    The headline is not untrue, but I think a lot of people are making school shooting assumptions based on “mass shooting” that would probably be avoidable with a change in phrasing.

    One adult man shot his wife and presumed girlfriend, killed seven of their own children, plus an eighth who was visiting, and then booked it. It’s a horrific crime to commit and I can’t understand how a person can do something like that.

      I don’t get it but also this is how a lot of mass killings played out historically. Hell my own ancestor pruned the old branches on the tree as it were before he became a bandit.

    If the other children had guns to defend themselves this could’ve easily be avoided, right?

        But the good kids need bigger automatic weapons so they can defend themselves against the bad kids, right? NRA would probably say grenade launchers should be good
