Unfortunately the rumor mill continued even after the family spoke out asking people not to believe the rumors. And some of the people calling it a cover up are going off the report that the grandfather said they were told by the sheriff's office that he was found in his bed while they are...

Apparently it came from one of the campus buildings around 200 yards away. Not sure if they would do a security check on the buildings around without some sort of knowledge of a threat

He had to go through two different background checks, one at the local/state level and then another one at the federal level. Had anything popped up he would have been denied. The supporting systems need to be fixed. <modsnip: quoted post was modsnipped>

They didn't have any automatic weapons, the pistol and rifle were semiautomatic. In order to purchase them. As of right now they haven't released any information on when and where the guns were purchased. IMO I don't think it would seem odd that he bought three of them. Some people will buy...

The process is most definitely flawed but nothing gets done about fixing the flaws until something bad happens. Non public schools Schools had asked for more money in 2022 and 2023 for security from the state and the legislature didn't pass any bills for it. So theresls been failures across...

They did have to apply for a transfer permit to get both the pistol and the rifle meaning they had to do a separate background check before doing the federal background check when they bought the gun. Neither background check came up with anything that would have prevented the purchase. I'm not...

I agree, just pointing out that they could have obtained the firearms for cheaper than what most people would realize.

I think the difference in thinking comes down to being a gun owner and not being a gun owner. Three guns and 3-400 rounds of ammo isn't a lot to a gun owner but I can see how someone who doesn't own guns would see it as an arsenal. For some, that's an average amount of ammo going to the range...

You're welcome. I didn't realize how cheap the Taurus pistols were because I've never really looked at them but have looked at their revolvers and they can be fairly expensive. When I read that the pistol was jammed, my first thought was probably a Hi-Point or one of the bottom end Taurus...

Most Taurus pistols can be bought new for $300 or less. If he bought a Mossberg 88, those are usually around $250 new. There are several AR clones that can be had new for around $500. All on the very cheap side for buying guns. I'm interested in when he bought them because if he bought them...

But the problem is most of the signs are there when they are teenagers and nothing is really done to get them help.

Which I completely understand that line of thinking but when the behavior is repeated time and time again, something needs to be done. They said they had been suspended for talking about school shootings but never had to talk to anyone about it. Just disheartening to see the same pattern time...

Yeah but he wasn't a school shooter

Just Ethan Crumbley but he was 15 and his parents bought him the pistol along with not caring about what was happening with their son Edit. Forgot to add Colin Gray, the father of the Georgia school shooter in 2024
