Why do these people always choose Schools as their targets?

Why don't they target a Police station?

It appears to be due to a upset worker or crazy student

They happen all the time

As I always say Americans see this as a decent trade off for having relaxed gun laws in a country of 300,000,000

Its their choice and they chose it

A depressing formality at this point... depressing in that news like this prompts an eyeroll rather than outpourings of grief for the kids lost.

Why not just ban guns and offer anybody upset about it thoughts and prayers?

There's a huge middle ground between an outright ban and what they currently have... But so one seems to be really looking at it much? You just have one side clamouring for a full ban or effective ban and the other screeching "NO RULZ!!"

There are clear ways to keep guns out of the hands of MOST unstable people, especially teenagers, and whilst there's no such thing as foolproof, it would certainly dramatically decrease the number of school shootings.

A woman who slung an assault-style rifle across her shoulder for her graduation photos in the US has sparked a fierce debate over personal freedom, student protests and white privilege.

Kaitlin Bennett graduated from Kent State University in Ohio with a degree in biology.

The following day, the 22-year-old returned to the campus with an AR-10 semi-automatic rifle strapped to her back and posed for photographs while holding a graduation cap emblazoned with the words "come and take it".

Bennett, who later posted the photographs on Twitter, says she was protesting against a university policy that prohibited students, professors and employees from carrying "lethal weapons" on campus - but allows "guests" to possess them on school grounds (but not in buildings).

That's why the USA has problems
