Now that the FBI is done investigating random foreigners for the unlawful distribution of Facebook memes, maybe they can spare a couple agents to follow up on credible warnings of imminent school shootings.

Rod Rosenstein: “There is no allegation that any American was a willing participant in the activities in the indictment, or that the Russian activity altered the outcome of the election.”

Between 1998 and 2017, the NRA spent $200 million on all political activities combined. Unions spent $1.7 billion on politics in the 2016 cycle alone.

Did you know that the murder rate in America is half of what it was about 20 years ago, yet we've added tens of millions of guns into the hands of American citizens?

"As of 2013, only 7% of journalists identified as Republicans."
--@NateSilver538, March, 2017

The indictment of 13 Russians says their work had no effect on the outcome of the election. Now can we talk about the effect on our elections by the rabid GOP-hating, leftwing media?

Inner city kids, raised in broken homes, in illegal possession of a firearm, make up what % of the gun crime in America?

Florida high school students stage walkout to protest gun violence

Can students now walk out over political issues? If they oppose killing babies can they stage a walk out? Or will the liberal authorities in the school system frown on that behavior?

I have a great idea. Why don't we take the $500,000,000 we give Planned Parenthood every year & use it to hire armed security guards for schools.

We can protect innocent babies and kids in our school system. The old ‘two birds with one stone’.

Why is it that the gop is pro life but they won't do anything about the murder of children in schools?

There was a failure of local school administration, local law enforcement, local mental health and federal agents.

What laws would prevent the incompetence surrounding this particular shooting.

K.....that is a link to japan gun control? Are you suggesting the us should follow japans model? So collect all guns save a few long rifles and handguns from law abiding citizens, hope the criminals have a change of heart and hand over all their guns.  Then give police sweeping powers re: stop and frisk. 

I cant see that working too well in the usa. I think the chances of street gangs handing over all their firearms is naive. The left is up in arms over the current state of policing, granting them additional powers will not go over well in some communities.

I think you just googled and linked the first thing you came across...a bbc article about japan gun control.

So what laws, which specific laws would prevent the level of incompetence surrounding this case.
