I bet you are pro life aren't you? Posted some "save the children" hashtags maybe.

You can’t legislate away evil, period.

I don't understand why schools can't have better security.

My work (which isn't that secure) still has two guard shacks you have to walk through before evening reaching the building to enter. Over 2000 people a day go through.

My kid's school I could walk up and wait for someone to open a door and walk right in. Or shoot the glass out and open it myself and no one would even see me til I was inside basically.

what percentage of schools would need to be shot up before you would ask congress to pass more strict gun legislation?

---

ZERO

There is not a single law congress can pass that will prevent school shootings. I challenge you to please provide a single law passed by the government that would solve this.

The only measure that MIGHT make a small decrease, is the wholesale banning, and confiscation of all firearms. And that ain't happening.

Let me ask you this victoire, do you ever find it extremely hypocritical that the same people that constantly berate us about "common sense gun legislation" all have security guards? Do you know why we, civilians, protect our guns? Because tyrants, criminals, and general bad guys wish to do innocent people harm. Take away Nancy Pelosi's body guards. What happens when the "white supremacists" the left keeps fabricating, try to attack her. How does a feeble old woman protect herself? Now what about innocent every day people? How do they protect themselves from criminals? Are there laws on the books that make criminals stop doing criminal shite? NO.

We didn't have an issue with school shootings until the 90's, some 30+ years. We've been having the 2nd amendment since 1791, 231 years. How are the guns the ones at fault, when we have centuries of history without school shootings?

The fact of the matter is, the real issue is mental health. We've boarded up all the nuthouses and insane asylums. When people say insane, crazy shite, the left comes in and gives them holidays and demands the rest of society accept insanity as the "new normal". We don't treat mental illness anymore. It is promoted, and given a holiday, and the left tells us if we don't recognize obvious mental illness as a lifestyle choice then we are bigots. We are then told by that same left, that every problem you have in life, is not your fault. It's someone else.

We then have the insanity incubator known as social media. Only on social media can clinically insane children and adults form promotion groups. These aren't groups looking for support, these are groups looking for media coverage and acknowledgement. Not acknowledgement for help, but acknowledgement for embracing the mental illness.

This is a literal insane world. The mental damage is being promoted by a segment of society and any measures promoted to curb this mental degeneration is attacked, ridiculed, and beaten into submission. There is no amount of laws that the left wants to pass that will stop mentally deranged people from doing mentally deranged things. The measures that could be done to help, would be to open up insane asylums around the country, but ones that looked at treatment instead of nothing but pills as a solution.

And the final point, laws don't prevent criminals from stopping crime. The strictest gun laws in the country are in the most liberal urban areas, that often have the highest crime rates in the country. Making guns more illegal only creates more victims, AND YOU KNOW THAT.

No offense, but I think this guy is way past some supernatural entity helping him if hes massacring children at school

None taken, but it’s the reason for it, the gaping hole in his life, the empty vacuum in his heart and perverse mindset that took over that space. Had he truly ever come to a place in his life where he sincerely sought out and then accepted Christ, he would never be the same. You can’t be, because there’s something that happens to the individual who comes to the saving knowledge of Him that it changes you forever. You can still go off the reservation so to speak, but you can’t do it without a very serious battle with reconciling it with God.

I don’t know every little thing going on with this guy, but I do know this, and that the further this country moves away from God and His precepts, the more screwed up it becomes, and that is rooted in simple personal observation over the years I have been alive. We’ve been trending downward since the 60’s and besides some saving graces here and there, the overall direction we are heading toward as a nation is not a good place, and that’s largely because we’ve forgotten about our God and our founding as a nation, and so wickedness is taking it’s place in our lives and in our country’s direction.

Back to the drawing board

The sad truth is you are already outgunned by the government and no amount of .223 or 7.62 is going to save you. The sooner you accept that, the sooner we can have a meaningful dialogue about violence in American society.

1) Pretty sure there are serious repercussions if the US government drone bombed US citizens (unless you are Obama).
2) Removing guns does NOTHING to stop violence. I'm assuming you are coming at this situation thinking like a man, right? Most of us here are males. So we use bravado to say, "i don't need a gun to protect myself, especially if the criminal doesn't have a gun". Well, for starters, making guns more illegal is NOT going to stop criminals. And b) what about women and the elderly? Women are the largest category of victims of violent crime in this country. How do they protect themselves from violent men, who have more muscle mass, denser bone structure, and are much more aggressive? How do the defenseless protect themselves? I would really like someone to answer this. How do the "targets" of violent crime protect themselves when their only equalizer, a gun, is deemed illegal, and they can no longer protect themselves? A taser? Sure, you may get 1, but what if, there are multiple attackers? Don't know of many revolver tasers.

Not less

How do you determine if someone is "good"?
