The Question No One here Wants to Ask

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

I think the focus will be on the BGC law and how it's "not enough."

If this guy could pass the BGC it won't be enough in the minds of Liberals. They have to keep pushing until they total disarmament.

Skip, I think what MarkCO said about these people could also apply to liberals:

Even claiming to understand what occurs in the mind of such a person is folly. We use rational thought process to make choices because, in large part, we value human life.

I do agree with your underlying thought though: What amount of legislation would have stopped this? None.
By using a shotgun, which Biden and Obama both have embraced in order to look centrist, he basically defeated all of their arguments. At least in my mind.

I might be full of shit here, but isn't a shotgun the only real gun you can legally buy if you're only 18 years old? Hand guns and those scary nasty black guns are 21 years old, right?

It's not hard to see why school shootings happen. It's the point of frustration/anger/lashing out for these people. Just like "going postal". People attack the area/group/place that causes them the anger/frustration. Then add in the notoriety that they'll get with it and it's the obvious answer for young minds. The ultimate "Ill show you".

If you really think that, get some help, please. Killing someone else due to frustration or anger is NOT a "normal" response!

I didn't say it was normal. It's the furthest thing from normal.

Small game no lower limit, Big game is 12, Drive is 16, Long guns and voting is 18, Handguns and alcohol are 21.

Good.

Good.

Re-reading my comment makes me see how that could have come across. My fault.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thanks Mark...I stand corrected.

I just realized that there is really only one thing I REALLY enjoy doing that does not have an age limit or license required...and it is still free.
