Why gun violence research has been shut down for 20 years

Quote:No, he isn't. Saying teachers who are qualified should be able to carry at schools has nothing to do with making them "Rambos",

Nope..that's what he proposed. That's his great answer to school shootings---turn 20% of school teachers into Rambos who can take down mass shooters.

Quote:hat requires more than "All you have to do is hold down the trigger and wave the gun back and forth." So this seems like you're just backpedaling in an attempt to cover your obvious ignorance.

LOL! That's what a bump stock does moron. The video showed it all. 900 rounds per minute.

No, you confusing leftist headlines for the truth. But we're all familiar with your intellectual honesty deficit.

No, it isn't. Thanks for continuing to prove your ignorance.

You're down to reciting the mindless motto of Trump himself---fake news. Didn't take long to expose your hidden allegiance.

Headlines don't have to be "fake" to be hyperbolic.
I don't have to like anyone, who promotes policies I like, to agree with them.
I don't eschew baths because I dislike Romans. Me liking baths would be irrelevant to my dislike of Romans.

But people who go in for identity politics and guilt by association are that dumb.

I think that if someone is psychotic enough, he/she will seek out ways to carry out violent plans, if that's what is on their mind. If all guns were banned tomorrow, this guy and others like him, could still find one on the black market. The problem with current gun laws, is that there aren't stringent enough boundaries or ''red flags'' that pop up, when a mentally ill person is attempting to purchase a gun. Hopefully, due to this recent shooting, those laws will change. But, the FBI and police, collectively, dropped the ball. This guy should have been arrested eons ago, and never should have even made it as far as he did onto that school's campus. He simply shouldn't have been walking the streets at all.

Absolutely. If he had been committed, the current law would have kept him from buying a gun.
People think the government can always protect them, but it's often a break down of governmental bureaucracy that is the real loophole (like the recent failing of the armed services to report people who shouldn't own firearms to the national background check system).
