re: This is the ONLY answer to school shootings

Motor Vehicles are a million times more efficient. You can drive your car through a crowded intersection or a school yard at lunch. Better ban all motor vehicles.

Also Pipe bombs at school assemblies. Better ban nails and marbles and pipes and gas and butane while we're at it.

With the current civil unrest going on in America, you truly think that this is not a possible scenario, whether it be your home or business?

What are you talking about man? We have never had natural disasters or police killings or super bowl victories that have left entire cities without rule of law for hours or days or weeks at a time

I’m not advocating for everyone with an assault rifle to turn in their guns. That is a ridiculous request. No one is saying that at all actually.

You can however stop selling assault rifles to anyone who passes a background check. Then require everyone to keep guns at gun ranges. Which can only be enforced if you see someone with a semi automatic rifle outside of gun ranges. Then you fine them, take the gun to the gun range of their choosing where it can be stored.

There are a lot of good and different ways to increase gun control. Shouting it’s taking our freedom, it’s the only way to protect my home because apparently pistols and shotguns can’t, and these people are going to do it anyways is just silly arguments in my opinion.

School shootings like this are an american pandemic. Not worldwide. There are shootings at schools in other countries, but not in the large numbers as here. I guess you can blame the healthcare system as well? But I doubt the people who are shouting gun control is taking my freedom are the type of people who want universal healthcare that would allow these type of people to get mental healthcare to maybe prevent this.

Motor vehicles contribute so much to society economically, socially, etc. and are much more restricted than guns by the government, guns are good for controlling the population of deer.

Pretty much the same trade offs here right?

Nice deflection. Now I see why you're in this thread, and no need to take anything you're saying seriously. You move the goalposts to support your poor argument. The matter discussed was an individual protecting his home (I added business). If you don't think in times of civil unrest, one person's home, or business, has ever been invaded by large groups of armed thugs, you're just being dishonest.

But keep changing the argument every time someone points out the flaw in your statement. I'd do the same if I had an agenda I couldn't honestly defend.

It already is for everyone that goes. There is no protection from attacks like the other day.

I'm pretty sure he agreed with you and then you called him an idiot for agreeing with you?

Is that what just happened Festy?

My father in law is packing. He's a teacher who got trained and is carrying a gun at school. School paid for him to have the classes and it's a hush hush that he has one at school

Okay. So how many mass killings in America have there been this year using motor vehicles? And where can you easily buy pipe bombs? Because with your argument, we could just ban guns all together and you can go just build you own gun. Then it’s a win win? And I think someone mentioned that with the civil unrest, you might legitimately have a small army of people trying to kill you? Really?

Every argument against gun control has been just hypotheticals. But we know that with these school shootings, most of the semi automatic rifles have been bought legally. Sometimes not obtained by the person the self, but in this last shooting he got it legally.

Better gun education doesn’t stop psychopaths from getting semi automatic rifles. It just teaches people how to use them more effectively.
