ok, well only 5 then were actually during school hours, so um why is everyone whinging? just the five incidents during school hours in a still open school on a school day? um how many deaths in that 5? and the ones that 'dont count' - a suicide on site, an accidental discharge - what the **** are guns doing in the classroom? any where on school grounds? i mean, god, well only the five then? in the 6 weeks of this year? wowee, lets celebrate a week where no mentally challenged person grabbed a gun and mowed down a few innocent kids or a teacher or two with an assault weapon! yeah ha, god bless america!

so how did this become the norm? that no one is shocked to the core? that anyone can stick an ONLY in any of these sentences?

TP, to some people who have power and influence over US gun laws, no deaths would count except their own --- and maybe not even those.

Since when is being "open" to something the same as "getting it done" ?
