    A kid should never have to worry about such a thing. Yet still, this is really happening. Heart-breaking. I think if I had a child and was in this situation, I couldn't hold up my brave parent face and would have broken down crying, that my baby is thinking about things like this. It even hurts me that a child I do not even know, is thinking about things like this.

    Do you play dominoes ? Ok, and one day very soon you won't need your 1st Amendment right. As long as you agree to never post or speak in public, we won't put you in prison. A problem exists, yes. You wouldn't solve a problem by removing the paper that it is written on, would you ? It seems to me these children are not receiving the care and friendship of a healthy community. A healthy community begins with trust; trust in each other and not to tolerate abusiveness from anyone. A healthy community is built upon a foundation of equality, self respect, and respect for others. Without trust, equality, and respect, history shows us that violence will only escalate. Our children need good examples from the adults in our society to stop poisoning the planet with hate, distrust, separation, greed, nuclear weapons, and war. Blaming the children in any of these alleged shootings, solves the problem about as much as making all the guns magically disappear.

    Is it more shocking than the hundreds or should I say thousands of children that die in alcohol-related drunk driving accidents? Are you a trade show for that where's the CNN Town Hall over that. I mean really I don't have a gun never shot a gun I could care less if you take away all the guns but your selective outrage is ridiculous

    Active shooter drills should not have to be a thing. Especially in elementary school. When I was in 9th grade my high school had a shooting the year before and lockdown drills as we called them were new. But in elementary school all we had to worry about were possible fires and earthquakes. Kids should not have to grow up so fast. We need to fix this. Guns should not be so easy to get hold of.

    Here in what is supposed to be the most grand country, it is truly heartbreaking that someone as young as an 8 year old girl has to worry about being shot. I don't think taking away guns will solve this problem, however, because do you think someone who would go as far as to shoot young children would give their firearm to the government? The best we can do is to try and protect the innocent, and make America what it should be!

    well, sigh, it's not that easy - you can't "recall" guns that are already out there - and - check this out (if you can't beat them, join them): 5 American cities that require you to own a gun 1. Kennesaw, Georgia Kennesaw has the most well-known gun mandate in the country. In 1982, a law was passed requiring heads of households to own at least one firearm. Other cities have used Kennesaw as an example for gun mandates 2. Nelson, Georgia Nelson unanimously passed an ordinance making gun ownership mandatory in 2013. 3. Nucla, Colorado Nucla became the first city to mandate gun ownership in Colorado. With just around 700 people, Nucla passed what they call the "Home Protection Ordinance" in 2013, but does not actually enforce it. 4. Gun Barrel City, Texas Gun Barrel got its fitting name as a safe haven for outlaws like Bonnie and Clyde during the Prohibition era. The city's motto is "We shoot straight with you." 5. Virgin, Utah In 2000, the city council passed an ordinance making fi

An eight-year-old was worried about her shoes, and she MIGHT get killed? Some girls around the world show their ankles and they WILL get killed. Sure some school shootings happen and I get why we are practicing active school shootings, but if you think about it, in the 1700's they were raping and killing girls all the time. They didn't have guns!

    So a THINKING person who did their own investigation might find out that during this incident there was another drill OF this situation IN this location. One might find out that during Columbine, there was a drill of that exact situation, in that same location - and that multiple seniors from that incident saw people dressed like a SWAT team firing heavily into windows. One might realize there was a drill of a public shooting right where the Aurora man - having skipped at least 3 closer theaters that allowed guns - went into the gun-free theater and wreaked havoc. Sandy Hoax had a drill of a school shooting exactly where and when the incident allegedly occurred. San Bernardino had that whole section of town blocked for a drill of a mass shooting exactly where and when it supposedly occurred. London subway bombing had a drill right in the subway, right there, right when the bombing occurred. Spanish train bombing had a drill of a train bombing right as the bombing happened - Again.

    THEN if one did a little effort - and if facebook, Google and the others have stopped their intentional censorship of anything not in line with the standard storyline - you might find that interview with the blond, senior, female student who was EVACUATING THE BUILDING WITH THE ALLEGED (?) SHOOTER AS SHOTS WERE FIRED IN ANOTHER PORTION OF THE BUILDING!!! Even if the kid did shoot the school up - this shows another shooter - which is typical of these incidents. Oh - let's not forget 9/11 - where there were ELEVEN DRILLS exactly through the affected areas. Cheney managed to change traditional Air Force exercises so that they were off in the North Atlantic instead of over NE USA as they normally had been for YEARS - and so there was literally ONE fighter capable of intercepting anything - but Cheney took control of the FAA radar system and shut it down from the White House basement.... One who THOUGHT instead of getting brainwashed by an obvious agenda would start a question going.

    Australians don't know whether to laugh or cry. We are horrified by what we are hearing. Since gun control was enacted back in the 1990s we have NOT HAD ONE MASS SHOOTING! Domestic shootings have crashed and now, pretty much the only people with illegal guns are the criminals who will get them no matter what we do. Only Australians legally allowed guns are defence force personnel (and not in public) police (in public) farmers (only on their farm) security guards (only on the armoured vehicle) commercial shooters (only in their trucks) sporting shooters (only at the gun club/rifle range). Police here check their gun owners in their own districts every two years and every single licensed gun has to be accounted for and the storage comply with regulations - gun and ammo separately kept.

    May clearly be the case if teachers can carry a gun. Can you imagine, the teacher with a gun lurking around the corner with gun drawn and a cop around another corner lurking with their gun drawn and they both jump out. You can imagine what will happen next.

    A teacher in Utah shot herself in the bathroom by accident in 2014. You can watch Youtube videos of enraged teachers smashing instruments or throwing things at students. I don't trust anybody with a gun in such a tense situation -- even a teacher.

    Bill O'Reilly is a pig. He's discounting the reactions of children who've been shot at or had friends die, and given more credence to the adults who watch this happen and refuse to protect them. He must be in the pocket of the NRA

    Not to mention, most of the school shooters commit suicide or are pushing for suicide by cop anyway, so ANYONE having a gun at the school wouldn't help.

    I know it can be unpopular. I’m from Brazil, where guns aren’t easily purchased as in USA. I’m against such an easy way to get your hands on powerful guns, but the problem is more deep rooted. The true problem is not the guns. The true problem is that a person have a killing will in his heart. Are we ignoring the fact that someone -wanted- to kill a lot of teenagers? Why? There is more than just guns wrong in United States. There is killings with knives and rocks too. We need to work on creating children that don’t want to kill others. A society that doesn’t let violence grow. Armed or not.

    of course, and that teacher will have to live with that for the rest of her or his life. Teachers teach students about life; they should never be expected to take a life.

    I wonder how he'd feel if someone walked into his grand kids schools and shot them. But its sad to even think that the death of his own child might change his heart while the death of 200 other children have had no effect. Its sad....
