Marysville, Washington = Seattle Area School Shooting

Frustrations are boiling over at that High School, parents, students, the media, they are all going nuts on the subject of gun violence in schools. Everybody is throwing up their hands, what to do? Who to blame? I'm surprised they are not picketing the big, bad NRA.
      In a way, I don't blame them. They don't know what to do, and in this case, I would recommend the following - DO NOTHING.
      Yup. Sit tight til everything cools down. This one is far too complicated to just jump in and react to what has already been an emotional set up. Don't think so? Try this on for size. The following elements have been virtually " cocked and ready for such a tragedy"
                           Brady Handgun Control out of DC
                           Democrats running for election looking for " something" to grab hold of
                                   i.e. " the October Surprise."
                          Washington is a far left liberal state and they are fishing for a cause to push for a
                                   virtual GUN BAN law. This may be their ammo.
                           Indians hate White law and will fight any such movements tooth and nail.
       Obvious problems that will stick in the craw of common sense: show me (or you) any law they will pass that would have prevented the HS shooting under the current fact load.
        1   shooter 15, illegal to own, carry, shoot pistol in that state.
        2   Father's gun, readily accessible to son. Under state (or tribal law?) was he liable for not
             locking up the pistol? It was under his care custody and control? Not reported but
             was shooter & family living on reservation? (different laws)
        3.  Would ANY law have prevented the boy shooter from obtaining Dad's gun, texting his
              COUSINS to the lunch table and prevented him from shooting them?
        4.   There are enough handguns in America to give one to every man, woman and child -
               everywhere. IF WE CANNOT CORRAL DRUGS, WHAT GIVES YOU THE HOPE
               COLLECTING HANDGUNS WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL being as the ownership is
               guaranteed a right under the Constitution???

        5.    Oh, yes, remember the public discussion sometime back about metal detectors at schools?
               also armed teachers and security guards. Don't tell me you FORGOT?? Yes, that would
               helped. To paraphrase Samuel Colt, " better that they were there and you didn't need it than
               need it and it not be there."
The English tried to take our firearms away 200+ years ago and it didn't work out so well for them, either. 70 years ago, the Germans confiscated (they thought) guns from the French. Near wars end, the renegades dug them up and killed a lot of Nazis with them.
     So tell me, what law or laws do you suggest that will quell the handgun violence? What solution will be effective? Maybe, the answer is to screen people who want to buy them? Think about that?
