Really, the timing of these things makes me wonder if the conspiracy nutters prattling on about MK-Ultra aren't right.

Operation Northwoods and operation Fast and Furious both make me wonder the same thing..

What would be a good time to have a school shooting that wouldn't make you assume there is some sort of conspiracy?

If anything, the timing of this would seem to suggest the exact opposite. If it happened a few days before a major election, I could see thinking there's a conspiracy but in the middle of May? Not only that, this is going to be a big news weekend with the royal wedding in England which means that likely the story is going to get buried in other events.

The anti-gunners keep clinging to this belief that there's going to be ONE mass shooting that will suddenly cause a massive number of Americans to change their minds about guns and gun control.

But when you consider that we've had a mass shooting at an elementary school, a church, and two recent shootings that killed 50 people, the reality is that if anyone's mind was going to be changed following a shooting, it already has been. All that happens now with a mass shooting is that those who hate guns and want to outlaw them get even more rabid in their hatred, and those who want to keep their guns get even more determined to do so.

The level of angry rhetoric may go up a few notches, but a few weeks in the news cycle and then something else will take it's place. It's sad that an event that would have been at the top of the news for weeks just 20 years ago now just makes a blip.

I don't think very many people actually change their minds following a shooting like this and given that big changes can usually only happen during an election, this is going to be old news by the time people go to the polls in November.

Don't need secret mind control with a complicit media sensationalizing every mass shooting, which all but guarantees to inspire more mentally ill to plan the next one. How about they give up their "freedom of the press", since it's part of the problem?

My hometown, and my HS (twenty years ago). I know a couple of my friends are teachers there. Seems so unreal when it might be people you know.

Bringing our kids to school an hour earlier to go through metal detectors will be normal within 3-5yrs. Random locker searches too. I’d hate to be a kid in school these days.

Several reports say weapon was a pump action shotgun
