I think people should be 21 before purchasing anything more than a hunting rifle.

There are more sub 21 year olds that I know who can handle a fire arm that people over 21 if you include Enlisted Military.

Attacks on a known mentally and physically crippled poster = I lack the intelligence to respond in a manner that is on par with the level of smarts I intend to present.

I concur. There’s no reason to attack Chris’s weak, noodly legs when he gives you so much ammo. Mocking the fact that he hangs out in a baby jumper while he posts drivel is just a cheap shot. Oweo is despised because his opinions and musings are mostly vile, not because he’s basically a land bound squid with arms.

But I think there are some safety precautions that should be taken when it comes to guns. I think people should be 21 before purchasing anything more than a hunting rifle.

I think everyone who purchases a gun for the first time should be required to go to a 3 or 4 day safety class. You have to go to a safety class to get a hunter's license so I think that would be a reasonable requirement. And the instructor could serve as a filter.. Every once in awhile there might be someone they pick up on that might need to look more into..

it’s interesting that those who want stricter gun laws also want unfettered unrestricted tax payer funded immigration and abortion. just saying.

Like the dude who shot up the grocery store. He went purchase the gun himself.. Someone like that. If he has to go to a safety class for a few days first, he might drop some hints that raises some flags.

---

for the case you are mentioning the red flags had already been raised. He threatened a school shooting a year before, got a quick psych evaluation, and was released. So much for your red flags.

but there are some reasonable things that can be done to help prevent guns getting into the wrong hands.

---

more restrictions for legal safe gun owners, while failing to punish or identify violent criminals?

Tragic and horrible. But I still think civilians should be able to own any type of arms that they can afford.

Yes that includes a tank, fighter jet, naval vessel and a nuke.

Why would anyone's political views matter?

Are you fricking new to this country? Have you been asleep the past ten or so years?

Political views are *everything* now. And it will be weaponized, whether that's mental health screening requirements, registration requirements, class requirements, etc.

of course

As for the pics of the 2 AR type rifles, one is a Daniel Defense with an Eotech, at least $2K I'd guess. Dunno about the other, maybe some gun board can figure it out. Where does a HS kid in the sticks come up with spare change to buy that kind of kit? Selling drugs? Stolen? Owned by a relative? Any word on the father?

Email I just received from our Texas School District:

Today, tragedy struck a Texas school district, taking the lives of at least 14 students and one teacher and injuring others. The events in Uvalde are truly devastating and sadden us all.

We know situations like these often lead to questions about Frisco ISD’s safety practices. Even though schools are closed for summer break, we want to share the proactive measures Frisco ISD has implemented in an effort to maintain safe and secure learning environments for our students and staff.

In 2018, Frisco ISD hired a full-time emergency manager to oversee hazard and risk assessment, emergency operations plan development, overall district preparedness and other duties and tasks related to incident response and recovery. This position, as well as our Director of Security, works closely with local law enforcement, fire-rescue and emergency management organizations to ensure the District is able to appropriately prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies affecting FISD students, staff and families.

Frisco ISD has a number of safety features and practices in place on each campus to help prevent and mitigate incidents. These include, but are not limited to:

Security cameras and double-door, keyless entry systems with single access points

Access control systems that screen visitors for entry

Criminal background checks on all employees, volunteers and contractors who work on District property

Crisis management plans and teams at each campus

Regular safety drills and training for staff

School resource officers on secondary campuses, with middle school officers also responsible for two to three elementary schools

Radio communication for administrators and staff

Full-time nurses at each campus

STOPit anonymous online tip-line

Regular, unannounced security audits

Additionally, Situational Awareness for Emergency Response (S.A.F.E.R.) is an innovative partnership with the City of Frisco that gives police, firefighters and emergency responders live access to cameras inside and outside all Frisco ISD schools, including those in Plano, McKinney and Little Elm. Should an emergency occur, first responders have immediate access to campus floor plans, photos, contact information and much more from inside their squad cars, fire trucks and ambulances. This knowledge would be critical in an actual emergency, giving personnel the ability to plan and prepare in real-time, identify the best way to address the situation and minimize any damage. S.A.F.E.R. drills are held annually between school staff and members of the Frisco fire and police departments to help coordinate prevention and response activities. Watch this recent video from the City of Frisco to learn more.

Frisco ISD has also adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), a nationally-recognized, proven methodology that ensures a uniform response by faculty, staff and students to school-based emergencies. The protocol allows for a predictable series of actions as an incident unfolds. The SRP is based upon five actions: Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter and Hold. Each action provides specific staff and student directives that are unique to the action.

Our hearts go out to the Uvalde community as we collectively mourn our fellow Texans and the innocent lives taken. Please take some time to review this information and know that the safety of your children in our schools is and will continue to be a top priority in Frisco ISD.

First time I’ve ever literally lol’d at one of your posts. Well done. Enjoy an upvote.

I thought I read the guns weren't bought legally? Is this true or not?
