I think we should make a better effort to regulate what people can get firearms before we regulate what fire arms people can have.

I dunno, why not both? Gun control works, Canada is proof of that, anyone that argues otherwise simply isn't looking at the evidence.

There’s been a lot of debate lately about whether more guns in schools are the answer.



I think we need to give a gun to every child K-12. That'll learn 'em skool shooters.

Yeeep. Stoked as hell. Next we'll hopefully see the police get demilitarized.

Quote:
On Friday morning, a gunman opened fire at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas. Multiple fatalities have been confirmed, said Santa Fe ISD police chief Walter Braun.

At least one suspect is in custody and another person of interest has been detained. Explosive devices were also discovered on the high school campus and surrounding area, according to Braun.


Three months. It's only been 3 months since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School...

Weird there isn't a topic about this we can expand on and be critical of one particular group of people.

Eruos think it's fashionable to blame every American for the attacks on school children and I'm the cunt. LOL.

Nah, I don't get any thrills out of exploiting murder at the expense of others.

But feel free to fuck off yourself.

Another student, Damon Rabon, told CBS he looked out of his classroom after hearing loud bangs and saw the shooter. "Black trench coat, short kind of guy, had a sawed-off shotgun," he said.

Great, inspired by Columbine. He used bombs, too. :disgust:
The fact that this chart even exists is fucked:

Hmm, I wonder if there's a correlation? :dork:

It's a shame that these statistics exist.

Stop and frisk goes down and murder rates go up. :dork:

“Surviving high school” has a whole new meaning these days :smirk:

I wonder if Nightshade is torn right now between his love of military weaponry in residential areas and having to send his kid to elementary school with a bulletproof vest and combat helmet.
