What is wrong with people!

They want to be "internet famous." (like the last few... David Hogg included)

I have very mixed feelings on the responsibility issue. I have a bigger problem that they raised someone with so little regard for others than the fact that a gun was accessible. The kid in Santa Fe was 17. You didn’t have access to your dads guns at 17? I had access to them at 7. I just knew better.

Well said and I couldn't agree more....

This right here.

The local news was talking about this idiot this weekend and saying how social media is to blame as they posted his name an picture all over the place.

This ^^^^^ , and why I knew better was the sure and certain knowledge that my daddy would have beat the living hell out of me if I had acted ignorant with a gun. I started shooting daddy's old single barrel 12 ga. as soon as I could hold it up and never once had any thoughts of shooting anything other than game or snakes. When I expressed interest in shooting, he loaded it, aimed it at a small hickory sapling and cut it in two with one shot. It was pretty plain how much destruction came out of the end of the barrel, and a lesson I never forgot.

We live in a different world now though, and it ain't better.

This. I did too, and I had access to the cleaning tools, and I knew that I wanted to keep them clean. Dad taught me that. And he taught me that every gun is loaded. And he taught me to always know where the muzzle was. And he taught me to not play with them. At 7 or 8 I knew these things too.

So did my son. He's 26 now.

I am wondering if this isn't a case of some kids being scared to death and they are trying to protect themselves? Imagine if this was happening frequently and so close to home when you went to school. I'd prolly be packing too for my own safety. Hopefully this is why they had guns on them and not because of something evil. Lord help us.

bad parenting
social media 24/7
violent video games
vulgar music
everyone gets a trophy mentality
both parents working ( not involved in their kids life)
glorification of gun violence in movies

There is not a single answer as to why, but I think its a combination of all....

You cant stop this unfortunately....

AND we kicked God outta da school house

I don’t disagree with this sentiment, and my House was the same and we never thought twice about it. But I do believe if you own guns it is your responsibility to secure them to the best of your ability to prevent them from being used against your intentions.

I was merely pointing out that his comparison was not similar. There is a big difference in someone smash & grab your house and someone who has access because they live there. None of us ever believe it will be our kid that does something like this, but I couldn’t live with the thought of I could have prevented it by securing my guns.

You and the other post are right about how kids are raised without a respect of others that is the root. There are a number of contributing factors.

Nobody likes the economic impact of single income families. Our entire financial house of cards is built on earn more so you can spend more. Two earners equals twice the opportunity to earn and spend. The unintended consequence is we aren’t training up our children to be respectful & productive members of society.

This. I have most of my guns in the safe. I don't have kids at home anymore, but grandkids visit often. All know about guns and what they are for.

I agree. Growing up my grandpa kept a loaded 22mag beside his recliner. All us grandkids knew it was there and knew how to use it. We also knew if papaw caught us messing with it without his approval he would tan our hide. A little gun education would go a long ways for todays youth

When I said that parents need to be held responsible, it's two parts. The first and most important part is raising them right and being involved in their lives. The 2nd part is access to weapons.
