What in the hell is going on in this country?! When does this crap stop? The whole world has gone nuts.
USA is not the whole world
Really? Well thanks for that. Now I feel educated. *eyeroll* THEE entire world is nuts. Is that better?
Yes it has. The whackos are coming out of the woodwork.
They're Democrats- what do you expect?
People like you are the problem with this country. Without any shred of evidence, you blame a specific political party saying they caused this, when in fact the truth is that no political party had anything to do with this.
This country isn't going anywhere until people SPECIFICALLY LIKE YOU put politics aside, make compromises and work together to make this a better place.
Don't vote. Please.
Put a cork in it Vern. Sadly, stupid can't be cured so just hush and maybe no one else will notice your brain fell out.
This is some evil world we are living in. Where the hell did he get the gun from, possibly another "responsbile" gun toting freak
Calm Down There Susan. Don't jump to conclusions on where this punk got his gun from. Always out to stir some trouble aye? Like many others on here, the anti gun lunatics just flock to these news feeds and pipe in with their anti gun it's all gun owners faults blah blah blah. He very well may have TAKEN the gun from someone in his family, he could have stole it, got it from a friend or anything else. It's ridiculous this @!$%# keeps happening but what else is to be expected with the way kids are coddled and protected from the daily problems of the world... They can't deal with anything and blow up. Then again this could easily be some stupid punk kids who called each other a name and one decided name calling was worth trying to murder another. It can be a million different scenarios. Save the bs for when more info is available.
this just crazy what are they doing with guns anyway kids shooting kds
Back when the schools GAVE children guns and ammunition, stuff like this didn't happen.
My mom was the captain of her high school rifle team in the '50s. I used to take my shotgun to Junior High across the handlebars of my bicycle in the '70s, to go shooting after school. My wife and I bought our daughter her first rifle for her 7th birthday. We never shot anyone.
It's not the guns. It's crappy parenting.
This is absolutely ridiculous!! Seriously starting to think about home schooling my kids :-/
Not a bad idea. You can teach your children the Truth, instead of teaching them a THEORY about human life being no more valuable than a random "accident" of mud.
Home schooling is the only problem here,going to a mall or movie or anywhere has become a potentially dangerous thing this country is loaded with kooks from sea to shinning sea.
loaded with random "accidents" of mud.
this is crazy kids shooting kids not sure where these kids are getting guns
The thing I'm not sure about is what kind of crappy parenting results in kids killing kids.
Again, you have to wonder, what kind of parents does this kid have, that they would raise a kid who would do such a thing? And if he got the gun from home, I hope the wounded kid's parents sue the pants off them. Or off whomever it is he did get the gun from.
Something must be done about all these deranged Democrats shooting up everything in sight.
Welcome to the United States of Afghanistan. lol
It's sad for me to think this and even more sad to say but I think they should start putting metal detectors in all the schools. I'd rather kids had to do this than go through life long troubles after witnessing or dying in such events. It's just happening WAY too much any more.
For those of you throwing out the ol' "obviously-it-must-have-been-a-Democrat-who-did-this" rhetoric, with nothing to back-up your claim... GROW UP, already.
It's comments like that that continue to divide.
i have been around guns my whole life....and i never shot anyone. my dad taught us better than that. i have all intentions to teach my 2 kids the same thing. u teach em gun saftey and chances are there, not going to do any thing so stupid, like carrying a gun to school in the first place.

Here in the good old USA society is gradually crumbling.
It would appear that there are two problems here.
There. I feel better.
People need God in their lives and if God is taken out, then we have chaos. Things will get worse if we continue without God.
Gund don't kill people!!! Bullets kill people!! More people are killed by cars. So let's ourtlaw cars Keep guns legal; outlaw bullet sale, ownership and possession!!!
