    The headline:
    At least 3 children and 3 adults killed in Nashville elementary school shooting

    The link: Live updates: Covenant school shooting in Nashville leaves multiple dead (cnn.com)

    The lede:"At least three children and three adults are dead after a shooting Monday at the Covenant School, a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, that teaches preschool through 6th grade, police said."

    The comment: Guns in the news.

    Again.

    And once more our laws, their level of enforcement, and our social programs were unable to avert this tragedy.

    Death by gunshot is one of the leading causes of death in children.*

    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    A person did this, blaming the gun for the 1000th time is simply pedantic. It’s “murder” in the news, but don’t let that get in the way of this nonsense again.

    wait, did the gun do this on its own? If so I apologize, OP.

    Hi, Buri.

    To answer your question with a question, did the shooter do this on her own [That is, without a gun and bullets?]

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    Taking bets on the shooter being some sort of trans activist and the story getting buried faster than it made the news....

    So, if he knifed them, you would be the type of person that would blame the knife.

    Hi, ricmortis.

    I did not use the word 'blame' in my post or in the responses to it thus far. Blame carries an emotional component, often one implying some form of restoration or punishment. That cannot occur with an inanimate object.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    why do you pretend that there is a reality where a shooter cannot get a gun?

    If you took my guns, how many lives would you expect to save?

    Hmm, that's odd. I own multiple firearms and not a single one of them has ever magically grown legs and walked out the door and shot someone. They must be defective....

    the murderer did this by their choice. I notice you never start threads about people murdered with a knife, like the woman who killed so many of her own kids recently. Sounds like a bangasm (I’m using that term from now on).

    People plow into crowds with cars all the time and get significantly higher body counts so... Yes. Yes, it can be done and often is done without bullets or guns. BTW the guns are constitutionally protected and cars are not.

    in many cases, there would be lives lost I suspect. I was wrong about Biden, he led off talking about ice cream.

    Gotta love liberal Democrats. They are the best gun salesmen in the world. Every time they threaten new gun legislation, people go out and buy 10 million more guns before it can be enacted....

    cops here ran right into where the shooter was and terminated the scum bag. "2 assault weapons" and of course Brain Dead Biden thinks banning guns will help. I bet that POS sells100,000 more "assault weapons"this month

    Until we make physical security a priority, this will never go away.

    Shouldn't need physical security in the first place. Guns aren't the problem. People are the problem. It's a societal issue. When I was in high school we all had shotgun and rifle racks in the back window of our pickups. And guess how many school shootings we had? Exactly zero...

    The school is in deep blue Davidson County. It's not unrealistic to think that some Leftist nutjob targeted a Baptist school.

    The shooter was supposedly a 28 year old woman. I am wondering if this wacko was an actual woman or one of those lefty "women" with a penis. The media seems to either not know or doesn't want to disclose information such as the shooter's name and details.
