Well we got this week’s school shooting in the books early

[Earl]

Another one with the “show and tell,” wow, shows the depth of why it is nearly impossible to attain real reform to addresses school shootings, “bring new guns to school to show their friends,” beautiful

The point went two miles over your head.

I posted that in years past, previous to about 30 years ago, guns were brought to school with no children being harmed.

Try to focus on this, Anchovies, the gun used in Nashville did not drive to that school and start firing itself.

If guns were the problem, there would have been mass school shootings prior to 2998.

History of mass shooters | School shootings

VOA News

The first K-12 mass shooting of the modern era occurred in 1989 in the schoolyard at the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California.

This started about three decades ago.

Before that, there were guns available to most people and there were no mass school shootings.

Ah, “earl,” it is not when they started, but the nearly weekly escalating occurrences that seem common today, and this ain’t the 1950’s

As I’ve explained to you numerous times before, in dealing with realities, there are three common variables to all school/mass shootings; the shooter, the target, and the gun. No can predict the next shooter, and you can plan to defend the targets, but there are too many to defend them all. The only controllable variable is the gun

Ain’t rocket Science

schools are already gun free zones...........so apparently you can't control that variable at all.

[SmarterthanYou]

What does that mean? There is another tragedy and kids getting shot at school. You are speaking NRA, not logic and common sense. Guns are part of the the problem that can be cured.

gun laws only affect the law abiding.........criminals will always be able to get a gun. the only solution to shootings is to shoot back.

interesting....posting..........style............. .............

Jumped on it cause it is a tragedy, a preventable tragedy, and it is one occurring at an alarming rate in what is supposed to be the most civilized nation in the world. In most other nations it is tragedy, here, as American as apple pie, other than Nashville, will probably be old news a week from now

the solution(s) you propose will do nothing to prevent those tragedies........i've given you the solution.

[SmarterthanYou]

Tragedy should spark change calculated to preventing it in the future, ask the parents of kids killed.

the checks and balances of our federal form of government was designed to avoid knee jerk reactions to tragedies.

Well, Anchovies, my point is that something is different from prior to 1990.

It’s not the availability of guns, they have been available for decades prior to 1990 when the first mass school shootings started.

Nor could Babe Ruth hit all those home runs without a bat, wasn’t the bat did it, but sure as hell made it possible

School is the target, the gun, the vehicle that makes it all possible

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

[Earl]

I know, arm the kids

No one has suggested that, Anchovies.

Arm a trained adult to confront school shooters.
