    And there you have it.

    The only single outright ban on a whole class of firearms was also signed into law by a ex-democrat GOP president.

    Hey, Just because this is looking more and more like what happened from the late 80s to about 2000, not to worry. It's all part of the Grand Scheme, Trump's Genius Master Plan (TM). We're perfectly safe. I've read it repeatedly right here on RPF.

    With the exception of the West Nickel Mines incident where the milkman killed 5 Amish girls and wounded 5 others, I can’t really think of a single school shooting where the perpetrator was not a student or former student. If kids want to stop gun violence, they need to start with themselves and their own schools.

    There have been instances where the shooters were adults, but they shot other adults, not students. In high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools, almost all the shooting was done by kids. Sandy Hook might be the exception there.

    The very worst school massacre was carried out by a disgruntled and suicidal government employee/elected bureaucrat named Andrew Kehoe in 1927.

    And he didn't use a gun.

    38 elementary aged kids died and six adults died when he blew up the Bath Township Consolidated school in Michigan.

    If you go back 300 years you will find a lot of violence in schools, but please understand the kids protesting today are not talking about that. They are talking about what happened in Douglas high school last month. And if they want to do something about it, they need to look in the mirror.

    People younger than 30 in the US are no more liberal on gun control than their parents or grandparents, polls show. They tend to differ by 1% or so, statistically not significant.

    Principal at Tennessee school holds "do over."

    Tennessee students’ first walkout was chaos. The school tried again the next day.

    Students at a high school outside of Nashville, Tenn., knew the chaotic videos from their Wednesday walkout didn’t exactly show the student body in the best light.

    Some Antioch High School students jumped on a cop car Wednesday during what was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration for action on gun laws, according to police. Others tugged down an American flag. There were even multiple fights, the school district said, and about 20 students are now facing disciplinary action, the Tennessean reports.

    “This was probably toward the middle of the walkout. Everything was going fine, until it started to get rowdy,” Fares Ali, a senior at the high school, told McClatchy. “There were a handful of students who just made the wrong choices.

    So on Thursday, about 100 students decided to try again: They walked out a second time, WSMV reports.

    Students took the flag that had been torn down and raised it back up, the TV station reports. The school’s band played the national anthem as the flag was raised. The students also had 17 minutes of silence on Thursday in honor of the 17 students who were killed during a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., a month ago — the deadly event that inspired thousands and thousands of students to walkout across the country on Wednesday.

    Antioch’s principal planned the Thursday event, WSMV reports. Only some of the student body was allowed to attend.

    Please note nobody points a finger at the film or music industries that promote gun violence with every production. Nobody's bringing their CDs or DVDs to burn. Kids immerse themselves in pop culture and expect someone else to clean up the mess.

    That much is true, but needs to be kept in mind is that these things are a very rare occurrence.

    Nor should anyone be pointing the finger there, ever.

    The responsibility for these heinous crimes should always be placed squarely upon the shoulders of the people who commit them. Period. Full stop. If someone has manipulated the shooter into committing his atrocities, then certainly they share some of the responsibility too. But it ends there.

    The gun is not responsible

    The movies the guy watched are not responsible.

    The CDs he listened to are not responsible.

    The video games he played are not responsible.

    The criminal(s) is/are responsible. No one or nothing else.

    Could beer be responsible if the shooter was drunk?

    Or drugs if he was stoned?

    Both have been known to cause certain people to act out violently. We don't hold the alcohol or the drugs responsible.

    Only people can be responsible for actions. If an SSRI is causing someone to act violently, then it seems to me there are only 2 possible responsible parties, either the person who took it or the person who prescribed it.

    You start placing moral responsibility upon inanimate objects, you're doing exactly the same thing that the gun grabbers do, and you've lost the debate.

    What if someone was coerced to drink the beer by a parent or doctor? Can they be held partially responsible?
