A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I'm noticing that this latest wave of mass murders seems to not only be happening in "gun-free zones", but in jurisdictions where gun control laws are most rampant.

As was the missing security guard.

Quote
According to the school's website, "two campus supervisors and a Kern County Sheriff monitor the campus before, during, and after school." But officials said the armed officer who is normally on campus was "snowed in" and not on duty at the time of the shooting. About 1,000 students attend the high school.

My question is WHAT THE **** ARE WRONG WITH THESE KIDS??? Going into a school and shooting someone who bullied you is an act of cowardice. Two wrongs dont make a right.....Kids need to learn to stand up for themselves....

Snowed in in southern California, no less, although the Grapevine was in fact closed that morning.  It can get pretty nasty up there and in the El Cajon Pass (I-15.)

Apparently the kids could get to school but not the guard.  Um? How does that work?

Yewn-yuns.  That's how it gets played...unless the guard lived on the other side of the Grapevine (which, as I stated earlier, was in fact closed that morning) in which case, I can pretty much understand.

And gun show in Manch-Vegas?  Wootage!!!  Maybe that assclown state rep from Keene can show up and act all douchey.

Tots, I was doing a tour in Germany back in 1997 and there was a double- or triple homicide in Austria committed with a pump shotgun.  On one of the German networks, a senior Austrian police official was interviewed and denounced pump shotguns as 'Clearly unnecessary for any legitimate sporting purpose,' I kid you not.

What happens when kids refuse to go to school, afraid that they might get shot?? Gun control doesn't work obviously.

Taft is a long way from the Grapevine on the east side of Bakersfield. I would think anyone working there would live in Bakersfield not coming from LA but maybe? I do know when it snows out there nothing moves!

No kidding.  As a kid I was somewhat shy, a bit nerdy and not the most popular of kids.  I took my share of ribbing but never once considered resorting to violence to resolve the problems because I value life and was aware of the consequences such actions would bear.  I can thank my parents for teacing me these values which allowed me to deal with my social short comings.

I saw one (assault shotgun) at Dick's the other day.  I saw one regular 'home defense'  plain vanilla pump at about $200 the other right beside it  had the tactical stock and pistol grip but otherwise the same gun at $400 bucks.  (these are approximate prices and visible features as I was not there looking at guns but wandered through and couldn't help look, kind of like when you see an accident).   I noted to myself it looked like a pretty hefty price for very little benefit beyond looking scary.

And there's your other problem.  You're going to Dick's.  After they pulled that crap with the rifles they had on back order, I pretty much swore off them for everything.

And they didn't have what I wanted to look at ( not buy ) anyway so it was a truly wasted trip. :mental:  Thing is I was right there so it didn't really cost me anything but time to wander in and out.  I may have to make a trip to Cabela's sometime.

Not really one way or the other, I just never been to Cabela's in Saco.  I did grow up with the KTP  if the truth be known, bought my first model 94 from them when they were a hole in the wall operation along with lots of ammo and gumshoe rubber boots. 

Hit this link for a bit of the history of the place.  If there is any problem I might have with them it would be that now a days it is too hard to get in and out with all the traffic (and that damn sales tax if you buy there).   Damn tourists clog up the roads over there somethin' wicked.

I would guess Vesta is fairly famliar with the family too, IIRC she was from right down the road in Eliot.

I was in the same boat.  One kid in particular liked to bully me.  But once he blind sided me in the school locker room with a sucker punch to the face...  The coach had to peel me off of the guy.

He never bullied me again.

But it never crossed my mind to use some sort of weapon to attack him.

Not all school shooters are bullies. I read that many school shooters have a history of bullying.

1.) I'm curious how the kid was able to get the weapon used to shoot the other kid.

2.) I wouldnt be surprised if the liberals are brain-washing kid's telling them to go shoot people, in order to get guns banned. I dont think that is the truth but i think it would be funny
