An accident? Imagine for one moment that teenagers didn’t have access to guns nor would they bring them to school. The shooting may well have been accidental, but having guns at school would make it a fated accident.

More guns is the answer. You can argue it all you want, but it's part of what makes America America.

So why was there a gun at school and why an accident.
These shootings really are beginning to be “just another school shooting, just another life lost”
Increasing rates of death and injury due to inadvertent/negligent discharge is a statistical inevitability of putting more guns in schools, and just one among the many, many reasons it is an exceptionally stupid idea.

Are guns not metal anymore?

Jussa 'nother day in 'Merika. Poop happens, right? It was 100% accident, with no one to blame. The fact that someone had a gun doesn't phase them in the least and doesn't even seem to come up as the major factor in this incident.

Sometimes not. Kids going in and out of a school every day will know other methods of getting things in and out of said school though.

It is hard to see how it was accidental with one dead and two people injured. Generally unintentional
discharges are not going to fire more than one bullet.

Getting shot. In high school. On accident.

There you go -- the problem IS guns! You can't blame "mental health" for this one!

As America is now in its “post logic and reason” phase, there is almost no chance that positive steps to control gun violence can be made. We are manipulated on all sides by special interests who profit from social divisions.
indeed, my own comments above will be read differently by people on each side of the issue, though I am being purposely vague.

"We have a lot of unanswered questions. There are so many unknowns at this time."
Namely, why was there a firearm at a school.

We will see. The Florida House just passed a gun control bill which it had not done in many years. Every time one of these attacks goes off there action on one or more state levels. I'm not saying that is or isn't enough but saying nothing is done doesn't capture the full situation either.

If more people have guns, more people will have accidents
It's simply a matter of numbers

No, if people didn’t have guns they’d find some other way to accidentally kill each other.
