#3 Wolf Blitzer tried to make this story about the need for gun control (which to him means outlawing guns and gun confiscation). The kid who was the shooter was a freshman, had good grades, was popular, and an athlete. Wolf failed to mention it was illegal for the kid to have a firearm in school or that he was too young to have a firearm. He also didn't question where he got the firearm. Sheeesh! Another lefty dimwit MSM guy pushing his personal agenda.

#4 or that he was too young to have a firearm. I should have said that he was too young to own a firearm and use it without adult supervision present. There are many young people who are responsible shooters and compete in sponsored shooting events.
