Clearly you just don’t understand that unborn kids haven’t been able to arm themselves yet. Pretty soon kids 2+ will have to be trained and given a gun to protect themselves from those other kids with guns at school. Republican family Xmas cards clearly seem to show this possibility for the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to choose to do it. ALL of us on an individual level. Until that happens things will continue to be the way they are... I don't want to get into one these "D1P Philisophical, Existential debates" that happen so often around here but yeah, that's my feeling. People can complain the politicians all they want, but the politicians are there because of the people. ALL of the people Republican and Democrat. People in THIS country need to take some fucking responsibility and ownership and make Kids getting shot in their classrooms as important an issue to them as fucking gas prices and maybe we'll see something change. So sick of this shit. We are too smart for our own good… we can convince ourselves that even the cruelest act has a valid value… we are just too smart and act beyond logic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There is legitimately no place to go where there aren’t a massive number of guns per capita. The last time I checked, even the lowest per cap states like Mass and Jersey have high per caps close to the next most gun loving wealthy nation, Canada.

Jwheel86 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 In my mind the only realistic but never going to happen either solution is some kind of deal with the GOP. Repeal the federal gun laws that are objectively stupid and get magazines over X rounds added as a Class 3 item like silencers and machine guns are now.

Children get butchered and we do nothing. We insistent on officers in schools, which does nothing. Officers were engaged before this motherfucker got inside, and it didn’t matter. The only things that will matter will be stopping the sale of guns, and getting guns out of the hands of Americans and destroying them. Everything else is putting a bandaid on a necrotic limb and hoping it gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF 😬 I used them as an example because most of their laws are the bare minimum that would still make some difference. Them and New Hampshire. If I wanted a real example of gun laws I'd prefer and would make a real difference, is prefer the nation adopting Massachusetts gun laws. The best part of Massachusetts gun laws, other than the licensing, is that your guns have to be registered and you're mandated to report any losses, thefts, sales, or other transfers. If we actually tracked guns in this country maybe we could even reduce crime in Mexico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It seems highly likely that the police effectively allowed the shooter to massacre the classroom while they waited for backup.
