School Shootings


If we had proper gun laws, he wouldn't have been able to buy a gun. If he stole the gun I was working on a what comes around story about Trump, when life became serious. Another school shooting.    
This one took place in Florida, over 150 miles south of me. I cried more tears for this one, not because it was in my state, but because it happened again.
The shooter was a young man, who tortured and killed small animals as a child, a sure sign of a serious mental problem. If family members didn't know the meaning of such acts, the kid must have done other things that should have given them reason take him to a doctor.  
Someone contacted the FBI tip line in January about his threats to do a school shooting, both verbal and on his social media. The tip was never passed to the Miami FBI office so it was not investigated. Seventeen people would still be alive if the FBI had understood any threat to shoot up a school, should be put in the proper hands immediately and followed up on.
Where did he get the gun?
Currently, there is an idiot running for office, here in Florida. His name is Richard Corcoran and he is running for speaker of the Florida house. His ad is an illegal alien shooting a young lady. Not a word about the gun.  Being an illegal didn't murder the girl, the gun in his hand did.  What if his ancestors were Pilgrims, would it make a difference to her family.   
and the person he took it from didn't have it secured properly in a gun safe, they could also be liable in the murder. No, excuses if the person gave or sold him the gun. If he was able to buy the gun from an authorized gun store, that store would pay a heavy fine, and lose their licenses to deal in guns as well as being open to a wrongful death suit by the girl's parent.
I am not anti-guns. My father was a hunter, I grew up with them. I am retired military and a gun owner.  My son, a retired police officer has a gun, and of course my grandson carries a gun because he is a police officer.
If you shoot a deer with more than a single shot you can ruin the meet. It only takes a hand gun to protect your home.  Anything bigger and automatic is only of use to criminals, to shoot at civilians and police. If you are unsure how I feel about that, read the previous paragraph.
Remember if you are a Florida resident don't vote for Richard Corcoran, not even for dog catcher.  Finally, I do not belong to the NRA, because their loyalties are to gun manufactures, protecting our constitutional right is a way to get citizens to join and pay dues. They don't care about us.
