Again, you're talking about our Founding Fathers who wrote the Bill or Rights.

Moronic tweet award goes to Betty Bowers for May 24th

I work at a high school of around 800 kids (5A school in Oklahoma, 6A is the largest). We have a hard point entrance. Always locked. The doors to the art building, gym and cafeteria? Always locked. Never unlocked. Not even now as school is out and admin is working. There are hundreds of cameras. If you get into the front door, there is a secondary LOCKED door. The front office has to let you in at all points. We used to have a SRO in the front, officer from my town. We are getting a new one next year as well as a security guard at the gate again. The high school my girls went to (same town), it's even harder to get into. There are ways to try and prevent these things as they play out. It won't stop all of them, but the DO stop them and have every year. Until you throw out ideas, no need for you to participate in this IMO.

What gun control do you want? Background checks on all gun purchases? Already a law. And "control women's bodies" - you mean abortion? Because most pro-life people don't care if a woman gets butt implants or a tattoo. It's 100% about abortion. Just be honest and stop saying "women's bodies".

I'm interested if that's really true. It was reported before he was wearing a "tactical vest" which you can get about anywhere. Buying body armor isn't as easy as you normally have to order it and it can take weeks to get.

It's not a football game dude. Winning and losing isn't a part of this.

And how do you think that would go? Around 400 deaths per year carried out by rifles (including the AR platform). This is out of 20,000,000+ AR style rifles in the country.

You're so full of crap dude. Where has ANY gun owner wanted that? It's BS by people like you. New flash... a study showed that less than 1% of firearms bought legally were used in a gun crime (Washington Post article). Legal permit owners 18x less likely to commit a violent crime than your regular Joe. WE aren't the problem. Until you people can understand that, nothing will change.

Solid response 👍🏻

I didn’t think you’d actual give me any ideas. I’ve posted ideas. Only thing I’ve heard here has been “ban assault weapons”. “You guys won”. Huh? The founding fathers won? The men who created the Bill or Rights?

First, I was explaining the idea that having armed people in a school doesn’t stop shooters is a fallacy. There is now reports of NO SRO at that school. Second... what “minor gun control measure” do you think would stop evil or criminals? I’d love to hear it.

I can post a ton of articles where a SRO stopped a school shooting. So it DOES happen often. https://www.police1.com/active-shooter/articles/police-school-resource-officer-disarmed-gunman-at-mich-high-school-AYGy3oOOy71kZtFV/

I did. After he went after me. You miss that?

Completely untrue. There are way more accounts of it stopping violent acts than not. Because we can disagree and have conversations/debates without being as*holes to each other.

Simply not true. Dozens of new laws post Sandy Hook were put in place.

How about.... f-off? You don’t know me you as*hole.

So the planned meeting, WAY before the shooting is relevant, how?

Again, let me know. You didn’t answer my question. We have over 20,000 gun laws in America today. Just FYI.

Gotta allow front office workers to be armed. I’m in a high school, former military and would 100% protect the kids.

find a Republican who isn’t outraged by this. Let me know. Thank you.

I plan on going (taking the GF to her first NFL game) to the Kansas City game in Arrowhead this year... having family who live in Blue Springs, MO and only a 6 hour drive for me here in Oklahoma.... Anyone got their tickets yet? Was hoping to sit close to fellow Bills fans... and of course, figure out where we will be tailgating. THX!

My bad.

Like burning down sections of neighborhoods? Destruction of property? Looting?

Soooo.... what's the timeline of overcoming those injustices? 50 years? 100? 400? At some point you stop the excuses.

I'm very aware of what took place at Black Wall Street. I lived outside Tulsa for several years... what happened there was a f'ing injustice unlike anything seen outside slavery and the Democrats KKK. That said, the black middle class and upper class in Tulsa at the time were rising... and at a time just 50 years after slavery was abolished. There were black businesses men who had net worth of (todays numbers) in the MILLIONS living in Tulsa. How did that happen? Choice maybe? Of course, racism... segregation, etc. ALL plays into the struggles the black population. But in 2022? IMO, again, no. At some point, when do people pull themselves up? I work at a High School were we have all ranges on the socioeconomic scale... a high school who has around 60% minority (probably 45% black). There are COUNTLESS kids who went on to be doctors, lawyers, nurses, business people, etc. VERY poor white, black and Hispanic kids who succeed. Very wealthy kids who fail. In 2022 it's a CHOICE. Sure, there are always environmental factors but you ultimately made a decision to go one way or the other. Again, Dr. Ben Carson is a GREAT example. The guy was on the wrong track as a young kid... but made a different choice. It's NO different from a upper middle class or wealthy white kid who decides to make bad choices and ends up poor or worse. I see it all the time.
