Our school went into lockdown the other day because a parent made a threat against an employee. Of course in our classrooms we didn’t know it at the time. Teachers dutifully locked their doors, moved their students to the safest part of the classrooms and most of us stood at those locked doors with whatever we could find to use for a weapon...everything from lab barstools to the spirit stick (a very well made wooden tomahawk) that I had. I would have preferred my Ruger 9mm. The Rambo nuts are the side of the issue you guys want to highlight (I don’t deny those mindsets exist) but in reality most of us just want something more than a wooden tomahawk to protect our kids.
Besides the obvious put downs and other bunk in the above, most of us have jobs. Kind of hard to stand guard when you’re at work. Kind of hard to take time to "protest” and fulfill responsibilities.So why aren't they protecting us? Why do these mass shootings continue to occur and there's never a gun hugger anywhere to be found?
Maybe it's because they're all too busy sitting at home yammering their pro-gun crap online all day.
Want to help either end or at least lower the number of the kinds of incidents that happened in South Florida last week?
Take action, gun nuts!!!
Get off your €£¥@#$!!!
Organize!!!!
Form a nationwide network of community based, citizen protection groups!!!
Contact local officials from school boards, local govt and law enforcement. Get them involved in the process.
Come up with a plan.
Begin a recruitment drive.
Include background checks as part of the process for applicants.
Then, start standing guard outside our public schools, churches and public events.
Yes, we’re listening. Society hasn’t been paying squat for gun owners. What society has been paying for is the breakdown of the household ... you know, two parent households, nuclear family, etc. Society has been paying for the lessening of the sanctity of life through various avenues of which abortion is only a part. Society has been paying for becoming a more and more Godless society over time. So yes, we’re listening ... but we’re not agreeing.Society has been paying the price for your selfish obsession for too long!!!
Now it's time for you to start pulling your weight!!!
Hello? Are you listening????

I have a neighbor that is a gun control advocate. He's the type that adheres to mindset that if you support the 2nd amendment you have the blood of the victims in Florida on your hands. You've probably seen that type on JPP. After having discovered that he was one of those types, anytime I go to the range or a friend's 20 acres to shoot, I make sure I unload the guns from my car when he's outside in his front yard. He's never said anything to me directly but I do get some looks.

If that is indeed his argument, I would agree with him. The background check to buy the gun isn't adequate if you are going to put that individual in charge of protecting others.
You would need to show evidence of training with the weapon being used while guarding others. Safety, threat awareness, etc...
I would not want a first time gun buyer/user to be put in the position of guarding others without some formal training.
