Which proposed actions are you and @bignewt ready to endorse?

Let’s do something right now.

This is weird, the person doing public information for Nashville Fire is wearing a bullet proof vest.

Hearing from a person I know in the area that there are multiple SWAT and ATF tactical teams deploying at multiple locations in the area.

 

[McDad]

Female shooter

That's very rare.

I can only sit here at my computer and shake my head in contemplation.

very specific. I'm sure this will fix it. Just do something. We'll call it the "We Are Doing Something" Bill

 

[Weezy]

The same they all have I'm sure. Ban 'em. No details, just big, sweeping generalizations.

Red flag laws, and increased treatment and awareness for mental illness. It probably won't catch them all, but put me in the camp of let's do something.

Dude, there’s like 135 mass shootings every year in this, the only civilized country on earth that allows children to be mowed down in lawless regularity.

 

[KB5252]

I will say this. Knee jerk reactions are often unhelpful. Let's pray now and let the families grieve then we can discuss reaction later.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Increased treatment and awareness for mental illness.

This is something I think we can all agree on. The mental health system in our country is a disgrace.

Do most mass shootings target children? It seems you're conflating two ideas

Extensive background checks + firearms safety course and test before being allowed to own a gun + raise age of purchase to 21 + registration of all firearms would be a good place to start.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Our society is just broken. Broken, broken, broken.

C’mon man…

 

[bignewt]

Our society is just broken. Broken, broken, broken.

When you have a problem no one can agree on how to fix the problem gets worse, not better.

 

[85SugarVol]

Extensive background checks + firearms safety course and test before being allowed to own a gun + raise age of purchase to 21 + registration of all firearms would be a good place to start.

Like a national registry of all firearms owners in the US?

That’s general procedure. They have to presume that while yes, they killed the active shooter, there’s still some chance of a second shooter or accomplice until a certain point. (Though I presume in this case, there’s most likely not).

 

[Ttucke11]

I'm good with all that except the last bit.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Sometimes I stress myself out imagining that even if we could agree on what would fix the problem, it wouldn’t work, because I worry it isn’t something that can be fixed top-down. Gazing into the abyss and what not.

Make it like car ownership. Have an insurance policy on each gun.

 

[Weezer]

Just heard about the Nashville shooting. Praying for those affected, and. hoping it was no one in our VN family.

 

[MarcoVol]

Like a national registry of all firearms owners in the US?

Which I realize is unconstitutional. But you asked my opinion of what we should do. Obviously will never happen
