    Break Room = NO POLITICS!!

    Let's keep the impeachment out of this thread please. We already have a thread for that.
    I recommend moving this thread to Gen Pol. Nothing is more political in 2019 than a shooting at a school, except for maybe the current impeachment debacle.

    Maybe since the shooter's now dead, we can get his name? If the name gets out, research into whether anything could have been done to prevent or have headed this off can be done.

    Good that this info is coming out along with the shooter's name.

    Seems to be some speculation rather than actual fact in that LA Times report? Not above public relations LEO's to gracefully exaggerate "arsenals" that they seize either.

    Hopefully we'll see more sources on this.

    Both Clinton and Obama were relative nobodies at the start of their campaigns. Clinton beating a real "somebody" Bush, and Obama beating Clinton, then McCain.

    Clinton came from a field of little big name competition, then became a media darling they made a star. Obama became a big star at the 2004 dem convention and a media darling, he beat the vaunted Clinton machine. Trump became a media star because the media thought he would be easy to defeat in the election after he took out the republican field. Jokes on them...

    Looks like shooter used a homemade “ghost gun” !

    Did not know this was such a big thing ?

    https://ghostguns.com/content/4-about-us

    Looks like a issue in California ?

    https://www.thetrace.org/2019/05/ghost-gun-california-crime/

    Pretty thin, LA Times has had a bug up their ass about "ghost guns" before, maybe they just want that to be the case whether it is ultimately confirmed or not. Not that many P80 .45s floating around.

    At some point, you just have to ban all metal and tooling right? Any chunk of metal is a potential lower.

    ^this!
    All plastic as well since you can make a gun from that as well.
    Oh let's all wood to that as well since again you can make agun out of that material.

    There is no way you can stop it. :facepalm:

    As for the 16 year old shooter, nb, my guess is that this was a lovers dispute. He had a gf, he killed another girl, and 2 boys. They probably did him wrong, in his mind, somewhere along the line. Smart kids, honors, athletic.

    News is reporting that the shooter has now died. Cue the Moms Mabley quote.

    A murderer of children... They say you ain't supposed to say nothin about the dead unless it's good. He's dead, GOOD!--Moms Mabley

    I was hoping they'd get a chance to question this one. So many unanswered questions.

    Nathaniel Berhow, according to LA Tx.

    Apparently the "late" father owned firearms, but since he's not around to vilify, I'm guessing this story goes into the ash-bin quickly.

    Shortly after the shooting, WBBM 780 reported Police have identified the make and model gun used but not yet releasing info. Reporting later has continuously implied use of a Ghost gun, I believe the left is going to make a hard run at 80% lowers because of this.

    Hunters education in school taught students how to handle firearms safely and respectfully. At some point kids who are curious about guns will need guidance from someone. I would even say if a parent owns a gun, the child is more likely to be curious about guns. It's hard to keep them out of sight out of mind if there's a gun safe in the house.
