A Third Grader Eyeing the Classroom Door

[martin]

When those at this forum went to school, most of us anyway, no one worried about the door being locked to keep the class from getting gunned down. We force children today to endure that thought as a tradeoff for a wide open gun culture. Is it worth it?

We used to eye the clocks. Now they're eyeing the doors.

yes.

Earl groans when he feels pain, like many people. Like no one else at this forum, Earl announces his pain. He deserves credit for this one. It should be painful to envision today's third grader seeing his or her classroom door as a last
defense against the daily mortal danger.

yes.

And explain to us exactly why is it worth it

When did elementary aged kids getting slaughtered by a guy with a semiautomatic weapon become a “deep state orchestrated” event?

Back in my day if you wanted to kill a bunch of students you joined the National Guard like a REAL American!

Just kidding, I'm not old.

Guns, never, doesn’t say much for us as a society if we allow little kids getting massacred by semiautomatic weapons to pass without notice. You are correct, nothing will ever be done, Sandy Hook proved that, but it still demands attention to point out the disgrace

Precisely. Guns haven't radically changed in the last 50 years, but American society has. There are massively more single-parent households. The quality of education has foundered. Punishment of children has become a joke and kids know it. Society has become emasculated. There's lots more, but the point is that society has changed for the worse and we are seeing the results of that today--including gun violence.

Than at any stage, when did elementary aged kids getting slaughtered by a guy with a semiautomatic weapon become a “deep state orchestrated” event?
