ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
Three people are dead and eight others injured following a school shooting in Eastern Michigan.
Michigan politicians from across the aisle have come out to condemn the horrifying attack.
At least one has already called for tighter gun control laws. (MLive.com)
“I'm at a loss of words, and I don't want to hear ‘thoughts and prayers',” Michigan Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Royal Oak, posted to Twitter. “I want everyone in any position of authority to agree that easy access to firearms that allow children to kill other children is not an acceptable world to live in and that we will do everything to stop it.”
It's estimated up to 20 shots were fired before police arrested the suspected shooter, a 15-year-old sophomore, about 12:55 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30.
“The news of today's school shooting at Oxford High School is simply horrifying,” said Sen. Rosemary Bayer, D-Beverly Hills, whose district includes the high school. “On top of an already difficult situation with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our students now have to face this traumatic situation in a place that is supposed to be a safe space for learning and growth.
“My heart goes out to all those involved. I am working with local authorities to understand all the information and provide as much assistance as my office can. I encourage anyone with information about this situation to share it with the police, and I thank our local responders for their swift assistance and response during this difficult time.”

More amo for the anti-gun numb skulls to spew about. There needs to be a push for evaluating the mentally ill for preventing this and taking appropriate actions. Stop promoting evil by condoning the garbage that triggers hateful actions, promote good and kindness and be most importantly, acknowledge God. Without God, evil and hatred fills that void.
“I want everyone in any position of authority to agree that easy access to firearms that allow children to kill other children is not an acceptable world to live in and that we will do everything to stop it.”
You’ll do everything you can to stop it by “defunding the police” and releasing criminals from jail? Good luck with that crap!
I don’t even know what to say. Why progressives think it’s a good idea to defund the police is beyond me. I get it, Biden’s brain is melted, but the fact that there are prominent people on the left blaming law-abiding gun owners is insane.
ok, here’s the hard cold truth. if you voted democrat, you voted for this to happen too. you know damn well when Trump was in office, your kids were safe from these events. didn’t continue on his watch. when Obama was in office, these events happened routinely. since Brandon has been in office this is the 3rd one in a year and he still has potentially 3 years left. will the next shooter be at your childs school? better worry as long as there is a democrat in the white house. you might be next and I sure hope at that moment you look in the mirror and call out the imbecile looking back. hate Trump so much you put your kids in the crosshairs. great parenting.
It’s all part of the current “down with the establishment” sentiment held by progressives. And it’s as misguided now as it was back in the 1960’s.
I heard it said in a virtual meeting the other evening, that most kids today have no idea about the real world, I guess that applies to the lefty looney politicians also. The reality for kids today is video games. Thank you parents for not allowing your children out of the house t play with other children and learn that things are not always as they seem because it’s not safe out there. Safe spaces are a freakin’ joke. As you can see, there is no such thing.
The same bunch calling for gun control and decrying, “firearms that allow children to kill other children is not an acceptable world to live in and that we will do everything to stop it.” While allowing 81 abortions per day in Michigan in 2020. Once again blaming the tool, not the high pressure society for children that they encourage. Pushing theories better left to college thought experiments and Marxist manifestos.
Why aren’t the laws enforced that are in place now? I read an article in USA today about some small gun shops or dealers actually selling on the side to anyone. One shop the ATF inventoried with the owners was 600 guns short. 600! The ATF gave them a warning letter. Read the article. Shut the criminals down
Put them in jail. We law abiding gun owners ought to be demanding it. Close the blanking border. Leave us alone
Whoever this shooter is, is already known to the police or FBI. Same story over and over
We have parents who condone attacking anyone with an opposing viewpoint. We have video games that offer more points for more killing. We have teachers who are telling our kids that if they are white they are racist from birth. We have politicians spewing hate, There are several organizations,seemingly protected by our own government,committing violent acts with no consequences, and they wonder why this sort of things happen? What did they expect? Stop poisoning the minds of your young people!
