Sue the school board for not providing a safe environment, or proper security.

That was the undercurrent to last year's post-Newtown "conversation." The idea was to create an imaginary juggernaut (mostly the NRA) upon which to blame their failures to get legislation passed. Then they can play the martyr/underdog card when it blocks their proposals from passing. This is an extension of that. These lawyers don't want to punish Bushmaster for Sandy Hook; they want to punish Bushmaster for simply being a gun manufacturer.

From Crankgrinder:
"If anybody needs to be [sued] it's the school for not providing adequate security,..." Well, it happened. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/san...64Wt?ocid=iehp Only two families involved so far, that's a start. But we all know who the real culprit is. The article states that one teacher in particular (a substitute teacher that day) didn't have a key to lock the door. |

I brought this up in another venue a few months after Sandy Hook. When I suggested some responsibility on behalf of the school board and faculty, I was told it was in poor taste.

Neither belong in the courtroom for this atrocity since neither pulled the trigger. I just see things simply and don't apologize for it.

One student intervened and tried to stab the shooter in the neck with a pencil. That didn't work out so well, obviously. If only he'd been able to carry a knife...
