What did the goalpost ever do to you?

and targeting legal gun owners (which is what gun control does) won't actually do much to stop mass killings.

Which is why there has not been a mass shooting in the UK in over twenty years?

This the same UK whose capital city just surpassed New York in murder rate?

oh, yes. very convincing.

You were talking about mass killings. Not general homicide.

There's a gun control thread in NSG. This is not it. Stick to the topic.

This goes for everybody.

It's the "I tried to run with my life" part that I don't get. Was his life running ahead of him and he couldn't keep up or something? Did he have an out-of-body experience?

I'm chalking it up to the fact he was panting heavily and his mind was racing faster than he could spit out the words and ended up sounding like a drunken Homer Simpson.

How is it out of topic to talk about guns when the subject is about a school shooting? And the "gun control" thread is nothing more than a soapbox for gun enthusiasts just as the former "feminism" thread was nothing more than an MRA soapbox.

oh no people use threads to discuss their opinions on the topic of the thread, what bastards.

Anyway, good to see nobody was killed.

Not my problem if you find the gun control threads less than congenial. What will happen if the topic here is allowed to wander around unchecked is that we'll have a second gun control thread. And then a third when something else comes along. I should not have to tell you this.

Gormwood isn't the topic, either.

[Shofercia]

Sounds like to me he is saying that he is sorely out of shape or perhaps smoked a bit too much pot before he had to bail.

It's the "I tried to run with my life" part that I don't get. Was his life running ahead of him and he couldn't keep up or something? Did he have an out-of-body experience?

What's the absolute worst time to get high if you're out of shape?
Right before a school shooting!

If I might ask, what is the topic? I think we all agree that school shootings are bad, what are we to talk about here?

The specific incident. If you have nothing to say about it, don't post. Of course, who am I kidding, this is NSG. Everyone. Must. Post. About. Everything.

Well I was going to post about how I think this incident might have been prevented. But you've said I can't do that.

One would think, with Colorado legalizing pot, the students would be to mellowed out to lash out like this, unless those students weren't sharing their bag of weed.

I never thought of a high score in that way before. Not sure if it's good or bad. I think that the safe thing to do is to wait until you're in a safe spot, and then light it up - the weed that is.

If the topic of discussion is narrowly defined to "this event" wouldn't that mean these threads should be locked under "NSG is not your blog" since there's nothing really here to do except go "wow, okay, that's awful"?

[Slotted Floppies]

Well I’m glad we finally have some victims who have enough gusto to not just up and die at a mass shooting.

Perhaps, Christian thought he was in a safe spot to light up, while jamming to Motley Crue"s "Smokin' in the Boys Room" got half way through his blunt and realized those loud bangs were gun shots not someone banging on the door.

The boys room in high school is never a safe spot. That said, Christian is an excellent person to hike with - if you see a bear, you can always outrun Christian.
