I don’t have full confidence that the criminals that have guns will follow proper gun laws.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned in the thread but killing people is SUPER illegal. Like the most illegal thing you can do.

I have heard people claim that mental hospitals were "as bad as Auschwitz" (exact words). Completely ridiculous.

I mean they kind of were.

This idea that Reagan shut down the looney bins is revisionist crap. Shutting these places down was the progressive Daily Kos of the era.

Even today you can't dig a sewer trench around some of these places without uncovering unmarked graves.

I am an NRA member, but this might be the only wiggle room I have for gun control. Boost the age to 20, maybe, because the maturity age of just about everyone born after 1990 is roughly 2-3 years behind their actual age.

Incredibly sensible
If you can't drink in most states before you can buy a gun there is a problem.

Or lower the age of alcohol so they kill themselves instead

We don't

We used to.

We now live in a community

sad to see this happen though

i’m curious to even know if there is a solution to this problem? do we just keep letting our kids go to school while congress tries to restrict gun laws and hope someone doesn’t do it again? it’s always interesting to see peoples take on it. from mental illness to gun control to all this shit. wonder if there’s a TRUE and HONEST way

Yeah but at the same time the government will give you an actual assault rifle and tell you to kill brown people for freedom at 18.

A long rant from the person that wrote this

[Full Race Replay]

I'm reading some pretty conflicting information, so correct me if im wrong...That being said, I thought i read border patrol was already pursuing this man before he was able to reach the school? Again, it could all be bullshit speculation..., but if true; this marks one of the first mass shootings, as far as I can remember, where the shooter was actively being chased towards the eventual crime scene and was still able to accomplish somewhat of his goal.

He was being chased by police after killing his grandma. That's what i picked up from reading here, someone can correct me if wrong

No:

Lets say you are 100% pro Homo
and 100% abortion on demand

And there is a lefty politician who gives cover to cops shooting black kids.

You can remove him from office.....but....you would have to risk some one who isn't on the same team as you on those two drop dead issues.

So you vote for the guy who lets black people kill cops.

So Black Lives don't actually Matter.

If a politician does something harmful we need to have a red line where we will hold our nose and support some one willing to do anti-harm or at least 0 harm

I agree with your sentiment, but the average person doesn't even really care what a candidates actual policies are. They just listen to them speak and listen to what the corporate shills say about them.

 

[ThatGuyWithTheBashes]

Jesus fuck, glad this dude is dead. And hopefully this whole entire ordeal will have more answers than the Sandy Hook shit. RIP to the victims and children though. And the parents that have to suffer cause of this loser.

 

[Haramburger]

Typical twitter slacktivist leftists would not come here to debate.

Even if they did:

 

[BillTheButcher]

Thing is, I actually kind of like your idea. Really, I do.

But it's not going to happen, ever, and I understand why. No principal or school board wants that nightmare scenario to happen, and even if they did, ONE incident is all it would take for this policy to be buried deeper than Jimmy Hoffa.

With that perspective, I totally agree. We live in the day and age of liability calculation. Insurance alone would make it nigh impossible, and the school board meetings would be cancer.

most people vote the same party consistently in the states its 10% or less who swap

 

[Starscreams Cape]

Yeah but at the same time the government will give you an actual assault rifle and tell you to kill brown people for freedom at 18.

Yea, I know that. I honestly don't have a good response for it, either. Maybe someone smarter than me does.

A public school teacher is exponentially more likely to sexually abuse an American kid than a member of the church

Most kids spend roughly 35 hours a week school (and more if they're involved in extracurricular activities), but only 2 or so hours at church. Logically, the probability of a kid being preyed upon by a teacher is going to be much higher.

 

[Totallyunknown]

Another 18-35 year old male does a heinous crime?

Maybe America should be worried about guns when you have an epidemic of shitty men? Like maybe it IS actually a problem with culture and society? Maybe if you produce enough retards and expose them to enough violent media, eventually this happens?

So maybe, recognizing that a large part of the population is actually retarded, maybe as a consequence it's time to not sell guns openly and easily? Let the remaining rednecks and retards keep their guns but do it like New Zealand with cigarettes and none of the new generation can easily acquire it and if you're a parent of a child of the new generation maybe it's a whole different set of rules because maybe it turns out millennial and zoomers are "special".

This article goes into detail on what worked and didn't work with prohibition: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470475/

If your argument is that "drinking was reduced", sure, it did that, but you're then completely ignoring the sharp uptick in crime associated with alcohol, like bootleggers and people producing their own alcohol which was often contaminated or outright poisoned which was then sold, or people getting robbed when trying to buy from said bootleggers, and the article also boils the organized criminals operating during prohibition down to two whole sentences and doesn't even acknowledge how large of a role it played and how it gave them a large revenue stream that had consequences for years after the fact. So again, please explain to me how prohibiting guns would have anything but disastrous consequences for America.

So. This person left nothing of a manifesto or anything online?
He just had killed someone and was on the run and decided to just stop by a middle school and merk 18+ children? TF world we in.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Yea, I know that. I honestly don't have a good response for it, either. Maybe someone smarter than me does.

Nah I get you and I would agree that I think 20 or 21 would be a good age but at the same time the government doesn't give a fuck, if you are 18 here and go kill. It is just a massive shit sandwich and I hate it.

Always remember:

Military Grade: Made by the lowest bidder, designed by committee, does not have to function well for the company to move millions. Maintained by retards, operated by retards. Beat up, kept long past its expiration date, used in ways it shouldn't be, dropped, thrown, used to stir burning garbage, damaged from 'over-cleaning' to satisfy some fuckhead armorer.

Civilian Grade: Has to work or it doesn't sell. Kept in a gun cabinet. Only used on weekends.

If these were "military grade assault rifles" or "military grade battle rifles", then they'd jam the second trigger pull, explode when the trigger is pulled, not work at all, or be locked in a cage where they couldn't get to it.

Lol this. I have a basic as basic comes FDE PA-15 M4. My ma always tells me it looks like "one of those middle east guns the army uses". Anything but

The amount of AR owners who have a gun strapped to their wad of tacticool stupid shit and even they call it "military" is insane.
