If you need emotional counseling over this you should get it. I get wanting to do anything on AR’s, but it does nothing. What you going to do when AR’s are outlawed and we have just the same amount of mass shootings if we fail to secure all the school buildings? Will it be semi-automatic pistols next for you? And if you say no, then why not do just anything in semi-auto pistols?
Common sense says that the more difficult it is to get hands on a weapon, the more likely someone is going to notice and rat the potential murderer out.
Do you have a link to the chart? Would love to take a look. If I’m seeing the dates correctly and the scale of the killings were looking at Vegas and Orlando night club being the largest and then a lot of large purple dots for schools. Outside of Va Tech, most of the school shootings an AR15 was used. We have to study how these people are getting their hands on these weapons.Are we just going to act like this chart doesn’t exist. Like we haven’t had a ban on these types of weapons and that it actually worked. Was it perfect and stop all of them, of course not, Columbine happened in that time. Which was the only mass school shooting of the decade. Why would you say it’s not going to work, don’t try it? The history shows that’s wrong. Again, we aren’t talking about the intercity shootings and all that, just sticking to this subject.
Spare me. The only reason I’m replying to this is because it took less than 10 minutes to read your post.
Not looking to be inspirational, just intellectually honest. I have proposed outlawing all guns until age 21 and moving draft age to 21. Not doing that is a waste of time on any other law that is limited.
I do feel for the law enforcement folks and other personnel who had to walk into that classroom to see a scene I can’t imagine. They’ll be scarred for life. It’s a terrible thing nobody should have to see. The stuff of nightmares.
Personally, I don’t want to change any laws related to guns. If we do move the age for someone to own firearms to 21 and the related draft, as a compromise, and in return for that I would want the border secured and stop the death an open border creates. The irony is we have laws that should secure the border, guess you have to beg to have laws enforced today. But we can get the DOJ to target school moms speaking at board meetings as domestic terrorists. You would think that a bigger issue than gun laws when you consider the implications. Maybe spend your time finding mass shooters.
Firearms are not mystical instruments understood only by physicists.
I was kind of kidding but I do think it is interesting that we have all these different standards for when someone can be considered mature enough to be an adult.

The only training they get now is bias training and stuff related to white nationalistic anger. Brandon said white nationalism greatest threat to us. This is what is in the budget, military as well. They read it in cadet school, last time probably.
Serious question.
My current position….
It’s a good point about the internet/social media/dark web. But I also don’t trust some of law enforcement on the federal levelto not abuse their position re: Michigan Gov assassination plot and even cases of Islamic terrorism recruitment back in the early 2000s
Do these things not exist in other countries?? I agree those places need to be shut down, but that can’t be the only part of the solution. Some sort of gun control has to be there as well.
Absolutely disgusting that they were made to wait. Breach should have happened before those guys even arrived. The chief that held everyone back is leaving the force in 3 weeks. He was elected to the City Council
I will say it again.
I would be floored if his house isn’t up for sale before then
One thing he said that I have been trying to say, emotions does not lead to a plan or solutions that work. Math is not political, emotional, or religious. People should listen to this, especially how to stop it.

Biden goes on anti-gun tirade, suggests there’s ‘no rational basis’ for 9mm pistols
Biden ranted against ownership of what he called “high-caliber weapons” while appearing to rule out the possibility of taking major executive action on guns.
Nothing like sitting next to an 80 year old blue hair as she tries to operate her 9mm during a conceal carry class. Four hours later she’s carrying at Luby’s.
You really think that mass shootings are the reason that the leading cause of death among children is gun violence? If gun violence truly is the leading cause of death among kids, it’s not mass shootings, it’s the random acts of violence in cities like Chicago, LA, and New York.
It is actually second, I linked the stats earlier. Car accidents leading cause. And your point is accurate regardless if it is 1 or 2.
I followed your previous post with a link that you are incorrect. It is now guns.
Makes sense. Murder up all across the country as the police checks out and stops intervention actions and the schools shut down and many now learning from home and travel less.
You are correct that significantly more children die from inner city gun violence than from mass shootings in schools. It would be logical to try to find ways to prevent/reduce both types of child death by gun. Something needs to change. There is no easy answer, and improvement will have to come from a multi-faceted approach.
