Nobody really wants to get to the root cause. Prior to Columbine, School shootings were extremely rare. So what really changed? Yeah...social media, and out general values have shifted. But there is more to this story that's much darker. Until we are willing to dig deep and shake up gov't, the only answer is additional armed security at schools.

@BizSuitStacy Kids are immature. They don't realize how serious their actions are. They're not thinking about the future. Parents need to keep their guns away from their kids period. They're kids.

@Spoiledbrat this didn't happen much prior to 1999. Americans owned 200 million guns then. Root cause is a different issue.

@BizSuitStacy Yes but parents STILL need to keep their guns away from their children. Times have changed and we have to change with it. Kids are still growing.

@Spoiledbrat I agree that parents absolutely need to store their firearms safely. I'm saying that safe gun storage isn't the issue.

There's basically two kinds of school shootings. More common are the gang related shootings that take place on or near school campus. And gang members don't get their guns legally.

Then there is the crazed lunatic, who shoots a bunch of kids because they are angry. Why is that happening?

@BizSuitStacy I'd say the internet but parents still need to keep their guns away from their children.

Get a security guard for the illegal gun problem. @BizSuitStacy
