Look, we clearly don't have enough guns, and that is the problem. Because that's how logic works. Like if you are too fat, what you need is more food. 

I think we can all agree that if the skinny people ate more food that would solve obesity.

 

that is essentially the argument they are asking us to swallow (no pun intended)

Because admitting that would mean the dirty Libs are right.  Can't allow that!

If everyone would just stop having children, eventually the school shootings would stop. 

[yoladu 4066]

Oh and the minute it was announced the shooter was a female, the right desperately wanted it to be a transgendered person, as if that made one hill of beans to the victims and their families.

and if this piece of shit turns out to be transgender, it really is irrelevant to the core problem of mass shootings in this country, but it will be shiny object the right can focus their faux outrage on.

Maybe we should install these in every classroom in America so the libs will leave assault type weapons alone:

• West Elementary School in Cullman has installed $60,000 bulletproof rooms inside two classrooms, a first of its kind
• The ballistic wall is designed to act as a whiteboard when it is not deployed, laying flat against the walls, but can be deployed into a room within 10 seconds 
• It is equipped with a handle-less door, to protect students from a shooter entering the small saferoom from the outside, and is abled to be locked inside

Just three kids reported dead, so really not that bad. I mean, it's about 85% better than Uvalde really. I'm sure the parents will just get over it.

That's no tragedy! How many kids do you lose on a normal school day? 30? 40?!

Wrong. On the 7th day God created AR-15s, not queers!

But what about the kids in the hallway or in the cafeteria?  What do you do in those 10 seconds when deploying when the shooter is already in the classroom? 🤔

meanwhile on Texags...

it's really unbelievable..

Aggies offer the uncut, totally un-selfconscious dogma of the dangerous right. 

Same guy. The usual complaint about their omnipotent, omnipresent God being shoved around.

Lastly, we get how an Aggie cuts to the core of a problem.

The problem is your LBGTQ community so famed for it's violence and general threat to society. 

I don't like going to Texags for politics because this shit is so typical, but sometimes it's good to know exactly what typical is for so many millions of Americans.

I'm not posting any of this because it's funny as one might do on the recruiting or football boards. This is mortifying.

What do you do when someone just waits for school to get out and mows the kids down right outside?

This will never stop unless something is done about the guns.

Has to be done.  

SMDH ...

[Satchel 6908]

Reports are that a team of five ran toward the area where shots were heard. Contrast that with recently released video clips of armed officers in Uvalde who ran from the area where shots were being fired. They were afraid of the gun power possessed by the shooter, even though they were similarly armed themselves.

The Uvalde cowards could have attacked through two doors and the windows. The risk would be spread and the element of surprise would even further reduce risk to the armed men who have taken pay to do just this.

As you state, the armed officers of Nashville did their jobs under likely more dangerous conditions and easily eliminated the threat. 

Aside from my state being anti-republic, the Uvalde "event" is perhaps my biggest shame as a Texan in the current century.

Can you imagine the fear of the kids and teachers who lived or died as this craziness played out? Nobody, even armed police officers, wants to be shredded to death by ammo from an assault weapon. As a country we should be ashamed that we permit this kind of avoidable carnage to continue, but we’re not. The rest of the civilized world must look at us and think, what a morally bankrupt bunch of exceptional people.

anyone who rushed to see who the shooter was has already completely lost the fucking plot.

And the folks on the right will feign concern. Send thoughts and prayers and continue to vote they always do. Like clockwork.

that's not his POV. His actual POV is that he can support red flag laws provided that they meet an evidentiary threshold that is higher than what's required for a murder conviction. @fattyflattie I want to be fair here, so feel free to clarify. 

This isn't a call out. I just have every expectation that this will wind up being another potential red flag situation.

Anyone who voted for her should eat a bullet from a AR-15.

So if it's a normal white dude like the rest of the mass shootings, we can blame guns then? 

MTG needs her ass kicked. She is beyond reprehensible. 

[BevoAbyss 2057]

That Texags thread shows the clear power of unchallenged Christian propaganda, from birth to college and beyond.

The thread also shows the inability of secular/science education to counter the sacred scrolls and fact-free fables — which serve as an all-purpose template to blindly interpret all of reality, along with past, present, and future events. That's the template for 40-50% of Americans and it's effecting a massive intellectual collapse.

2 things:

1) This country needs stricter gun laws.  It is shocking how easy it is to acquire a deadly weapon.  Even more shocking to see mentally deranged have such easy access.

2) When are we going to start treating trans people for what they are... mentally ill individuals. 

Even if your second point was true, we don’t pay much attention to the mentally ill, much less treat their illnesses.

The ones that he registered with a non-extant governmental entity?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

[YGIFS 19449]

even if it were true that being a trans person meant you were mentally ill.  Why advocate for selling that much firepower to someone you think is mentally ill?  

If receiving gender treatments makes you mentally ill, would that be to some of you like say some kinda "red flag"?  
 

My god, what if there are other warning signs that a person may be unfit to open multiple assault rifles?  This is huge, this could reframe the whole Bill of Rights!  

*sigh* 

Some of you are close to being capable of critical thinking, but there are some hurdles too high I suppose.

For trans people - "definitely too sick to have access to guns."

For repeat spousal abusers - "sHAll nOT bE InFrINgeD!1!!!"

GTFO here with that shit.

[C-Man 27046]

I'm sure it's been discussed but the shooter apparently had another target (school, I presume) in mind but shifted to the school she attacked because the first one's security was tighter.
