Taft Union High School in Taft, Calif., normally has an armed guard on campus to help officials with problems that go "beyond the scope" of the administration. But on Thursday morning, as a student showed up with a shotgun and fired two to four shots at a teacher and a classmate, the officer was nowhere to be found. "He couldn't get there because he was snowed in," Sheriff Donny Youngblood of the Kern County Sheriff’s Department said in a press conference Thursday afternoon.

July 12, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Handguns are now allowed in limited numbers in Chicago homes, but not on the city's streets.
The law requires gun owners to go through a lengthy procedure before they can legally have a gun in their homes that includes:
A valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card, which issued by the state;
A Chicago Firearms Permit, which is issued by the city;
One hour on the range and four hours of training in the classroom
Chicago aldermen were unanimous in their support of the ordinance. That included Alderman Rey Colon of the 35th Ward who, in remarks before the council, said gun-rights advocates do not understand how unregulated rules on gun ownership threaten neighborhood safety.
“I understand the right to bear arms, but I also understand parents crying in their sleep,” he said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel rewrote a section of the ordinance, permanently banning anyone with a violent felony conviction from firearm ownership, and placing a five-year ban on gun purchases for anyone convicted of a violent misdemeanor, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Now if only they teachers had guns and the postman and the fire brigade, the woman in the shop etc none of this would have ever happened and they all lived happily ever after the end.
seriously go back to the 16th century with your queen,castles,princes and we will live in the wild west with our guns.

Ahh I see. So this is a cover up, someone else did the shooting and they picked a person to blame? I guess that is the same with the CT shooting? What about James Holmes, is he also not guilty?

Oh yeah no doubt,
Criminals wont obey the law.. and you put faith in your police force to do their best against that.
But letting common people have the same weapons in their home ISNT the answer.
I love my paint-picture!

Not really, all gun control is going to do now is stop your little psycho, medicated gun-nut offspring from going off the rails and taking a high powered semiautomatic rifle to school.
You cant get the cat back in the bag, you've let gun shops own the way of the land for too long, guns have been interbred into your culture (like war and greed), sadly, American society has fallen quite far from the glory days of being a beacon for sanity, decency and peace in the late 40's..
Cop said get a gun?
