It just feels like this is all staged… if guns rights are for things like defending yourself or preserving the concept of America and democracy from a run away government…why is a mentally incompetent person allowed to own one? Let alone be at a school emotionally unstable and requiring a resource officer to become incapacitated when he should be occupied with keeping the school safe from actual threats… This doesnt make sense and I think more guns are needed to avoid these types of situations where someone got their concealed permit from University of Phoenix
