14 year old student shot in the back of the neck by another student after "an argument". Fortunately he will be OK.

It's not the guns, it's your society that is wrapped around violence.
-
Guns do not need to be banned, they need to be kept out of the hands of felons and the dangerously mentally ill.

-
Anyone, regardless of age, who is found guilty of 1st or 2nd degree murder in a public setting should get an automatic life sentence in jail.
-
Looks like that assault weapon ban sure is doing a lot of good.
-
We must need more gun-free zones.
-
OH OKAY NOW VIOLENCE AGAINST MINORITIES MATTERS RIGHT
-
America isn't having more school shootings its just that the media is just deciding to pay more attention to them.
-
So I guess we're in the phase where every shooting is now a national news story. Yay propaganda.
-
Ah, America. The land where the government and its citizens support ideas and policies that have proven to be dangerous failures.
-
How about...you just get rid of the guns? I mean, the queen of England won't be able to do much against the American army right? So what makes people think that she would ever get the chance of making it through the army to the common household?

I stabbed someone in the neck with scissors at school when I was 14 if that counts. Ban scissors.
-
Maybe the guns aren't the problem. Maybe it is the person holding it. The gun is a tool, and like every tool; it can be used for both good and bad.
-
America: Public access to guns is good. Derp.
-
With all these school shootings, you'd think they'd have the decency to ban school...
-
I wouldn't dream of carrying a gun to school in this day and age, especially not if I was in eighth grade. When I was that age I was still, well, uh you know, childish[more so than now]! I also think it would be pretty darn weird going to a school with a metal detector.
-
I think we should start charging people with jail time if they can't keep their guns secure. If your kid steals your gun, YOU SHOULD ALSO FACE JAIL TIME. Just like if your kid takes your car and runs a red light, PARENTS HAVE TO PAY THE GOD DAMN FINE. There should be repurcussions for neglegence.

Edited by FoMan123: 2/1/2013 8:05:23 PMSchool violence has NEVER been unusual. Teenage boys get into an argument, hormones fly around, and one brings a weapon to school the next day. Stupid, idiotic behavior that we should never condone -- but not unusual. We should be focusing on stopping and preventing MASS shootings by psychopaths, not two kids in an argument.
-
This really isn't surprising. That area looks like the ghetto.
-
*Sees Atlanta* Gang issue. Not a gun issue.
-
Ban students
-
ban arguments
-
This would not have happened if we were just allowed to ban schools. No schools, no school shootings. Duh! Common sense.
-
So what is the solution for a shooting if we take away guns from responsible people? Duck and cover? What a joke.
-
I guess the shooter got mad. If people are still actually sensitive to these sort of shootings, then the media is doing a bad job. If people want gun violence to stop, then they themselves need to take the step to change society and not try to make more laws.
