Eh, some people get off on the idea. But those people are probably still going to the game this weekend.

That's a biggie.

You see it on these boards, the types of comments referenced, but I'd guess 95% of those dudes conservatively are just living a pretty darn normal life like they always have. It's just a lot of fake outrage and doing nothing bout it but complaining online, which is actually fairly ironic.

Right, it presupposes that just because you give a few teachers a gun, that they're going to be ready to get into a gun fight when the moment comes.

Run/Hide/Fight is the standard, not run to the target and shoot like it would be for a cop.

90% also talk out of their arse with the “let them come take muh guns”
Those are the best, so out of touch with reality.

They think they'd shoot all the people coming for their guns then the government would just say, "Geez, he really wants his guns, we're just going to leave him alone and let him keep his guns."

And not, ya know, that it would end 1 of 2 ways, they get your gun or you die. That's it. It doesn't mean I think it's right for them to come get our guns, but I'm self aware enough to know that it only ends 1 of 2 ways and not that no one would ever take my guns!!

The problem is most right wingers think as soon as their guns are taken that this place will turn into George Orwell’s 1984 with Big Brother coming after them.

Most gun owners just want to be left alone.

Not 1 or 2 ways, it would eventually end with your death, even if you put up a fight, and your firearms in their possession. To think otherwise is just asinine. We have some of the most well trained feds and military in the world. Your guns will be theirs and if you put up a fight you’d be in jail or dead, leaving your family without the head of house.

God forbid it ever happens. I don’t think it will come to that but I do think some type of gun/rifle restriction is coming soon.

One thing you have to consider on this, they got to find them to take them. I don't intend to make that easy if it ever came to that. Boating accidents and the like

I’m just surprised you have to explain this to fellow adults, just shows logic goes out the window from all sides on this issue.

It’s not something that can be fixed. This world has some fricked up evil shite in it; its always been here, and it’s not going anywhere.

You just hear about every single one now due to media platforms

Bring back the two parent Christian household is the only answer

The left has played the long game in destroying such households and this is 100% a direct result of that

Get people that can pass whatever mandatory psychological tests necessary and train them as marksmen to gear up in hot arse full body armor and sit, and stand and pick their noses outside the only entrance of the school during class hours 5 days a week at every elementary, middle and high school in the country. Problem finding tens of thousands of people to do this....? Get the government to fund it and give each guard recurrent training, testing and a donation bucket that great American citizens can use to give them extra take home pay.

It's hilarious that folks who referred to themselves as "the resistance" suddenly worship the government once again.

They only resist the fact they're not in power.
