Not a mass shooting by definition. Senseless and frustrating regardless. Spoiler Samuel Reynolds once gave a teammate the cleats off his own feet during a soccer game. So it didn’t surprise family and friends that the 16-year-old from Arlington, Tex., described as “one of the most compassionate and helpful people you could ever meet,” would stand up to a bully. But what they probably didn’t expect was that Reynolds’s decision to defend a boy who was getting picked on last week would get him killed. Reynolds died Thursday after he was shot outside his apartment, and his family says the teenage boy behind the bullying is to blame. According to Arlington police, Reynolds’s family reported that he had intervened in a fight involving the bully and “a smaller boy” just days before the shooting. “After he broke up the fight, he started having some trouble with the suspect,” Arlington Police Lt. Christopher Cook said at a news conference Friday. While Reynolds’s family maintains he was targeted by the alleged bully, Cook toldBuzzFeed News that authorities are still working to verify that information. The suspect, identified as a male between the ages of 13 and 15 years old, wasarrested shortly after the incident, which was captured on cameras around the apartment complex where both teenagers lived, KXAS reported. Reynolds’s death has sparked an outpouring of grief from the community, and authorities have condemned the shooting as “so senseless.” By early Monday, tens of thousands of dollars had been donated to help the Reynolds family, and countless tributes remembered the high school sophomore for his “heart of gold.” “He cared about people and he did what he thought was right,” Shay Tyes, a family friend, told KXAS. The deadly confrontation played out Thursday afternoon outside Pinewoods Apartments, located roughly a half-mile west of the University of Texas at Arlington’s main campus. Reynolds was seen on video walking between two buildings when the teenage suspect approached him, KTVT reported. “He pulls out a handgun from the rear part of his pants he was wearing, points it at the victim and fires one round,” Cook told reporters Friday, according to KXAS. Police arrived at the apartment complex just after 4:30 p.m. and found Reynolds suffering from a gunshot wound. The 16-year-old was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died. Cook said one shell casing was recovered from the scene, adding that authorities believe a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun was allegedly used. The gun has not been recovered, BuzzFeed News reported. Late Thursday, Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson announced that an arrest had been made, tweeting, “We have a lot of work to do on this case tonight.” In another tweet, Johnson described the shooting as “emotionally tough” on everyone involved and stressed that the investigation would look into how the young suspect ended up with the weapon. The alleged shooter has since been moved to a juvenile detention center and is facing a murder charge, according to KXAS. It is unclear whether he will be tried as a child or an adult. “This senseless act of gun violence has no place in society and our hometown community,” Johnson tweeted. Cook echoed Johnson’s statement during Friday’s news conference. “We are sick and tired of children in our community coming into contact with firearms and possessing them and using them in this type of manner,” he said. “If an adult has provided this firearm, you certainly can bet that we’re going to pursue them vigorously.” Meanwhile, Reynolds’s family, friends and community are struggling to cope with the sudden loss. “My partner in crime,” wrote Reynolds’s mother, Madison Fletcher, in a recentFacebook post. “He was the definition of silly. My sweet, sweet boy.” In a statement Friday, Arlington High School principal Shahveer Dhalla wrote, “We are heartbroken.” “He touched the lives of many of our Arlington students and teachers, and he will be missed,” Dhalla wrote of Reynolds. “We are keeping our thoughts and prayers with Sam’s family and friends.” A large crowd of mourners gathered Friday evening in the high school’s parking lot for a candlelight vigil. Videos showedmany tearfully embracing Fletcher, who encouraged attendees to share their memories of her son. Reynolds was an avid soccer player who was well liked for “his charming personality and wonderful sense of humor,” his family wrote in an obituary. The teenager’s funeral is scheduled to take place later this week. Russell Laniyan remembered Reynolds lending him his soccer cleats when he didn’t have any. “He would do anything to support his friends and anyone he found close to him,” Laniyan said, according to WFAA. “I thank him for the impact that he made on my life.” “I think this just encourages us to go out and to be like Sam and to follow the example that Sam has set for us,” Laniyan added, according to KXAS. Cliffs: 16 year old Samuel Reynolds intervened in a fight between a 15 year old middle school student and a smaller student. 15 year old student had been targeting smaller student for a while. After Samuel broke up the fight, he started having some trouble with the bully.

No? Yes? If you could create guns that can only be used by women, wouldn’t that allow for women to be protected (a big 2A argument) while removing the worst of gun problems (males)
When you can create a gun that can tell a man from a woman, let me know. And good luck on figuring out if a trans person can have one.
And giving anyone a gun is dumb. Give a lady mace. A stun gun. Protecting women is just another bullshit excuse that Johnny hardo uses bc he wants to play Army.
