I was thinking more along the lines of the usual knee-jerk reaction of calling for a assault weapons ban but what you said as well.

Can't find it right now, but there's a meme (babylonbee material I believe) about scientists being worried about running out of conspiracy theories if they keep coming true.   While I understand correlation ≠ causation, the "coincidences" sure do keep stacking up....

And here you go

Jean-Pierre also urged Congress to act in the wake of this school shooting, saying that “we cannot allow these tragedies to continue.”

    "Congress must act to enact universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, (and) require safe storage of firearms," she said, adding that "the gun industry's immunity from liability" must stop and a national "red flag" law should be passed.
    "We cannot allow these tragedies to continue," Jean-Pierre said.

Kind of weird no numbers yet and they're still saying multiple which could mean two and maybe two doesn't pull on the gun ban strings enough.

Got to go to an overseas site for info again
Apparently he had this planned, posted a photo of himself on TikTok (surprise) in the restroom just before the shooting

Oh gee, maybe this is why the US media is unusually quiet, maybe, it's the internet so take with an internet size grain of salt

Perry High School shooter was a 17-year-old student, official says

Officials have identified the person who opened fire at Perry High School as 17-year-old Dylan Butler, a student at the school.

Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Assistant Director Mitch Mortvedt said the shooter was armed with a pump action shotgun and a small caliber handgun.

He said the shooter made several social media posts in and around the time of the shooting.

At least one person was killed and five others were injured, he said. The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Mortvedt said.

The person killed was a six grader at the school's middle school

And as it turns out he brought a bomb

Quote
Police officers located "an improvised explosive device" inside Perry High School in Iowa while undergoing a search of the building following the shooting, according to Assistant Director Mitch Mortvedt of the Division of Criminal Investigation.

Iowa's state fire marshal and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms "rendered the device safe," he said during a Thursday news conference.

So a shotgun, handgun, and a bomb. We really need to ban "assault weapons"

According to CNN there have been at least 4 mass shootings in the US this year.
They based this on data from Gun Violence Archive. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

Didn't you hear? "Gun safety" researchers have recently revealed that AR-15 assault rifles blow people up. So that bomb may as well have been an assault rifle.

Funny that in an article about how the AR-15 blows bodies apart they show this

The bullying claim is easy to believe.  The school and the bullies are often on the same team; I'm not sure what the school gets out of the deal, more docile and compliant students (the ones being harassed) maybe.

One report on the radio today indicated that the shooter was "trans".  The show's host also pointed out how many of these shootings have been done by trans and hinted that it was time to start considering that "being trans" may be a sign of a mental imbalance.

Yes, we've been discussing that previously in this thread.

..."being trans" may be a sign of a mental imbalance.

It's certainly more than that. It's beyond strange that wanting to mutilate or excise healthy parts of the body, in favor of kludged, make-shift imitations of opposite-sex body parts is not seen as an obvious form of self-harm.
