Michigan School Shooting, 3 dead.

Maybe. Maybe not. Some kids are just not quite right. Was he another we'll find out was on mind altering g prescription drugs? In this particular case, the parents displayed really poor judgement. But they are NOT guilty of any form of manslaughter. This is 100% political.
No, it's 100% illegal to buy a 15 year old a handgun.

The focus should be on why the kid would pick up a gun and use it to kill people. There is a reason and the reason is not the gun. A kid picks up a gun and kills people. Immediately the discussion turns to the gun. Talk about missing the point...
 
So you want high schools with about 120 students?

The smallest high school I taught in was 270 students on an Army post. The largest was 3400+ students in the suburbs of a major city. There was no difference from a classroom perspective.

OBVIOUSLY a classroom is about the same size. You were an administrator. You see no difference as an admin between a 270 student school and a 3400 student school???

Okay, but it also misses the point that you can't carry out a mass shooting without a gun.

Oh please. The gun is not the problem here. It’s people like you that focus on it instead of the obvious. Our society is suffering from it’s crumbling foundation brought about by radical leftist, ‘progressive,’ radical garbage.
 

Excerpt:

he day before the shooting
On Monday, a teacher saw the suspect looking at photos of ammunition on his cell phone during class, which prompted a meeting with a counselor and another staff member. During that discussion, the student told them that he and his mother had recently gone to a shooting range and that "shooting sports are a family hobby," Throne wrote in the letter.
The school tried to reach the student's mother that day, but didn't hear back until the following day when his parents confirmed the student's story, Throne said.
After school officials reached out to Jennifer Crumbley regarding her son searching the web for ammunition, she texted him saying, "LOL I'm not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught," prosecutors have said.
None of which is particularly ‘damning’ – not for firearm hobbyists and enthusiasts.

And yet again – this is more a clash of cultures, gunowners and non-gunowners.
 
The student’s parents never advised the school district that he had direct access to a firearm or that they had recently purchased a firearm for him,” Mr. Throne wrote.
Is there a law requiring the parents to do so – absent such a law this is irrelevant and inflammatory.

Again, the issue isn’t the responsibility of the parents per se; rather, the issue is the severity of the punishment sought and the lack of appropriate laws and measures concerning firearms in the home with minor children.

There’s no law, but when your son’s school brings to your attention the fact that he’s planning, or at least fantasizing about a shooting, you ought to warn the school you recently bought him a gun.

There’s no legal requirement, but it was retarded and dangerous for them not to have made that connection.

I already pointed out that the counselor knew this was a sports shooting family.

The lack of appropriate laws may have led to it, or these parents may have ignored it. No one knows. If they did, though, charging them would be easier. I predict those laws on safe storage will be coming to Michigan, too late.

Yes, you've totally missed the point that other developed nations that discussed the gun don't have America's firearm homicide problem.
I know that will continue, exceptionalism is exceptional after all.

American culture includes the right to bear arms. Those who would abridge that right are not real Americans.
