Texas School shooting 19 children and 2 adults murdered

Other states passed a law only 21 year old adults can buy a rifle.Theres no way all guns will be banned in america ,theres a tradition of owning guns ,hunting, especially in rural area,s and southern states. The strange thing about this case is the police stood outside the school for 30 minutes plus, while the shooter was inside .yes there was a locked door, they had to find a key to open it, but american police have all sorts of tools and weapons to deal with emergencys .

there should be in depth checks for anyone who wants to buy an automatic rifle.

there,s well funded political groups like the NRA who donate to republican politicans and will fight any attempt to bring in more gun control laws.

In the Senate, major legislation requires 60 votes to pass(due to filibuster rules). Currently, it is 50-50 so they will always need at least 10 republicans to pass something like this.

Heart attack risk soars soon after losing a loved one

May 1, 2012

Some events in life—like the death of someone important to you—are impossible to prepare for. If you find yourself mourning a spouse, family member, or close friend, take time to take care of yourself. That's the bottom line from a new study by researchers at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).

They found that a person's risk of having a heart attack skyrockets to 21 times its norm in the first day after the death of a beloved friend or family member. The heart attack rate remains eight times above normal during the first week, but then steadily declines over the course of a month. The physiological explanation for these findings is that intense emotions can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and the tendency for blood to clot—all of which raise the risk of a heart attack.

It's just stupid. What about cinemas where there has been mass shootings? Arm the people who work there? What about the concerts at Las Vegas? Arm the people in the band? What about the Buffalo store shooting last week? Arm the workers?

The other talking point they had was oh it's a mental disease until we find out there were no red flags with this guy. Then they shift to let's make sure all the doors in schools are locked. Anything to avoid discussing the main problem: how easy it is to get a gun here in the US.

I really believe the best way to change things is with incremental changes i.e. background checks, then a national registry, banning assault weapons. No single step will eliminate these types of shootings but one step at a time can help reduce it. Personally I think the 2nd needs to be repealed. The gun community(including some fans on here) have shown what they want i.e. their love of their previous guns, clouds their judgement on these topics. Go find another hobby.

Thanks! That’s really interesting

RTE have produced over a dozen articles on their page about this tragedy.

These American tragedies must be good for hits on their site.

The Texas Rangers said that local cops engaged the killer early in the incident and that it was right to wait for back-up. However, as Robert Moore said (see 2nd video on the following page), the problem with that defensive narrative is that, since Columbine, police protocol says that officers should enter the school immediately to engage the shooter regardless of the risk to their own lives.
