Ya but just think how many LESS school shootings there would be with NO FUCKING GUNS BROUGHT TO SCHOOL! Imagine that.
Not possible. I'm sorry, there is just no scenario in which guns at school are removed as a possibility. And again, kids in the US are 20x more likely to be killed by their parents than by a gun at school... so it's already pretty darn rare.
Merely your opinions But, yes this is one line of defense and an important one. There are avenues to fixing the problem and I have discussed many of them. This is one of them.
I shared one with example....there are many others. Or the permitted kid gets shot and and the shooters have yet another gun and more ammo to further kill students with.
Nah, I'm not deflecting...that's what Republicans do. I'm noting one part of what can help in the bigger picture. Holding parents responsible will help among other things to curve the numbers.
I don't think lack of guns and ammo is a problem we've run into. And in every other situation you can point out, the argument can be made that an armed person could have ended it sooner, thereby saving more lives. Simply saying, for every positive there is a negative and vise versa with gun control. Legitimately. It's not as cut and dry as so many other issues that we could be focusing on, which have been proven to be so much more effective. Just feels like chopping off our noses to spite our face.
I don't think so. It's not really enforceable without giving up so many other rights that it's not worth it. If your 17 year old wants in your gun safe he's going to figure it out. We've seen school shootings where exactly that happened. And others where it could have easily happened. Many times the parents are among the victims.
They also could have made the situation worse running in guns blazing trying to take out the shooter. That's why police don't do that at schools immediately.
Giving up rights? Parents are responsible for their kids. If their kids take their guns to school they should be held responsible. Such as the Wisconsin shooting.
Tektronix would not allow us to bring guns to work nor even keep them in the trunk of our car in the parking lot. That company was known for it's brilliance. Draw your own conclusions.
I believe the Wisconsin parents are being held responsible, are they not? If not, then yes I agree they should be. But I don't think we need any more laws on the books to hold them accountable.
Well, the ones who jump through the hoops required to get a concealed carry permit would almost certainly be better at it than average. And their training would ve VERY current. That's certainly the case for adults, as concealed carry holders are the demographic with the lowest crime rates.
