Intriguing. Under the Texas Carry laws, none of the students could legally carry these weapons in public, and assuming that none of them were authorized to do so (a safe bet), they committed another offense by bringing them into a school. Obviously, the solution is to Do Something by passing several more laws that can be ignored. Do Something is likewise popular in Mediocrevilleburgton, where we had rash of gun murders committed last year by convicted felons who could not legally own guns, youths who could not legally own guns, and a wife-beater who could not legally own a gun, with nearly all the weapons being of the illegal variety themselves with scratched-off serial numbers and such. The odd guy out who used a rifle was a convicted felon AND mental patient who could not legally own a gun. No doubt another law or two will deter miscreants like these.
And–what is it with these Texas reactionaries? The police there investigated these tips and actually did something, unlike Chris Wray’s G-Men, the Broward County schools, and Broward County’s progressive law enforcement. Surely these Texans are giving a bad name to government employees. At least a couple of these Texas schools seem to have and use metal detectors. Don’t they realize they are just priming the school-to-prison pipeline?
tp: Of course you’re right. At this point laws can’t do much. Every inch of the country is covered in weaponry, which makes it a cinch for anyone to get hold of anything.
The amount of weaponry, and the destructiveness of the weaponry, grows by the minute.
Stephen Paddock was just the beginning – we’ll look back on him as marking the early halcyon innocent massacre days.

So what do we do?
