Semantics, Pennsboro32.

You’re never going to stop people from murdering one another. But you can take steps to prevent things from happening such as school shootings. How many school shootings happen with a pistol?

I'm not sure what the exact answer is. I'm all for 2a rights but I do know quite a few people with higher powered weapons and ARs that have no business owning them. I wouldn't trust them with a 9mm.

Unfortunately in this case, it doesn't look like it mattered what type of gun the lunatic had. The response time/actions of the local police to the incident was horrible. They basically gave up the two adjoined classrooms that he was in after being fired upon on initial approach. Rather he had an AR15 or a handgun in this case, he was going to do serious damage as he did. I can't imagine how horrible it would have been for the parents looking on seeing the police doing nothing. Took over an hour for the guy to be took out and that was only after the boarder tactical unit decided to ignore the local police's call to still wait.

Look at you feeling threatened. You admitted to using dogs to hunt so you throw false accusations to feel better LOL. No dogs or corn here buddy, not even a crossbow. I hunt mature bucks in their bedroom, with a compound.

Not at all........you threw the first insult!

Youre the typical still hunter......trying to act like your way of hunting takes more skill! Its obvious you have nevr experienced dog hunting before. But carry on with......my bowhunting is far superior to any other methods! lololol

As a lifetime hunter, I dont understand the need to ban any guns!

I 100% guarantee you, if I wanted to commit a mass murder, I would choose a 12 guage semiautomatic shotgun. Using #4 buckshot and 5 shells, that would be 215 .25" pellets flying thru the air. One could wipe out an entire classroom with out a reload!Fact!

Its not the gun.......its the shooter!!!!

A lunatic will find a way to get a weapon

You are right about this. I am a war veteran but I own no guns. However I fully support the 2 admendment. The big problem trying to solve this is the left screaming about their non sense to gain political points. SECURE the schools. Start with only one entrance during school hours and a capable qualified guard at the door who has been trained in fire arms.

Bout time for some internet policing…….no way this kid shouldn’t have been picked up before this incident.

I’m good with big brother looking over my shoulder on the internet, it can and is being done every single day anyway……beef it up, make some laws and go pick these folks up when they announce what they are getting ready to do, even if cryptic.
We all know what that looks like and a persons rights to free speech and bear arms goes out the window at that point.

Except for the trained guard part I believe all the schools in our region follow the one entrance policy, I picked our grandkids up early from school last week and even at the main and only available entrance I had to be buzzed in…….I can’t imagine the guilt the teacher that propped that door open in Texas must be feeling now.

I’m not opposed to having our military involved in school safety in some type of way….we are fighting a war to save our kids from being shot and until the mental side is addressed I have no problem seeing them protect our schools……far fetched but not really at this point.

Zero and I have batted things around on here for years and I’m 99 % in agreement with him most of the times, I don’t really agree with the stance on not banning certain guns from certain people because some people just aren’t qualified to use them mentally or physically……To own those types of guns I think there should be a minimum training requirement similar to a drivers license or specialty cdl license but for that level of gun ownership.
We all can drive our cars and trucks because we have a license, only a percentage of us that have gone through the training and have the right license can drive air brakes, haz mat etc………wouldn’t mind seeing this implemented in some way with certain guns for civilians.

Won’t solve or address the mental side of this issue but will weed out the obvious unqualified candidates trying to get one legally…..this kid bought his legally as I understand it, ridiculous that can even happen.

Pennsboro32, I see your point regarding “Prevention“. No argument from me.

Of the 27 mass school shootings (where four or more are killed) so far this year I haven’t a clue how many were killed with a pistol. But I would suspect more pistol deaths than you might think knowing its 27. Oddly enough, we all have heard about the ones with an AR or resemblance rifles. That said, I highly doubt all 27, or anything close to 27, have been with an AR or resemblance rifle. Furthering, out of the 693 mass shootings (four or more killed) in 2021, I would suspect more of those to be with other forms of firearms other than an AR or resemblance rifle. Its not the gun itself, it’s the mad man with gun pulling the trigger.

Its nice to have a civil conversation about this topic.

Trained guard is not necessarily Military. I meant trained with the use of weapons. Several men at our Church have that training and we have a guard at every service. They take turns, of course no weapon is exposed. We have two buildings and lock the doors after service starts. Shame things have to be this way.

We also have a bus ministry with the kids and we assure parents of their safety.
