Suspect in Maryland school shooting in custody
(AP) – 2 minutes ago
PERRY HALL, Md. (AP) — Police say a suspect is in custody after the shooting of a student on the first day of classes at a high school near Baltimore.
Baltimore County police say the Perry Hall High School student was flown to a hospital after being shot Monday morning. Police say a suspect was taken into custody after the shooting but did not provide additional details.

Jody, if we take your approach and have everyone packing can you guarantee that with 600 million guns there will be no more gun violence? I guess it's ridiculous to ask someone to guarantee something like that huh?
We should have mandatory sentencing laws for criminals who use guns in the commission of crimes, and illegal possession of weapons.
We should have waiting periods and background checks. i.e. We should put into place things that make it tougher for criminals to get more guns but don't' have unreasonable restrictions on law abiding citizens ability to get guns.
An average 13 children under the age of 19 are killed each day by gunfire and more are injured. Do we just accept that or try to figure out ways to reduce it?

You never lifted a finger with regard to the Patriot Act, you even argued strongly in favor of it if memory serves.
You've come out against gay marriage, so you don't seem to be concerned the principal of equal rights.
You seem only to care about the Constitution when it comes to the second amendment, which of course is fine, but why not just admit that you do not see the Constitution as a whole, and only care about those portions with which you agree.
Bush and Obama's trampling of the constitution with regard to things like extraordinary rendition, assassinating American citizens, etc., has had far more real consequences on limiting our freedoms than the fart in the wind gun control discussion that occur in the US from time to time; ironic that you're in favor of those policies for the sake of safety and security, yet piss on and insult anyone who even suggests a slight tightening of the gun control laws.

I'm still waiting for a workable plan to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
That may be asking too much from the pro-gun control crowd here.
So how about just coming up with a workable way to keep guns out of the hands of parolees - who have no more rights on the streets than they did in The Joint.

We have seen here a number of fairly detailed approaches from the
"pro gun control crowd".
But I don't remember there being anything from the
"pro shooters crowd".
All we hear generally is moaning over the 2nd amendment.
Now Chaz wants convicted felons not to have access to weapons. Is this view shared by all of you in the "pro shooters crowd". Is there agreement even in this case?
If there is, let's hear Chaz's approach to achieving same.
Chaz:
Are you really this trivial?
"F#cking up " is not defined in the US code.
Does anyone ever talk to you?
I am not being pejorative.
This is like way way off the page.

I took a look at your link on Wiki. Perhaps it was left off because of insufficient confirmation or other factor. Over 380 by a separatist group makes it a civil war rather than an incident arising from the actions of a single person. Awful.

When you take the following

the fact the US has more "nucular" weapons than any other nation, is quite frankly
