https://abc7.com/west-covina-shooting-at-house-party-leaves-1-dead-3-injured/5325982/
WEST COVINA, Calif. (KABC) -- A shooting at a house party in West Covina left one male dead and three others wounded Friday night, authorities said.

Officers responded to the 300 block of North Hollow Avenue at about 10:29 p.m. at a house used as an apparent Airbnb rental.

They found three juveniles in the backyard wounded, one fatally, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Two of the victims suffered gunshot wounds to the legs and were transported to a hospital. Another victim, a female juvenile, was driven to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries after being shot in the leg.

The organization estimates that 95% of school kids – some as young as five – are now trained on what to do during an active shooter situation because they have to be prepared for it at any minute, in any community.
This is in schools...
...NOT a combat training ground for servicemen & women.
WHAT a lovely country!

Yes. What Happened to the Land of the Free?

If you want a real answer ... some years ago the ugly socialist extreme left liberal [feel free to fill in more negatives] SCOTUS decided that crazy people have a god given, er constitutional, right to be bat guano crazy and they can't be forcefully medicated. Most if not all societal woes flow from that decision.

Back when America was great those crazy's were locked up in psych wards, medicated and sometimes given shock treatment. Not a pretty sight. So "do gooders" pushed an agenda to have the treatment facilities closed. McCarthy commie haters joined as they hated gulags. It worked, psych wards closed. Now the crazy is out there with the average joe.

I'll leave it to you to decide if it is the crazies buying the guns or the average joe who feels the need to protect himself from the crazy buying the guns. In any case guns are flying off the assembly line.

That's not just the US. It is here as well with their "Care in the Community" B/S. Thankfully, we do not have a gun culture, otherwise...

Ah, gun control works and criminals can't get guns.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/04/australia/darwin-shooting-australia-intl/index.html
At a press conference on Tuesday evening, Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw said the suspect was an individual who was "well-known to police," who had been on parole following his release from prison in January.

Not in the US or any country for that matter.
But it's a fact that gun violence increase in I think every country no matter their legislations.
Only in the past two years gun violence has doubled in my little country!
Used to be a problem among the criminals but now even a problem to bystanders...

Thank you moomin and you are 100% correct. It's not a US problem it's a world problem, it's not a gun problem, it's a mental health problem.

It's a small step for some from eliminating life in the womb and eliminating life in a school, or theater, or shopping mall, or concert venue. And the perpetrators believe they are entitled to do so because of whatever grievance they have against who or whatever.

Boxcutters are used, Commercial Airliners are used, trucks(lorries) are used, knives are used, radioactive poisons are used, hammers are used and guns are used. Just another tool in the bag to a psychotic.

Can we all at least agree that the wanton taking of a human life, by any means, is not a sane action?

I seem to have forgotten the mass-shootings in recent history carried out by women who have had abortions. Or by women at all.

Well no wonder, women are behind 106 to 4, far behind men... you know... those people who don't have abortions. But nice try. :^p

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack
On December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed and 22 others were seriously injured in a terrorist attack consisting of a mass shooting and an attempted bombing at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple living in the city of Redlands, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and Christmas party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. Farook was a U.S.-born citizen of Pakistani descent, who worked as a health department employee. Malik was a Pakistani-born lawful permanent resident of the United States.


And Mr K, since you went there, the womb of any woman who has had an abortion has a higher body count than any of the A/Rs I own.

I did know that one... it's the hair-thin "1 male & female" on the right column of the bar chart. Sort of dwarfed by the 106 male-only.

Looks like Americans aren't the only people who feel they need the 'Right to Bear Arms'

Citizens Disobey New Zealand Gun Ban, Only 530 of 300,000 People Turned Guns In

After New Zealand banned people from having guns in reaction to the terrible shooting in March, almost everyone is refusing to obey the law.
