Unfortunately in an issue like mass shootings, there would need to be compromise to help improve situations. What is the compromise? I don’t have that answer.


The people that founded the nation wrote shall not be infringed on one amendment and it was for a specific purpose. You can compromise all you want on other issues, but there is one where there can be no compromise.

You think maybe it’s possible for intelligent people to disagree about a topic because they have different experiences, a different station in life, different priorities, or a different world view.



Intelligent people say terribly unintelligent things ll the tine though.

That's all well and good, but I don't have to acquiesce to some crazy thoughts just to be nice. I think we've gotten to where we are currently because we coddle too much.

I’m not telling you what to believe. Scholars have disagreed over topics like this for years. I disagree with you, and that’s ok. I won’t let your opinions upset me, and mine shouldn’t upset you.

Were there any school security cops/officers at this school?


Yes. I just saw where they reported that he exchanged gunfire with the shooter but was struck before he entered the school.

An amendment is by definition a change because of a compromise due to what people thought was a better piece to the constitution. Not that I agree with it, but there is absolutely compromise to the constitution, and has been a lot.

That’s a contributing factor, no doubt. I’d say another contributing factor is that political emphasis has made everything think in terms of black and white, or “I’m right and you’re wrong.”

Yep… after walking into a school…with a gun… and shooting a bunch of children.

Gun ownership is clearly the winner you absolute clown.



Again, do you know how the shooter was killed? Someone with no argument resorts to ad-hominem attacks (look it up if you don't know what that means). You might want to leave while you're behind; this is not working out the way you thought that this would.

But thanks for playing.

Some things are black and white though All i see is you deciding fighting for what you believe(d) in is no longer worth it for you. That's fine, but don't expect many to agree.

I don’t think anything is black and white. There’s over 300 million people in this country. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach for anything. I’ll fight for what I need to, but I’ve evolved. My thoughts have evolved.

That's fine


But is it? Not trying to pick a fight, but you don’t seem fine with it.

Yea, this place is full of idiots. Just because they think doesn't mean they are right.

It's fine for you to feel that way. Don't expect everyone to just give up like you.

Again, not sure what this is supposed to mean. This country is full of idiots, also full of intelligent people. We are shaped by our communities. There’s valid reasons why someone from New York wouldn’t agree with someone from the South.

Again, you’re not so subtle jabs are noted. What you perceive as “giving up”, I view as evolution of thought. People are exposed to more information than ever nowadays. We have access to unlimited resources and material. With that, thoughts and outlooks on life can, and probably should, change.

Yet gun control advocates refuse to use this built in method to modify or repeal the 2nd, and instead try to fight it in the courts.

Why is that?

This is completely untrue. Tannerite has to be hit with a minimum of 2000FPS projectile. Which is your standard supersonic rifle round. Not a BB gun or slingshot.



theres literally videos of tannerite being exploded in every manner i mentioned.

And facebook did nothing to stop it. I blame Facebook. We need common-sense facebook reform.

Have you ever shot tannerite? I've personally shot it with subsonic rifle rounds and it would not explode. You are incorrect and you absolutely cannot get 50lbs for 100 bucks. Just because you seen it on youtube doesn't mean it can actually happen.

Right, and the compromise was that there would be no compromise....shall not be infringed.

Beto O’Rourke can eat a bag of fricking dicks. I would say he’s pure evil, but I think that would require a two digit IQ.

Wasn’t this all in a span of about 30 minutes, though?
