I believe there is a great deal of misinformation.

The shooter was not within the authority of any school district. He was 20 years old, so the discussion about how intervention per-Columbine is the way to effect a defeat of the shooter is completely outside the possibility of such intervention.

There were statements about an unconfirmed altercation between the deceased school principal and the deceased shooter the day before the killings. I believe someone is making it up to propose the 'idea' the principal had power that could have stopped the killings. That scenario sounds like an NRA strategist.

Creating myths is the purview of the NRA. It is difficult to confirm events of a deceased individuals.

I am not surprised the social media is taking on a counter culture all itself to justify the idea that guns are safe. They are not.

The shooter is as much a victim of the violent gun culture in the USA. If the guns were not available he could not purchase any.

There is no absolute control of a gun. It is designed to kill. There has never been a gun in the possession of a concealed carry license or permit that actually ended and/or stopped these killings. That reality alone speaks eons to the wrongful existence of guns within the American landscape.

The shooter in Arizona that wounded Gabby Giffords was taken down by the unarmed citizens as a community meeting during the brief period he was reloading.

Looking at some of the pictures of these children my heart aches. They are gorgeous kids that were happy, loved and secure. This can't happen again. Guns are out of control in the USA. We can't even stop them from migrating out of our borders on a daily basis.
