We've discovered Sasquatch the Loch Ness Unicorn.

K and I are in almost total agreement in this political post.

Troof.  That's where I'm at myself.

So, tighten up gun laws on AR-15s, assault rifles, or anything similar?

I'm all for the 2nd Amendment and everything, but a few people I know very well could arm a militia with what they have...I think that's a bit much. Then again, those friends have never once acted like the self entitled, spoiled brat, Teletubby kids do today.

He probably just wants to get into your pants. He’ll say whatever you want to hear. Even join #resist, I imagine.

Who I their right mind would go along with the left's definition of "school shooting"!

[CCTAU]

Oh. And let's just draw a picture of a scary looking rifle, and any rifle that looks like that, we'll ban!

And while we are at it, let's make drugs illegal also. That will put an end to overdoses!

Maybe we should fix the mentally ill broken system we have. Maybe if the left did not call anyone who pointed out crazy, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, etc., We could start identifying those people who wish to cause harm. Maybe if we arm teachers and get rid of those really safe "gun free zones", we can better protect the children!

No offense but the only reason that I can think of that you’d bring up such trivial info is that you are a racist, homophobe.

It’s obvious.

The worst kind.

Part of the problem. 

The left is trying to connect Trump bad = Trump loves guns = all guns bad dots by extending the definition of “school shooting” to include anything that remotely bolsters their point. 

And then you have “comedians” like Jimmy Fucknose Kimmel and Joy “Going to Hell” Behar openly mocking the prayers and signs of respect and faith.  Fools like them make rational discussion of viable solutions impossible. Maybe instead of shootings at schools we should have some soundstage.... nevermind. Don’t martyr the assholes. 

[WiregrassTiger]

Honestly, you guys should know that although Trump didn’t pull a trigger, he is responsible for legislation that encourage the mental cases to shoot up people.

He did make those laws, right?

Amen.  My thought on the bookfaces the other day was pass laws mandating an armed guard in every school, public or private.

There was a armed guard at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS.

There was a armed guard at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS.

From the Sun Sentinel.

The only person trained and armed to fight back against an assailant at Stoneman Douglas is its one school resource officer, a Broward Sheriff’s deputy funded by the city of Parkland. But Maxwell said she doesn’t think he was on campus when the shooting happened.

“I have been told by a couple of sources that the SRO was either called off campus responding to something happening or it could have been his day off,” she said. “They are stretched very thin.”


Simple.  Better planning and don't put anyone there on loan from the Sheriff's Dept.  Hire a full time, well trained security guard to work there with the sole purpose of thwarting this type situation.  As I've said several times, you can't stop everything.  If a deranged individual wants to off people, including high school students, there are 100 other ways to get it done besides storming the building with a gun.  He can wait til they hit the parking lot by the hundreds.  But you CAN stop this shit with an armed guard at the only entrance/exit to the place.

Many vets would volunteer. They could be armed with tasers and shotguns with bean bags and take out any threats.


It’s not hard to arm people with even non lethal weapons and have much better odds against a crazy person!
