School Drop-Out Gave Warning on Facebook Minutes Before Uvalde Massacre
Texas DPS/InstagramUVALDE, Texas—The 18-year-old gunman who opened fire at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 kids and two adults, wrote three disturbing messages on Facebook just minutes before the massacre, warning of the carnage to come.“I’m going to shoot my grandmother,”...

Yes a database should be obvious. Every single car in this country is tracked, why not guns!
Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos once cut up his face with knives ‘just for fun,’ friends say
The gunman who slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school reportedly exhibited strange behavior before the rampage.

The schools have spent only 7% of the billions they received 2 years ago in pandemic money supposedly needed to improve ventilation.Why not fund a guard in each school who is armed wearing long garment so gun is hidden so doesn’t scare some kids.Most of these shooters are born cowards who are not to mental that they would not shy away from a hard target

Accoridng to ABC News he killed the school resource officer who was armed.
In the Topps shooting in Buffalo the armed guard was also killed.

California #1 now...what does this mean? They are big states....
Washington DC is most per capita if you're interested.
Chris Murphy is one of the worst in DC. Politicizes everything, only cares about his power. He's a good actor.
Politicians can't fix this. The community as a whole has to. It will be a long process.
DC, deleware, alaska all have low population and will rank low on anything that can be contributed to low volume phenomenon. probably need to plant both metrics on a scatter if you really wanted to go that route
AR 15 why does the random joe or jane need them? Did you know texas is one of least funded states for mental health support. NRA is Houston starts Thurs.
If you don't have.a national database, It is sort of worthless. One would have to do a search of 50 databases?
It should be like the Convicted Offenders Data Base which stores DNA profiles. The individual states have their statewide database but they are all uploaded to the national database.
all info should be included in this data base including ballistics. this would match an unknown projectile with a firearm.

We certainly have the technology to implement that.
IMO, it would not violate 2nd Amendment.
It would have some impact but would not completely eliminate these events.

I agree and would take it a step further.
Add:
Include mental health and medication records added to NICS for the background check.
I'd waive for the 21 year age limit for current and ex police and military honorably discharged.
The well deserved sarcasm is noted.
Those signs make some people feel like they are doing something. Good intent but useless.
An immediate solution would be to harden the schools and have armed guards. We protect banks, courthouses, jewelry stores, etc. We should protect our children. It may not stop it all but there would be an impact. You don't see too many mass hooting in banks.
There was a decent amount of discussion on this topic with the morning talking heads.
One thing that would help, would be to stop incarcerating so many people. Incarceration takes parents away from their kids. And we do it more than any other country.

Greg abbot has signed 22 bills last handful of years to make guns more accessible for purchase.

Apparently this psycho bought his guns through a federally licensed dealer and therefore passed the background check. While all gun sales should be subject to a background check, it seems like that won't stop many.
The other solution is to ban certain guns, magazines, and number of magazines but that will never pass, can't punish law-abiding citizens for the actions (and while devastating) of a very, very, very few.

yea. thats why they skew high. do you understand what it means? lmao. if one happens in wyoming all of a sudden its #1. neither metric tells the true story on its own.
I live in Brooklyn with my wife and two daughters, my immediate concern is the day to day shootings. We just visited friends in Hasting-On-Hudson who moved out of Brooklyn in October because he and his 2 year old son were walking on the sidewalk, ahead of them he watched two kids surround and execute another kid, one of the gunman ran back by them as my friend covered up his son. That was enough for them. They moved, they can work remotely. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/25/nyregion/nyc-gun-violence-children.html
So help me understand your two posts. On the one hand you present data that we incarcerate too many people, but on the other hand you are suggesting that the streets in NYC aren't safe because there are too many criminals. I agree that incarceration rates are a good topic to analyze if we are an outlier. But if we tighten up bail reform and tighten laws on illegal guns and the use of them in a commission of a crime, we know what the result is going to be. Just looking for some clarification on your points.
agree with this. the latest brooklyn guy apparently had a bunch of crimes prior to that. hes a criminal but free from incarceration. howd that turn out?
Why would not incarcerating people help? In my opinion the pendulum has swung wildly to this non-incarceration movement. I do not think crime is on the rise due to this movement along with bail reform which keeps more criminals out on the street awaiting trial instead of being locked up.
So why would you want to reduce the incarceration rate and have more people like that roaming the streets?
we're taking about mental health, not bail reform. Incarcerating people destroys family and creates an unstable family environment which causes teens to act out. I'm pointing out that there is gun violence everyday, not just when there's a mass shooting all over the news. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-l...s-violent-crime-breakdown-marriage-family-and

I really don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. It’s counter intuitive.
Only if your intuition tells you that incarceration is the only way to enforce laws.
I never said it was the only way to enforce laws. But if you use a gun in the commission of a crime or own an illegal gun, yes, if found guilty you should be incarcerated.
something tells me a lot of these guys arent great fathers in or out of jail
