It keeps getting better: Parkland government ineptness

Now one can argue that there are many students who don't go on shooting rampages just because they get denied help. It can be argued that this is a perfect storm of government failure. It doesn't alter one bit the reality that government took on the responsibility and then proved utterly incapable of following through. As a result, seventeen people are dead.

Parkland is not a debate on gun control. It is a debate on government control.

    It might just be conspiracy theory, but it's also possible that certain groups wanted something like the Parkland tragedy to move ahead, so they refused to act on the information.

    Thanks for posting this. This story was covered up once it was exposed in the days after the murders.

    Say What?!?!
    Sorry to disagree, but my oh my.
    Government control? Really? The Government has the ability to control people to such an extent? Really?
    So murderers are not bad, they just had a bad upbringing … poor things.
    If only a "counselor" would've advised them to not do that. Government has control over everyone. They are the solution to all problems. LOVE the government. Maduro and Chavez will make all of us love each other.
    Complete insanity to think the Government will control crime or people or parents or children or anything for that matter.
    WOW

      I think you misunderstand the point: No, government can't actually control people. I agree with you. They pretend they can and pass laws that assume a control which does not exist and then stand around mouths agape and stamping their feet when people ignore them and Bad Stuff still happens.

      My point was that there were so many times in the Parkland issue where Nanny Government mandated "control" of a situation and then were either completely incompetent or chose not to obey their own edicts. And yet there is all this hand-wringing about how the problem is personal firearms.
