Time to ban guns from schools? Another school shooting.
The teacher and a campus supervisor talked a gunman into putting down his weapon after he had shot and injured one pupil at Taft Union High School.
Police said the gunman had enough ammunition to kill many people.
The injured student was taken to hospital in an air ambulance and is in a critical condition.
The drama started after 09:00 local time (17:00 GMT) when the gunman, also a student, arrived late, armed with a shotgun, at the school in the small town in California's central valley.
Students and staff telephoned police, but before officers could arrive, the suspect had shot at two people in a class in the science block. One shot missed its target.
As you can see, guns are killing & maiming innocent Americans every day. This would be a humanitarian crisis if it were AIDs.

1 ReplyI'm pro gun control. That is to say I think owning a gun is fine, but I think they should be regulated more and be more restricted. First of all, the 2nd Amendment says we have the "right to bear arms", but I don't think that meant having your own arsenal in your home. So I'd limit the amount of weapons people can own. No one [i]needs[/i] 20 handguns, 10 shotguns, and 15 assault rifles. What is the purpose of that? Secondly, I'd make the rules for purchasing a firearm more strict. Apart from the background check references must be required and a psychological evaluation submitted, as well as a gun safety course (for new owners). I include the references because if they're useful for finding out about potential employees they can be useful in finding out about potential gun owners on a more personal level than just the background check. Lastly I'd straight up ban the sale of assault weapons to civilians, this includes ex-military and police. There is no need for them, they were designed for combat. Period.