It's a strange take to think that a gun has never and can never be the most effective way for someone to protect themselves or to eliminate a threat. I admire your passion though
Can it be? Sure. Can it also be used to slaughter people? Yes. There's other forms of self defense. If you could somehow design a gun that could only be used for self defense, great. Until then, melt every single one of them. Ignoring all the bad that comes with them while hiding behind "But they CAN be used for self defense!" is gross. I'm not surprised you are going that route though.
I'm not ignoring all the bad. At all. The bad is really, really bad. Ignoring any good that comes with them is odd though. It's not an honest discussion at that point. There are situations in which a gun is the most effective tool for self defense. Giving someone pepper spray or a tazer in those situations is less than ideal and less effective. You have to acknowledged that taking guns away from everyone will have some unintended consequences. People who would have otherwise defended or protected themselves effectively with a gun will no longer be able to do that.
I said MOST effective. In some cases a tazer is the most effective. In others, mace might be. And, in some cases a gun is THE MOST effective form of self defense. I'm saying there are scenarios in which a gun is the ideal form of protection, and removing that will result in less than ideal self defense in those scenarios.
Nobody has ignored the bad. You made that up. You can't quote someone saying that. We've just said the bad vastly outweighs the good.
Saying you are ignoring the bad is not correct. You are brushing it off the same way that the pro-gun crowd brushes off mass shootings. We post these mass shooting with the undertone of "if guns were not available, this would never happen". And I'm not disputing that, I'm not saying it's incorrect. no guns = no mass shootings. But if your ideal is realized and all guns are melted down, should we post every story of a murder or a rape or abuse, with the undertone of "if this person had access to a gun, they could have better defended themselves and not been raped, murdered, beaten"? Do you know, even by conservative estimates, the number of times a gun is used for self defense? Your proposed policy will be responsible for some increase in abuse, rapes, deaths, etc. Situations in which someone would have defended themselves effectively with a gun but will no longer be able to do that as effectively with other means. It will lead to pain and suffering. You should be fair and say yes, it will cause these issues, but we think that's a fair trade for less mass shootings. It's the other side of the "cost of freedom" argument. I think you have to address it or at least acknowledge it.
Germany mass shooting: Man who shot nine dead at Hanau shisha bars had far-right views, confession letter reveals Suspect reportedly also leaves behind video claiming responsibility for attack A gunman suspected of shooting at least nine people dead at two shisha bars in a German city reportedly revealed he had far-right political views in a confession letter he left behind. The rampage late on Wednesday in Hanau, a town close to Frankfurt in the western state of Hesse, ended with the suspect killing himself. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...st-far-right-shisha-bars-letter-a9345561.html
One person was killed when a guy walked into a community center in west St. Louis county last night and started shooting. Very popular place. Not a “mass shooting” but obviously could have been. Sucks having to remind my wife not to hang out by the entrances and always have two ways out.

LA Fitness I go to has literature posted on the wall on what to do in an active shooter situation. Things are def fine.
What's the future for the 2A? Is the support for it growing or shrinking with the younger generations?
Thats an interesting question. I think the younger generation are, generally, much more progressive (and thereby more in favor of gun control) than previous ones but its always hard to tell 1) if they will stay that way (lots of people grow more conservative as they age) and 2) will those people vote. Lots of people who will post diatribes on facebook about gun control or any other issue don't show up to vote for the people who will actually enact those regulations. I think generally, 2nd amendment support is a family affair. Most of the people I know who are my age (im 30) arrived at that position because their parents are really into that position. Its unusual to encounter people, in my experience, who had anti-gun parents who arrived at a pro-gun stance organically.
Eventually the NRA will run out of payoff money and things will finally change. I can't imagine young people backing an organization that led to so many mass shootings getting their support.
that's not exactly true. the most effective way to protect yourself against a bear attack is both. You don't have to pick just one.
This is incorrect. Because you bring the data of owning a gun into the numbers you are more danger of dying because you just brought in the numbers of it being far more likely you use that gun to kill yourself than the chances of you getting attacked by a bear.
I think it depends on what you are using for your data. The odds of any person at any time being attacked by a bear are extremely low. The odds of someone using a gun to kill themselves are much higher. But those numbers change quite a bit if I'm hiking in the Rockies. If I'm somewhere that I feel I need bear spray for protection, I would also benefit from carrying a gun, for the same reasons. Guns do introduce the element of accidents and that cannot be ignored. It's always a risk assessment. Also, accidents can be mitigated, though not eliminated, with safe practices. There are documented cases of a bear killing someone and finding an empty can of bear spray near the scene. If I'm with someone I'd rather one of us has bear spray and the other has a gun. Or both have both, whatever. If shit goes that far sideways, unloading both into the bear gives us the best chance of survival.
