When I was a kid, all guns had trigger locks and were also locked in a gun cabinet or rack. I do the same...
Mine too...and my father's before...yet I never had a problem finding where he hid the key to the gun locker or the liquor cabinet when I was a kid. When he got a locker with a combination lock I was able to hone my future hacking skills figuring out the combination....which turned out to be easy, he had it written down on a piece of paper he kept in his wallet.
Point is...there is no such thing as foolproof security and an determined person will find a way to breach security standing in between themselves and what they want. That's not saying not to take reasonable security measures...but it's not a panacea.
Rule 1: Shit happens
Rule 2: When all your best precautions fail, refer to rule 1.
You're probably right.
Yes, he had hours to change his mind.From all accounts, the shooter was a well liked, normal boy. It was just a quick mindless action that prompted the boy because he was embarrassed. The locked gun would have saved lives.
It wasn't quick, he took the gun went to school, either drove or walked, took a bus?
The shooting took place at 10:43 am, several hours after school started.
This was a intentional shooting.
So it wasn't a "quick mindless action," he had time to think over his actions.

Your are right it was not a quick mindless action. Today I read he actually texted his friends and family members ( who he shot) to meet him in the cafeteria.
We have no good reason. He had hours to change his mind. If only...
