Re: National, Regional and Local News
The incredible logic is this one: they have to make schools safer AFTER THE SHOOTER IS ALREADY THERE, but they have no plans to stop the shooter from BEING THERE.
Axiom in safety processes: ELIMINATE THE RISK FIRST. If, and only IF, you cannot eliminate the risk, you implement mitigation processes and policies.

I can't wrap my mind around the defenses people use to defend being able to buy an assault rifle so easily.

"We don't ban cars when somebody runs over somebody else". Yes, because that is NOT what a car is designed for, that is an accident. Cars are designed for transport. And cars are highly regulated.
"We don't ban electricity when somebody gets electrocuted". Because that is not what electricity is used for. That is an accident. And electricity is highly regulated.
Boebert: "We did not ban airplanes after 911". You bet you did. Grounded for days, an entire new federal agency created to deal with possible attacks, and the most stringent requirements to board a plane in the world. Plus, that is not what planes are designed for.
They fail to see that the sole purpose, and it is the sole purpose of design of a gun, is "to open holes in people" (Kurt Vonnegut). It is a machine with no other function.

The story out of Uvalde keeps changing, and getting worse.
I've lost count as to what version this is. Lives could've been saved.

In the end, these people that "want to save the world" become very much the same.

Re: National, Regional and Local News
Farfetched idea, because, you know, IATA: his father gave him the combination to the "gun safe" because he is "a responsible kid".
No idea of what kind of sentencing a 12 yo can get, but the dad deserves to be set on probation, have his guns taken away, his license revoked, and be included in the list of people not allowed to buy guns.
Oh, wait... Michigan/USA.
