I don't understand how these kids obtain the guns. It's maddening.

LOCK YOUR GUNS!

Exactly. Two things make me absolutely angry with these stories.

A) The aholes that take this moment to immediately put a political spin on it before anyone knows the details. 

B) how these kids get firearms. I have two safes in my house and there's absolutely zero chance in hell any of my kids are ever getting in them.

Folks here are responsible about guns and other things.  We probably all are pretty good drivers too.  A lot of folks think the gun is "hidden", or even don't care.

My wife turned on the news last night over dinner, which we rarely do.  The Madison Congressman was on giving his take, which was entirely about how we needed gun control, of some sort.  My wife noted he was rather vague.

These events, as noted above, always generate this sort of commentary.  And then ....

Biden calls for tougher gun-control laws after Madison school shooting

Biden noted steps his administration has taken to combat gun violence, including the passage of the most significant gun-safety legislation in nearly 30 years. “But more is needed,” he said.

He called on Congress to pass “commonsense” gun safety laws, such as universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and a national “red flag” law that would allow police or family members to get a court order to temporarily confiscate firearms from a person who may present a danger to others or themselves.

It might be easier to take Biden seriously if he didn't pardon folks convicted of gun crimes.

I think these politicians all keep a press release already written for any larger gun event, their staff then fill in the blanks of the details.

They all say they want common sense gun control, the steps involved often have naught to do with the actual shooting.  Knee jerk.

Predictable.  

As with many things these days, any "common sense" actual discussion of the topic is impossible because both "sides" are so entrenched in their mottos.

Or if he got back to that crime bill he wrote during the Clinton Administration.

So, this 15y/o girl got the gun somehow.

If it was obtained from an unlocked position, the gun's owner should also be charged with murder.

Hmmm, now that’s an interesting gun control approach.
