I know, arm the kids
“knee jerk reaction,” wanting to do something to end kids getting shot in school is a “knee jerk reaction”
Guns also allow law abiding citizens who never commit a crime with their guns to defend themselves and their families.
It also allows them to sport hunt and feed their families or target practice.
If you want to ban guns, you best bring your lunch. It will be an all day job to kill the Second Amendment.
Of course the answer to school shootings, or shootings anywhere, is to harden the target. Have someone who can fire back.
Right, something is different, going to school can be life threatening, and thirty years ago we didn’t have the proliferation of guns in the society, today we go more guns out there than people, more lethal guns, and more are being produced by the hour
No one has suggested that, Anchovies.
Arm a trained adult to confront school shooters.
See you people are so obstinate you don’t listen, no where did I say anything about banning guns, I could care less if some guy wants to shoot Bambi, am looking for regulating access to guns
Regulating access to guns does not violate the Second Amendment, if it did, we would never have had any regulation of any firearm of any kind
And if more guns were the solution the US would already be the safest gun violence nation in the world because we have more guns already out there than any other developed nation, yet we still lead those nations in gun homicides/school shootings/mass shootings
That’s not true, Anchovies.
There were millions of guns owned by private citizens prior to 1990.
You know better, you are just falling for the far left, knee jerk response.
Harden the schools, have a trained adult at every school in America to fire back.
As someone has already posted, if you ban guns, you ban guns for law abiding citizens.
The criminals who use their guns illegally will always have guns.

Your post, Anchovies:
“Already have, you just can’t accept the reality, control access to guns, as I said, not rocket Science”
Controlling access to guns...if you can not access a gun, you have banned them.
Af no time did the number of guns in America outnumber the number of people in America, nor was there such a proliferation of more deadly guns
And how did arming people work out in Uvalde
Controlling access to guns is not banning guns, do I need to cite Webster to show you the difference between the word “control” and “ban”
Not true, Anchovies.

Jul 14, 2018 — Guns were much more readily available in 1950's America than they are now yet we have more school shootings. Why? - Quora.Bb
Control, to the left, absolutely means banning guns.
The left has been trying to “control” (ban) guns for more than a century.

Then if it's true that, " you always have the street", and I don't necessarily disagree, legislation won't help. Preventing things like this in the future would require confiscation.

Can a person be a "liar" in regards to their opinion? This just seems like one of those situations where leftists just label something to give themselves permission to avoid dealing with it

We can't have the current America and safe schools at the same time.
Those trying to have both are impeding progress.
Choose or shut up is my attitude.
The right has already chosen the current America over safe schools.
My colleagues on the left have more trouble being decisive, and it disappoints me very much.

Actually as a boy scout we shoot .22 rifles
I would re-ban Simi-automatic weapons from sale or import into the United States. I would have ref flag laws that set criteria by law determined by judges.
Leftys have guns too. Most of them do not want to ban guns. I am the exception. There are crazy people who will blow up and do harm. We make it easy for them to do massive damage to groups of people . It is impossible to psychologically profile everybody. The part of the equation we can control is the availability of guns. We should do some work on registering people. You should have to qualify to
obtain a gun. You should pass classes and have training. Gun owners should carry insurance for the potential damage they might cause
We have a 2nd generation of children going through the trauma of school shootings. They have to practice active shooter drills. What is that doing to the kids? It is cruel. We can prevent that.
