Was the shooter expelled from that school years ago or recently? 19 and still in high school means he got held back obviously. What a dumbass loser.

And yet absolutely nothing will be offered to fix the issue other than thoughts and prayers.

This news is very tragic.
Probably one of the most tragic high school shooting incidents in recent memory since Columbine, and even some headlines stated that it is among the deadliest school incidents after Sandy Hook.

Horrible ! My heartfelt prayers to all the victims and their families  ps : And then Trump has the nerve to say that Americans shouldn't be travelling to France anymore because it has become such a "dangerous" country .  It has become an unsafe country alright , but it's still nothing comapred to the USA. We don't have [massive] shootings of that kind in France. And if we do , it's incredibly incredibly incredibly rare ! |

Extremely tragic.
This morning my school had a "false alarm" emergency lockdown... worst timing ever.

This kind of news is always very sad, but damn it has been a hell of a long time since it was shocking or even a little surprising.

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. It's only that.

My condolences to the families.
A better check about mental illnesses for people buying guns should be mandatory.
Not sure banning guns will be a solution though.
I'm pretty sure there are much more victims due to car accidents caused by people driving under alcohol effects, but nobody thinks about banning alcohol (again).

A total ban on guns is out of the question. Implement universal background checks and have a system where mentally ill (especially the severely mentally ill) aren’t allowed to buy guns is a good start. |

ELI5, why can't America get their shit together and impose the same gun laws that Australia and the U.K have?

ELI5, why can't America get their shit together and impose the same gun laws that Australia and the U.K have? Long story short, 2nd Amendment and the fact that guns are synonymous with freedom here in the states. It's pretty backwards, but its ingrained into our culture at this point. FTR I'm not for a total ban of guns, that's ridiculous and impractical. But we need stricter laws and regulation esp. on assault weapons. |

Nikolas Cruz made comments on YouTube videos saying how he was going to be a professional school shooter. The FBI knew about this and even went as far to interview him.
A bunch of his classmates joked about how we would be a school shooter.
He shot his neighbors chickens.
He bit a child.
How did this guy manage to legally buy a gun?

How does one even become a pro school shooter? All these losers go one and done. |

I really think since Columbine, a lot of these disturbed school shooters are just out to top the last shooter who had the highest body count. People will mourn yet again, and sadly, nothing will done about it, yet again.

*before* “ There’s no need to be so strict on guns!” *after* “ It’s not appropriate to have this conversation now!” “Let the families grieve.” Did 20 minutes go by to let families grieve before everyone turned the Pulse shooting into a ploy for harsher immigration laws and bans? If the shooter were a foreigner, there’s no doubt that she’d be one of those crying out for that to happen. And the thing is, I partly agree with her. It’s important to grieve and not politicize things so soon after these tragedies, but it’s the hypocrisy of her words that completely invalidates everything she has to say. The actual text of her tweet is not what offends me. That it exists in a plane of reality where she tries to paint herself as a righteous and compassionate voice of reason, despite the fact that she’s most likely used the same ploys with no such sense of compassion absolutely DOES offend me. |
