I just heard his name being said on the TV. I'm guessing the shooter has the same name.

…There are no words. There has to be more gun control and better restrictions on this stuff. I'm not an expert on this, but god damnit. This shit has to stop. :/

" allowing concealed pistols in schools and other places".....

But if those 8-year-old children would've been armed - because freedom! - they could've stopped the shooter. /NRA

But if you don't allow concealed carry people won't go into schools and shoot them up! /idiots

But having guns around at places like schools is guaranteed to improve everything!

But making laws to keep them out of schools is sure to prevent people shooting up schools!

But why make it even worse?

How does allowing concealed carry make it worse, exactly? Is a criminal not going to hide his gun because there is a law saying he can't tuck it in his pocket?

No, but allowing to legally carry guns around at places where immature kids are bound to have heated arguments etc. is beyond stupid.

That's shitty. Don't use tragedy to push political agenda. Especially immediately after the tragedy. Assholes.

When's the right time then? When the next shooting happens? It's already too late.

If tragedy brought with it an obligation to abrogate ideological talk relevant to said tragedy we would be static w/r/t public policy in a way that we would all be worse off. Not that I am advocating an over the top reactionary knee jerk to everything, but political talk is neither immoral nor does it obviate my ability to feel sympathy for the victims.

What exactly are people supposed to talk about in this thread (and threads like it all over the internet) if not gun control / mental health / other issues they consider relevant? 20 pages of 'oh that's so terrible :((' isn't going to do anything. No shit it's terrible.

Discuss how to prevent it happening again. You may not think it matters because 'it's only Giant Bomb' or whatever, but this is exactly how social change happens. Regular people in regular places talk until enough minds are swayed and action is demanded. You might think you only have a small voice, and that it doesn't matter what you think anyway when something like this happens, but it does matter - the direction your country goes in is ultimately decided by 300m small voices just like yours. Don't encourage people not to think and speak out just because 'it's only Giant Bomb' - that is cowardly.

Something is very, very wrong with your country and you have a duty to demand that solutions be found. We can't still be watching this happen 10, 20 years from now.

@mandude: I didn't mean just you even though I was using you as an example, I just mean in general. Most of us will forget this ever happened and the most 99% of us will do about any of this is bitch about this on forum sites and on Facebook. Not you per se (because I don't know you) but people in general. What i'm trying to say is, this thread is meaningless and will have zero significance in the real world.

It hasn't even been a day. Mourn for a second or two. Regardless, I don't even know if keeping concealed guns would have any effect at all on shootings positive or negative. There's a lot we don't know about how such a law would effect school violence. I can't imagine simply having a gun in school would increase or really decrease the number of school shootings. There's just not enough out there. But no matter what would happen or whether that law should come to pass or not bringing it up now just plays on the emotions of shocked people. Few people are going to be thinking rationally about guns and schools right now. Maybe not for a while. Wait to talk about this shit until we all have a moment to digest what has happened and can think clear. On the very day of a tragedy is not a time to be discussing the implementation of laws. There's too much emotion right now.

And, to me anyway, it looks like someone playing on the emotions of people who are vulnerable right now. That really bothers me.

Schools also means university and if they are 18 and have a license they should be allowed to if this law passes.

RIght, schools full of  
 
1. tiny kids that don't know what they're doing/the dangers of guns and may come across one by accident 
2. older kids that are fucking assholes and want to threaten someone/are going through shitty lives and let things spiral out of control in their heads (as teenagers do)  and have the capability to take a gun (or are old enough to own one)
3. teach/visitors/general outsiders 
 
Are the perfect places for concealed weapons. No added danger in that at all, no need to be concerned. 
 
Concealed guns in schools you say? Why not! Law passed!

Open carry on Michigan campus's has been legal for awhile now. People who legally participate in open and/or concealed carry don't get it shootouts with someone over petty arguments. I'm not seeing how allowing concealed carry changes anything.

I am stunned that people think the solution to horrific crimes like this is allowing everyone to carry guns so we can have untrained people having shootouts in public places.

@JasonR86: This is the same stuff that everyone says after every shooting. And nothing ever gets done (not that I think anything will get done now either). You need to talk about when it's fresh in people's minds. What happened is fucking horrible so the talk should immediately go to how we stop this from ever happening again. We could wait and let some time pass and then nobody cares. And then the cycle repeats.

Gun control may not be the right answer to mass shootings. But not talking about what to do is definitely the wrong answer.

How does allowing concealed carry make it worse, exactly? Is a criminal not going to hide his gun because there is a law saying he can't tuck it in his pocket?

No, but allowing to legally carry guns around at places where immature kids are bound to have heated arguments etc. is beyond stupid.

Um, the kids can't carry the guns.

RIght, schools full of 1. tiny kids that don't know what they're doing/the dangers of guns and may come across one by accident 2. older kids that are fucking assholes and want to threaten someone/are going through shitty lives and let things spiral out of control in their heads (as teenagers do) and have the capability to take a gun (or are old enough to own one)3. teach/visitors/general outsiders Are the perfect places for concealed weapons. No added danger in that at all, no need to be concerned. Concealed guns in schools you say? Why not! Law passed!

If a gun is found by a child, someone already messed up. I'm not sure concealed carry impacts this scenario.

If you are worried about older kids taking someones gun, then you should probably be in favor of concealed carry as it conceals the weapon. Also, older kids in high school wouldn't be able to legally carry a concealed weapon in high school.

Not sure what you mean by "teach/visitors/general outsiders", but if you are worried about people bringing a concealed gun in to do bad things, I doubt the law has much impact on that as they could have done that before too.

Just heard the first mention of video games....but it was in reference to the kids being able to separate this reality from stuff like games. Of fucking course they will be able to tell the difference.

@JasonR86: This is the same stuff that everyone says after every shooting. And nothing ever gets done (not that I think anything will get done now either). You need to talk about when it's fresh in people's minds. What happened is fucking horrible so the talk should immediately go to how we stop this from ever happening again. We could wait and let some time pass and then nobody cares. And then the cycle repeats.

Everyone is going to care about shootings in schools forever and ever. Making rash decisions when people are upset doesn't help anyone.

@TheRealJpoe: It's the guns, the games, and the movies, ban em all so everyone will be safe. That's how we roll, blame everything but the idiot who decided to kill all those poor people.

"If a gun is found by a child, someone already messed up" 
Best solution: don't allow guns in schools, especially 'concealed' guns that go unaccounted for.

Worst thing to do right now: Allow concealed guns in schools!

That's shitty. Don't use tragedy to push political agenda. Especially immediately after the tragedy. Assholes.

When's the right time then? When the next shooting happens? It's already too late.

It hasn't even been a day. Mourn for a second or two. Regardless, I don't even know if keeping concealed guns would have any effect at all on shootings positive or negative. There's a lot we don't know about how such a law would effect school violence. I can't imagine simply having a gun in school would increase or really decrease the number of school shootings. There's just not enough out there. But no matter what would happen or whether that law should come to pass or not bringing it up now just plays on the emotions of shocked people. Few people are going to be thinking rationally about guns and schools right now. Maybe not for a while. Wait to talk about this shit until we all have a moment to digest what has happened and can think clear. On the very day of a tragedy is not a time to be discussing the implementation of laws. There's too much emotion right now.

And, to me anyway, it looks like someone playing on the emotions of people who are vulnerable right now. That really bothers me.

Don't you think that maybe the people who are so aghast are that way specifically because they do mourn the deceased? Frankly, it's insulting that you would assume that their demand for change is based entirely on a dogmatic political agenda.

most of the people commenting on gun laws in this thread have no understanding of their local, state, or national gun laws. internet.
