Parkland School Shooting

[Julio3000]

My old math teacher had a concealed carry permit.

Why are we OK with him walking in a restaurant with a gun but not a school?

I'm not. Yes, it's legal where I live, but I'm certainly not ok with it.

To your post above re: age restrictions...that's the same kind of fuzzy all-or-nothing logic that you've previously demonstrated in this thread. Because one particular proposed measure would not have stopped one particular incident, it's held to be useless.

Say a teen breaks into the liquor cabinet, takes a few pops, then hops into a car and kills a pedestrian. That means that checking ID for liquor purchases is fruitless, right?

Besides, the measure at issue in the tweet pertained to rifles. It's sloppy reasoning all around. The question to ask is how this kid has access to a handgun, and if we're best served as a society to have such weapons so numerous and relatively easy to obtain by legal or illegal measures.
