Texas school shooting

When does adulthood start? When do we judge someone old enough to sign a contract? If you aren't mature enough to own a weapon, then I sure don't want you voting either. Originally Posted by texassapper

And what happened to gun crime last time there was an “assault weapons” ban? (Here’s a hint: nothing) Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

Apparently so.

Why does a “law-abiding” citizen need a fucking semiautomatic weapon? Why does anyone?

You assholes love your guns more than children.

Shame

... Should the police and military NOT have semiautomatic weapons??

Do you even know what that means, or are you just another misinformed loudmouth? What percentage of gun crimes, or fending off crimes for that matter, do you think are ~not~ committed with a semi-automatic (bolt action, lever action, single action revolver). I’d guess <1%. A semi-automatic is the gold standard for self defense, which is why nearly every LEO, military, and anyone else concerned with self preservation carries one.

The issue is that everyone, save a very few, are afraid to address the underlying problem, lest they get attacked by the woke mob. Same goes for poverty in the black/Hispanic communities. Graduate high school, get a job, get married before having kids, in that order, and your chances of living in poverty are nearly nonexistent. Go say those simple facts on cnn and you’ll be crucified in the media. Until we’re willing to admit the real problem it’ll never be fixed, just like an alcoholic.

Edit: I forgot about The Rifleman who posts here. He’s the only guy on the planet who prefers a lever action hunting rifle for home defense. I tend to think 99% of what he says is bullshit tho.

No AR purchases for anyone under 21...even if they carry one in the military duties? Or police duties? Or they have an AK variant? Or how about if they want to commit murder with a more devastating weapon, the shotgun. The shotgun is a more effective weapon at close range and can be reloaded on the fly (meaning that you insert shells every time you pause in your shooting) Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

Theses are natural questions to ask and they can all come to a reasonable, responsible solution.


Personally, I think 20-21, is to young to become a police officer. Military personnel have a command structure much different than the normal 18-20 year old deals with, with more training. Does this "guarantee" these kinds of incidents won't happen? Of course not and this isn't a problem that can ever be solved 100%. That is what compromise is all about. Arriving at solutions that 60 Senators can agree on is the best first step.


I have no problem banning all weapon sales to anybody under 21. Will this "guarantee" it will never happen again? No. Will it in all likely hood prevent some incidents from happening? I think it would help.


Just heard a parent of one of the Parkland kids going over what the state of Florida did in response to the Parkland shooting. Perimeter fencing. Single point of entry and at least one armed guard at that point of entry


Bottom line is that not all schools did any where near all these things that the "experts" now deem necessary.


Billions of Covid money sent to schools to up grade ventilation systems but none to harder school defenses.


What the fuck is wrong with these school administrators?

In the state of Florida, you have to be 21 to rent a car. I've heard it is 26 in some states.


Voting, contracts, gun ownership can all be debated and all have different ages applied and should be done by the states.

Man, do you not get it yet?

What makes you think there would be a Security Guard on site the entire school day?

What makes you think one guard could stop any massacre? Uvalde and Sandy Hook failed.

What makes you think one guard would be in the exact space at the right time, when a shooter walks in a propped open door?

You guys, um, slay me Originally Posted by Chung Tran

actually, a security guard will stop 99% of those incidents.


They are not perfect, but they'll do the job.

regarding locked doors at school. apparently one of the doors was unlocked, it seems that it was a teacher who unlocked it temporarily. why? This teacher left the cell phone in the car and went to there to retrieve it.

You got a theory about that, too?

Walked out on a room full of reporters........... Are they still called that?

Sometimes I think that silly hat of yours is on your head too tight. Who hell are you criticizing?

Offer a reasonable solution! A lot of blame to go around.

Last year 21 children were murdered in St. Louis, over 100 shot. Hear anything about that? I guess one or two at a time is not as serious as 19 at once. This year so far 58 shot and by the grace of God only 3 deaths.

Hear anything about that? Of course not. Because.......

St. Louis has had a democrat for Mayor continuously since 1947. A democrat in the 1st Congressional district for the last 52+ years. We also have one of those Soros funded Prosecuting Attorney’s who doesn’t prosecute crime.

This shit has been going on for years in democrat controlled cities like Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC , New York, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, etc. Many have very restrictive gun laws.
Why don’t the democrats have a proven solution for us?

Haven't you solved this problem in any of your cities?

The reason school shootings are so different is White, suburban soccer moms who are politically left can identify with the situation because they have little darlings in elementary school too.

Were you under the misconception that Democrats give a shit about minorities anymore than Republicans do? They keep them yoked pretty tight... any straying from the plantation and they get labeled an uncle Tom pretty quickly.

Uh, You're seeing the Democrats solution. It's advantageous to them politically because, ultimately their goal is to disarm the populace so that the voters cannot resist the use of Government force. As long as dead kids are useful for them, there will never be a solution to school shootings.

Red flag laws would need to be objective. Ban shotguns and all guns under 20 or 21. Sure, increase age requirement to vote to 20 or 21.

Bottom line - don’t take away guns and more importantly you won’t stop all the insanity. But we need to do something. Hard to explain to the poor 4th grade girl covering herself in blood and the boy that just wants to stay home due to the trauma he’s gone through. Not to mention the parents and families who’ve lost loved ones. Shit the husband whose wife died passing away of a heart attack while placing flowers on the memorial at the school fence.

I’m no freaking liberal but we have to do something.
