    Another school shooting in Florida today

    Prayers go out to all of the victims, their families and friends who were also affected and all of the kids that had to live through that nitemare.

    How does a psycho full grown man walk into a school wearing a gas mask ans sporting an AR-15 not get seen? I realize he shot two people outside that saw him, but you would think the noise of a couple of 223 rounds would get somebodys attention quick. I have fired plenty of those rounds and they are not quiet.

    He pulls the fire alarm to get everyone out of their classes and then it was like shooting fish in a barrel. When are people going to learn that armed guards need to be at the entrance to a school to prevent these types of psychos from making tragedies like this happen. Pretty sad day for America.

    Amazing how they just walk into the school. Our elementary, Jr. high, and high school's doors are locked. You are buzzed in and escorted to your destination.

    Talk about phony BS, if you believed in gun control you would go turn yours in with the ammo.

    Take the guns away and they use knives. One used a rented home depot truck. Whatever you decide to take away, if the person is a nutcase, they will still find a way to carry out their insane hatred to whatever end they want it to be. This kid was a nut, he was a problem child long before he carried out his slaughter, and the teachers and admins at the school knew it. He was kicked off of the campus and he was not allowed to carry a backpack when he was there.

    From the earlier rant I have reported, you could draw the same conclusion that somebody else is also teetering on the edge and should be watched.

    Exactly....That is how the crazies are, they think everybody but them is messed up in the head. Take them away from those who are spouting garbage, as it seems that those who have no self control are the ones likely to snap. How about just remove the idiots from society, they are the ones making it hard for the "normal" sane people who go about their lives without causing any kind of mass carnage.

    The next time someone shoots up a school with a flintlock, I'll turn my smoke holers in....in the meantime, stop circling the wagons around the NRA and accept the fact that you, I and all of us are part of the problem. It's time to put the NRA and their Republican shills on short notice...as far as I'm concerned, anyone who hunts with an AR or AK, or even considers an AR or AK as a sporting rifle are idiots ....

    I did some minor editing. I will let people vent for a bit while I decide what to do with this thread. Try to keep it somewhat civil.

    Bless your little heart Polly. You are imagining things again. I never said anything about the NRA. I do not belong to the NRA. Are you going to apologize for that comment? So according to you I have an 11 year old Great Neice that is an idiot. She has been killing deer and hogs since she was 9 with an AR type 6.5 Grendel. She is also a straight A student. I'll not tell her that you think her an idiot. If I did she would want to Pray for you.

    Maybe you are part of the problem, But none of the guns I own as a American citizen have hurt ANYONE. Nor any of my friends or family.

    Sporting rifle?? What the heck is that?

    Hunting with a fully automatic AR or AK in fully automatic mode, why yes, not very prudent. but the semi-automatic version of these rifles make a great weapon to hunt with..

    Oh just in case to try to go down the road that the 2nd amendment is for hunting... It has nothing to do with hunting, unless it comes time to hunting traitors and tyrants..

    F...k your f...king prayers and your phony BS
    And I ask, what did I do that deserved that? I do feel for those who were killed and the parents and friends of those who were killed and wounded in this senseless act of violence. Are you trying to take away my free speech as well as my guns? I try to put out some prayers for people I do not even know and get attacked for it?

    That is exactly the type of crap that creates these types of problems, people spreading hate where nothing but sympathy and sincerity has been expressed. SMDH

    In fact, this particular guy had been reported to the FBI for the rants he had been making...
    Last fall, a Mississippi bail bondsman and frequent YouTube vlogger noticed an alarming comment left on one of his videos. "I'm going to be a professional school shooter," said a user named Nikolas Cruz.
    The YouTuber, 36-year-old Ben Bennight, alerted the FBI, emailing a screenshot of the comment and calling the bureau's Mississippi field office. He also flagged the comment to YouTube, which removed it from the video.


    Agents with the bureau's Mississippi field office got back to him "immediately," Bennight said, and conducted an in-person interview the following day, on Sept. 25.
    "They came to my office the next morning and asked me if I knew anything about the person," Bennight told BuzzFeed News. "I didn't. They took a copy of the screenshot and that was the last I heard from them."


    FBI agents contacted Bennight again Wednesday, after a 19-year-old named Nikolas Cruz allegedly opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida, killing at least 17 people.


    In the wake of the deadly shooting, questions have emerged over whether officials and acquaintances had missed warning signs about the alleged shooter, a former student who was expelled from the high school last year for disciplinary reasons.


    Classmates, relatives, and neighbors have described Cruz as a troubled "loner" who often talked about guns and flaunted his obsession with weapons on his social media accounts. And Jim Gard, a math teacher at the school, told the Miami Herald that the teen had previously been identified as a potential threat to other students.
    Though his name matches the YouTube user flagged in September, FBI officials would not say whether they have confirmed that the account belonged to Cruz.

    But around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday — about 30 minutes after Cruz was taken into custody by police in Broward County — Special Agent Ryan Furr with the FBI's Miami field office called Bennight and left him a voicemail.


    "I think we spoke with you in the past about a complaint that you made about someone making a comment on your YouTube channel," the agent said in the message, which Bennight provided to BuzzFeed News. "I just wanted to follow up with you on that and ask you a question with something that's come up, if you wouldn't mind giving me a ring."


    A few hours later, Bennight said, FBI agents in Mississippi visited him again in person, pressing for more information about the YouTube user Nikolas Cruz.
    "They asked me if I knew who he was. I didn't. I don't," Bennight said. "Then they left."

    Warning signs missed even though he was reported. Gives me an idea....

    As a tragic event were understanding the saying, see something, report something would have gone a long way solving this problem. Guess a lot of people knew this man was a serious threat.
