School shootings on the rise

Putting guns into schools???? Arming teachers???
Idiotic!
The height of foolishness, shear stupidity!

It is the ease of availability in obtaining lethal weapons by those who should never be allow to own or operate that is the root of this problem.

Adding more guns will not fix this problem any more then additional nukes will make us safer.


Besides what happens to a teacher who refuses to carry? When students grab the weapon from a packing teacher?

Wayne LaPierre in his CPAC speech disparages "elites" and "the privileged" and "the powerful" and Washington in general. His compensation from the NRA tops $5 million annually, tax documents show.


Yet fools like Whell buy into this kind of BS, constantly. How ignorant must they be?

NRA goes on the offensive after Parkland shooting, assailing media and calling for more armed school security

More school security and who will pay for this? Tax payers of course just so the NRA can peddle more guns for NSSF (gun manufacturer's association). NRA is just their mouthpiece. Schoos are hurting, teachers are grossly underpaid and we are going to spend scant funds or rent-a-cops? This is what I call a Fucking Joke.

“They don’t care about our school children,” LaPierre said near the start of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the largest annual gathering of American conservatives. “They want to make all of us less free.”

Listen asshole, it's the school children who marched to Tallahassee because they have found that it's the politicians who don't give a shit about them.

Of course the Dotard is now trumpeting Wayne. Of course he does not have any sane advisors to lead him by the nose.

‘ATTACKS WOULD END!’: Trump doubles down on arming some teachers, defends NRA

Keep talking asshole, the GOP needs you this November.

Ok... so we put guns in schools. Big guns like the shooters use.
The shooters will not go to the schools any more.
They will go to a church.
So, we put those big guns in churches too.
Now no shooters will go to churches. But then, they show up at the mall.
So, we put guns in the mall, then the shooters go to the movie theaters... and we put guns there....

And, what about all the other soft targets.... grocery stores, hospitals, concerts, busy city centers, sub ways.....
where do we draw the line? Where does it stop?
How does it stop?

It is not supposed to and that is the whole strategy of NSSF/NRA. Their intend is to sell guns, more guns, even more powerful guns. They wqnt you to believe that only guns, preferably bigger guns will stop gun violence.

Now someone please tell me why I cannot carry a concealed gun into an airplane? Whatever happened to my 2A rights?

The real reason Congress banned assault weapons in 1994 — and why it worked

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...why-it-worked/

But the 1994 assault weapons ban was never intended to be a comprehensive fix for “gun violence” writ large. Its purpose, according to gun violence experts and the lawmakers who wrote the bill, was to reduce the frequency and lethality of mass shootings like the ones in Parkland, Sandy Hook and elsewhere. And on that front, the data shows it had a significant impact.

Klarevas has compiled data on gun massacres involving six or more fatalities for the 50 years before 2016. His numbers show that gun massacres fell significantly during the time the assault weapons ban was in place, and skyrocketed after the ban lapsed in 2004. A separate mass shooting database compiled by Mother Jones magazine shows a similar trend.

Besides voting Repubes completely out of office, which, sadly, will never happen, we can help by contributing to the kids’ gofundme fundraiser here:

Thanks I contributed yesterday and this could turn out to be a powerful movement. Much cheaper to mobilize students (most are low budget) and are passionate about what they believe in.

And the Gov. Rick Scott who is planning to run for Senate is standing firm on his unconditional support of the NRA, i.e., no gun control. Hope they vote him out.

OMG. Armed Sheriff's deputy was on site at the school, did nothing.
