Sheriff: Active shooter reported at Texas high school
Another day, another school shooting. Time to argue over the Second Amendment and gun control once again, or perhaps still. Simplistic solutions will abound. Ban assault rifles, raise the age for purchasing a gun, arm the teachers, there always simplistic and popular solutions that won't work.
Examining the sickness in our society that leads people to start shooting is difficult and painful. We don't want to go there.
