Can you believe these idiots were marching to have their rights taken away from them?

More legislation will not fix the problem. Until you fix the heart and mind, these incidents will continue. It all starts at home before you ever step foot in school. Kids need a healthy family structure with engaged parents and positive influences. This is a moral problem, not a legislative one.

Perfectly stated.

How about starting with "thou shalt not kill".

Did I read somewhere that there have been 18 school shootings already in 2018?

I don't have a solution. What solutions are the pro gun people proposing?

Arm willing teachers.

And if they are not willing they have no right to say that they would do anything for their students.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz now introducing legislation for background checks to buy ammunition. My problem with gun control is that the democrats don't even make it a secret that they want to ban all guns. I would be in favor of tougher rules on purchasing guns if I could be assured that they wouldn't ultimately go after all guns. Of course these are the same people telling you to rely on the police to protect. How did that work out? The cops waited outside while the school was getting shot up. Fuck that, you can't have my guns and I will never give them up.

My wife is a teacher and not willing to carry a gun but she'd just on top of one of her students to protect them in a second. Don't say teachers aren't willing to do anything for their students just because some aren't willing to carry a gun. That's bullshit.

School shootings are recorded based on shootings that happen on school property whether class is in session or not. A guy could commit suicide on the slide in the elementary school playground at 2 AM and it's classified as a school shooting. 18 is not accurate.

Good point:

I think the video games these kids play also has a negative role. I am for metal detectors. If a school has an open campus those might not work tho.

Anything means anything. Carry a gun. That's part of anything.

Yeah, not wanting to carry a gun if you're a teacher doesn't say shit about you as an individual.

Most teachers don't see themselves in a security position. They are teachers not cops. They are there to educate.

This is what it says. It says there are some things some teachers would not do to save the kids. Period. Own the truth.

Seems like these kids are really concerned about their own safety. Think they would be willing to give up their cell phones to prove it? Texting and driving kills more teens than guns.

  • Every day, 11 teenagers die because they were texting while driving.
  • 94% of teenagers understand the consequences of texting and driving, but 35% of them admitted that they do it anyway.
  • Of all the teenagers ever involved in fatal accidents every year, 21% were using a cell phone at the time of the accident.

The truth is arming teachers is a dumb idea. That's the truth. If you want more security in the schools, great but not teachers. It's not part of their job.

Here's a thought, why don't you actually focus on parenting your children to be capable of facing adversity? Of course the left wants to teach children they are special little butterflies and everyone is equal, then when they actually have to face life's challenges they fold.

Reading the bible would be a good start - cuz the whole gun control thing isn't happ3ning

Took a lot of neglect to reach the point we find ourselves at, going to take more than a band-aid to fix. Moral corruption can be brushed over with quick fixes. Unfortunately, we live in a world of instantaneous gratification, so the task ahead will require commitment. Start with yourself and those around you.
