Look, lets be frank. I think it's obvious your pinning this whole story as an anti-gun argument. What I am telling you, is that stuff like this is nothing new. If he didn't use a gun, he would have tried something else. Either by himself, or with his "homies". While in high school, I pissed off someone too. Next thing I knew had a pack of his homeboys looking for me, and they were all packing one weapon or another.
In other words, what I'm saying is what we're really looking at here is not gun issue, (though one was used) but an issue of inner city violence, gangs and drugs. Unfortunately this is nothing new. Hell, i practically called the issue out for what it was before the story was updated.
Let me ask you this, do high schools in germany have an on campus police office? Many of ours do. Not because of guns, but because of violence in general. In fact, students aren't even allowed to have lockers anymore where i grew up. The problem of weapons and drugs being stashed in them became too much, so they took them out.
