Give kids easy access to guns and wonder why they kill each other. I have broken nose from school fight. Glad I don’t live in America or I would probably be dead too.
Give an enraged idiot access to a knife and he’ll kill you too
the title,,”another school shooting” seems a bit “wrong”,,,,,,,,,,,,the sandy hook shooting was a shooting,but not a “real” shooting. so seems this could be missinfo?
on that note,,,,,,i just joined this site,and with the links to google etc,i think its time to leave.
take care.
They were adults… Irresponsible adults, not kids… Malcav, it was at a college
The guys were from the CIA, entered illegally into campus and started shooting randomly pretending to be college kids, then ran away. This is all another staged event to grab guns….
don’t be a fool by giving away your guns…..this is the end times for America, they know they cant get all the guns, but they are making sure, they could get as many guns as possible before the civil war begins.
Clearly not enough guns.
