I dont understand why so many do not want to address the real problem?

Why dont people want to address the root problem which is WHAT drives a person like Ramos to pick up a weapon and kill children ? What caused a Black Supremacist domestic terrorist like Darrel E Brooks to run down all those people, children included , at the Christmas massacre in Waukesha? Dylan Roof shooting all those people IN CHURCH? On and on and on. Would stricter gun laws help? Maybe,...but I doubt it. They would simply use a knife, a car, a bomb like the Jihadists in Boston did, ect ect ect. The actual root cause is what needs to be addressed.

It’s the scapegoat problem. In any society even remotely as large as ours there will be disturbed people who, given easy access to weapons, will act out their misery with them. We’ve had repeated incidents of exactly this. People across the world ask what is wrong with America?

Easy access to guns.

Why don't you explain the specific root instead of asking for a consensus of what else it could be where nobody can define kinetic absolutes in social narratives dividing up people to perform as typecast characters on a world stage?

NEW: Uvalde doubled its spending on school security since 2017.

It hardened the school — hiring its own police force, installing fences. It created a threat reporting system & brought in social workers.

It happened anyway.

LOL. Hardened? We know now the kid walked in an unlocked door after shooting at witnesses at the funeral home for 12 minutes (12 minutes of shooting outside the school and nobody thought to shut and lock the doors), then was able to shoot folks in 4 different classrooms. What I described would have made this very difficult, as the metal doors would be locked, they would not open unless someone opens it for them using the buzzer, only one door is an entry... and the resource officer would also be there.

Seriously. An armed guard would really have helped here as well, but this jackwipe (nobody should name this idiot, it isn't against the rules but don't give this evil asshole any fame) would likely have been stopped by a simple locked door. Just locked doors would have likely kept this evil from happening.

We protect adults in the justice center better than we protect our children, we protect our money better than we protect our children, and children are still more valuable than both.

Please. I'll just keep responding to you if you don't. Please put me on ignore and take the rest of your disgusting redneck scum with you.

And we ARE taking your guns, asshole. It's done.

Yawn. Still have my guns. What is taking you so long?

[LurchAddams]

Yawn. Still have my guns. What is taking you so long?

Have you done your daily "blow your load" on your guns - you know - where you lock yourself in your mom's basement bathroom and jerk of on your guns? Dude, you're gonna gum up the works. Knock that shit off, perv.

Go to Venezuela if you want socialized medicine.

Carry food...and batteries.

Socialized medicine is the standard for the entire civilized world. It's absence here is what precludes us from becoming civilized.
The US is an embarrassment.

[Lionfish]

There were police in the school. Your argument has failed. What's that like, by the way? I have no idea.

Were there? As of this morning, we have not gotten any solid information.

Fuck off troll.

[PostmodernProphet]

Bullshit, we do not have that. and that is not what "privacy" is, I can get all the medical records and information I need and I am just a PI attorney.

don't lie, Jarot......demmycrats would go ballistic you could access this kids juvenile record.......or his mental health records......

[Lionfish]

Fuck off troll.

In other words you know I am correct. Get back to us when you have facts.

Absolutely. The governor ran away from his press conference refusing to answer questions. He's done.

[PostmodernProphet]

No, just stop selling them, its a start, these kids are not very sophisticated, if the are not newly in their homes, they might have a harder time getting em.

oh for fucks sake......you people are all bellowing about how easy it is to steal guns.......don't tell me you plan on leaving 350 million of them lying around to be stolen........

It's moot. The little bastard had no mental health history. Besides that Abbott defunded mental health in TX and they are now last. Abbott and most Republican politicians are such evil fucks.
