Oh goody another shooting (Vegas)

I have mixed feelings on gun control/ownership/etc. However for me their is no debate about MUCH tougher crackdowns (eg punishments) on violent crimes, regardless of age.

We now take you back to your regularly scheduled Let the "we need more access guns/we need less access to guns" debate.

An 18-year-old man was in critical condition and a 17-year-old boy was upgraded from critical to serious condition, both with gunshot wounds to the torso, said Cheryl Persinger, a University Medical Center spokeswoman.
--
Four people, including at least two boys and a girl who are under 18, were treated for gunshot wounds to their arms and legs and were released, she said. All four are students at Mojave High School who had just stepped off the bus, which was coming from the school, police said.
--
Police said they believed the shooting was linked to a fight at Mojave earlier in the day. The brawl had been contained by school police, who arrested three male students, officials said.
--
The fight at the school did not appear to be gang or race-related, he said.
Yes. It was pudendum related. I am sure that makes the people shot in this even feel so much better.
