Prayers to the families

Absolutely right. Look around and see what kind of money gets pissed by local, state, and federal government. For example, here in Houston they’re getting ready to spend 103 million dollars renovating the Astrodome into some kind of bullshit or another. We’re less than six months from a massive flood that wiped out a good portion of the city. Thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes here. I know a lot of people who lost their homes in the flood. Not a single one of them has gotten it back yet. And we’re gonna fix a nearly sixty year old stadium up for tourists.

Don’t tell me we can’t afford to make our schools safer.

 

Too bad that guy didn’t do the world a favor and suck start his rifle in his moms basement.

I wish we stopped creating soft targets with these gun free zones. It’s a complete failure as a policy.

But before you start having a panic attack over your kids safety, look at the numbers. The biggest threat to your high school age child is them driving. Not trying to diminish what happened, just pointing out the extreme odds of this happening to you.

 

Today's culture. The perp had serious mental/stability issues that were totally ignored. Signs were out there.>>>>>Root cause needs to be addressed. I feel so sad for the victims and their families. Why can't we protect our most precious at school? There will always be evil. Evil can be defeated with common sense.

 

guy had the back luck for having a similar name but the real killer name is Nikolas Jacob Cruz

My prayers for those lives taken for no reason, so sad that this happen again and seems that no body cares to fix the problem with guns in wrong hands.

My opinion is that every school must have a unique IN/OUT way a security guard and metal detectors to detect any artifacts getting into the facility, most federal buildings have this so why not in schools?

 

I've bee not thinking recently of how to help prevent this, and I believe I acsme up with a solution and guns do not have to be banded!!

REMOVE LETHAL AMMO

All we would have to do is put rubber bullets and bean bag shells into the market and remove all lethals. Now I know how a lot of people are going to respond about changing the ammo, but how many people need lethal bullets? For what? To kill silhouette targets or manaquins? Now a lot of people know how to make their own bullets, but I don't think any of the mass shootings have been done with home mades. Yes, if people want to do something they will find a way. Lethal bullets shouldn't be taken off the market completely, just highly regulated for hunters, law enforcement, security and for recreational.

What are your thoughts?

 

Public executions would work also!

 

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

I don’t see anything in there about hunting or target practice.

 

Also, just in case people aren’t aware or have forgotten what explosives will do.

So we rather have the kids at risk? Or families at movie theaters? Everyone talking about their rights for guns, but no one standing up when $hit hits the fan. None of these mass shootings are being stopped by the public with guns. So why is it necessary for us to have lethals? Militia? Do you really think we could stop the government if they decided to over throw the public? Only reason y I would consider on not taking lethals off the street, is for the possibilities of foreign country invasions, but we aren't in the movies and no zombie apocalypse is coming. I trust in the USA but not the people living in it.

 

Remember the NRA member with an AR15 who stopped the church shooting recently?

Also, regarding individuals fighting the government, see the Christopher Dorner incident in Southern California.

 

Also, did you happen to gloss over my post from a few weeks back with the diagram of deaths in America? It’s near the top of this page. The numbers are incredibly low and they continue to happen in soft targets aka gun free zones.

More kids have died texting while driving in the weeks following the shooting. I don’t see people clamoring for smart phone and vehicle control.

 

It's a difficult subject and what you say is right. This has been the subject on the radios since the shooting at the school here in S. FL. What should be done to help bring more safety to our children while they are in school and the parents not around to protect them? I'm considering on getting a gun for my truck, being I'm on the road a lot. I don't think my blade is worthy in a gun fight.

 

Exactly. Until we get serious about making schools harder targets, this will continue to happen.

 

Personally I would recommend getting your carry permit, taking a few defensive pistol classes, and carrying a handgun regularly.
