Can you imagine using your children as political props and being proud of it? I guess if thinking logically is not within your abilities this is the best you can do.

So what is different between here and there? 


I have no clue but I assume you’ll tell me. 😁

I've seen this before and thought this might be a good place to share since the weekend events.     There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disp

I mentioned to hubby (and a few friends) this past weekend that the gun-grabbers make me want to get a pistol license, only problem is I'd actually have to shoot a gun. Hubby assured me I do not have

It’s the reality of the situation NO ONE WANTS TO ADMIT. We have a 2A, that’s not going away... we have 400 million firearms in the country, that’s not going away... we have the highest number of medicated people in the world. So let’s try to be proactive. 
 

Ive already linked an article showing 0 school shootings where teachers are armed over the past 20+ years. It works. 


And people scream it’s the ease of availability of firearms as the reason.  Up to 40 or so years ago (maybe even more recently) you could buy firearms via catalogs such as Sears.  No background checks. No waiting period (other then the time it to to be delivered) and no school shootings.  So can anyone advocating for more restrictions explain this?

Way too late , 393 million known guns in civilian US circulation. The barn doors  not only open they are blown off the hinges. Now we have 3D print ghost guns out there. Illegal now stop and frisk using profiling.

 

Opinion: New Law Will End Deadly ‘Flea Markets for Firearms’ at California Fairgrounds  July 10, 2021

 

Gun shows essentially are flea markets for firearms and are a primary mechanism by which unlicensed, unregistered and illegal firearms are trafficked through secondary markets. According to research by leading policy organizations, gun shows often create the opportunity to circumvent gun safety laws and are a common venue for “straw purchases” and illegal gun transfers. 

 

Gun shows also are a major conduit for the sale of ghost guns — gun precursor parts designed to be assembled into a firearm. When my staff and I recently visited a gun show, the most popular vendors were those selling ghost-gun kits for Glock-like pistols and AR-15-style rifles.

I’ve given some of my ideas already (about 5-6). But the overall facts are, criminals will continue to steal firearms or use the ones already on the streets, illegally. 
 

Lots of stolen weapons in the gang controlled cities already. They are passed around.

Studies showed, it did NOTHING to stop school shootings. You know what has? Teachers with firearms.

The problem in Buffalo was that the killer was wearing body armor. 


I understand that... but all I’ve been told here is the “the idea of a good guy with a gun is dead”. 
 

It’s NEVER been “dead”. It works. Not foolproof but seems it’s 100% proven at schools. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT

OK, so if all these illegal weapons around why don't we be proactive in stopping them from getting them?  You know the most common way they get them?  They sen someone with  a clean record to a state where it's easy to buy and then they get sold in Chicago where it's hard to buy. Why don't we come up with a way to stop that. Then slowly over time you have less and less guns as they are confiscated during crimes or thrown away after crime.  Cut off their supply chain. Cause what's happening now isn't working. 

 

Creating more lines of defenses in schools is just not normal. This school had SRO's and this Ramos kid knew it as did the kid down in parkland. They went anyways and still got passed them cause they weren't there. Not every teacher is even able to carrry. We all thought sro's would stop it...armed cops. They still try and have succeeded.  I mean we're sending kids to schools with armor plates in their backpacks in the hopes that it saves their lives. This is not first world country stuff.

Dude, it’s not normal but since the dawn of social media, breakdown of the nuclear family, violent video games and movies... the norm is out the window. So you become proactive. Look at the Capitol. 1.9 BILLION to make it more secure after Jan 6. One incident and they throw BILLIONS to fix it. Harden it. 

 

The school didn’t have a SRO there. They had them in the district but they didn’t stand watch at that school. Many focus on middle and high schools. 
 

I never said we needed to arm “all teachers”. Go to a local school and ask how many would volunteer. At mine? At least six (every one I’ve spoke to about it) have said they would. 
 

Let me ask you this, it continues to get passed over from people here for some strange reason: Why have schools who ARM TEACHERS/or/STAFF have a 100% success rate? Zero school shootings in 22 years of keeping track? Why?????

well school shootings are so very rare so arming them doesn’t really have any hard evidence. 130k schools in the country you have maybe 1 of these a year.  
 

the Texas shooing was in the 60s. There have been all sorts of mass shootings going back to the 1700s. Look it up. It’s not a modern problem. 
 

again. Cut out the supply chain of illegal weapons. Raise the age to 21. Psych evals. If that leads to less shootings that’s a good thing. We need to stop the issue from the source and not accept that some kids will die until a teacher cops or sro gets there. Stop the kid from getting the gun

So ladies and gentleman - according to Mr NRA - the United States is the ONLY country on the planet that has social media, breakdown of the nuclear family, and has access to violent video games and movies… did you know that?

 

And this guys solution is to arm our teachers with this:

Notice it’s never about easy access to guns?
