    This time in Cleveland...

    http://www.breakingnews.ie/world/mhmhkfojgbcw/

    "US police officers have been seen running into a Cleveland high school where a suspected shooter is a 14-year-old student who was apparently upset about a suspension.

    There are unconfirmed reports that two victims are both male teachers at the school.

    The shootings reportedly took place on the 3rd and 4th floor. It is unclear at this time whether the gunman is in custody.

    There are unconfirmed reports that students and teachers are hiding and taking cover inside the building."

    Sky News are reporting that at least 3 people have been shot (don't know if they're dead).

    The bloke walked in with 2 guns and opened fire. They also say the shooter is dead.

    That's crazy. They're saying on sky that he was in a fight at school earlier in the week and this was his first day back. :(

    Wonder is it only a matter of time before the word gunkid or gunboy gets used in these scenarios...

    There will probably be another school shooting within the next 2 months. These are happening so regularly now the shock factor is gone.

    nothing politicians can do will really. it's the general American psyche it seems that causes the problem, simple law changes wont do anything. and regardless the democrats are still too conservative to do anything about it that might be effective as it would probably require some fundamental upheaval.

    Yea its just a hope, the chances are slim. Fundamental upheaval FTW!

    This is becoming such a common occurrence that it barely registers as news for me nowadays.

    I blame Marylin Manson, Sex in advertising and Internet chatrooms like these.

    If there were more violence on American Tv's, they wouldnt have this problem.

    Tomorrow on newstalk. :)

    Anyway, upset about a suspension?

    I was always delighted.
    3 days off without having to hide in my friend's house.

    Did anyone see that video on YouTube for that gunstore in the US? There is a link to it on Rick O Sheas 2fm page. Its an ad for store where you can rent cheap guns. Near the end the owner says something like "IM NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY, I JUST LOVE SHOOTING GUNS!". Its hard to believe that ad is real, and its seems so tragic, a symbol of the horrible gun culture in the US today.

    In the interests of clarity and just in case anyone thought different, the guns are for hire to use on the premises in their own indoor range; NOT for taking away to 'shoot something' and bring back when finished.

    Looks like you found a gap in the market.

    Ironic that a DJ with a name like his would point that out.

    Well, let's see.

    Illegal for a 14-year-old to own firearms. Check.
    Illegal to bring firearms to school. Check.
    Illegal to shoot at people. Check.

    Gotta love these laws designed to stop school shootings.

    I'm not, however, particularly surprised that those of the 'Only police should carry guns' opinion didn't mention the cop who killed six this week. One would have thought that would be more newsworthy than a student who didn't manage to kill anyone.

    NTM

    But I do love shooting guns!

    Seriously, though, I can't find the link on his page.

    Check out this one. I had to make sure it was a real advert, it did show on TV, and that the business really did exist. The greatest name for a gunstore ever.

    Great ad. :D (I'd hit it!)

    She would of gone to jail for that though I think.

    Hmm.. I don't know about that. I would need to look up Utah's laws on if its Castle Doctrine applied to property (Such as Texas) or only within the confines of the house (such as California). Even if in California, you probably could make a good 'reasonable fear for your life' argument.

    Of course, she would also need NFA permits for the assault rifle and silencer.

    1: No sidearms available to public, nothing but non-auto rifles.
    2: No gun licence without a solid steel gun safe.
    3: No guns for standard cops.

    I think these would help.

    i guess practice makes perfect, teaching young kids to shoot early is good for defending the country, erhm somewhere else :)

    That is fantastic. LOL.

    I said it before and I'll say it again, banning schools will eliminate these school shootings. But those fat cats in Washington just won't listen!!!

    I see on the news some teenager was arrested and cops found lots of weapons in his bedroom. Seems he was preparing for a Columbine style attack. The amount of weapons this child had in his posession is shocking.
