I hear conflicting things on the laws, and frankly don't know enough about them to answer. I'm guessing my opinions on how strict laws should be are somewhere closer to left leaning than right. I also think people tend to call for things to be implemented into law that are already laws. There's...

I'm also a firm believer in consequences for the person/parent that gave them access to the gun. If you're a shitty enough parent to not at least sniff out the possibility that your kid is capable of doing something like that, and then take precautions to make sure he can't get your guns, then...

I've been saying this all along. Most of the time people read what they want to read.

Yes again, of course gun deaths happen when there is access to guns. Bill Burr does a great bit where he makes fun of the stat that most shark attacks happen is shallow water. Of course they do. That's where the people are. Showing gun stats of a country who has very little guns and a country...

The main problem was that she wanted to shoot people and die. A secondary problem was she had access to a loaded gun.

Interesting. I have never seen it used in the "raising a different issue" way. Only the counteraccusation way. Still tho, I made an analogy. That's not the same as raising another issue.

It's a pretty big school but not huge. Really big schools night need more than one entrance. Weren't you involved in the talk earlier about finding root causes? I gotta say, you're coming off as one of those people who don't want to talk about root causes. I feel like you would call someone...

One thing to consider about with Australia. They aren't sharing a border with Mexico. Making guns illegal in America will just open up a door for smuggling guns across the border. We would definitely have less guns overall. But 100% of those guns will he owned by the people we don't want owning...

Not to mention, little kids love seeing cops so it's not like it would be some traumatizing event for them. Anyone who shoots down an idea like that clearly cares more about getting rid of guns than they do solving problems.

My kids use the one entrance policy. There's nothing wrong with it at all. And guards and metal detectors are used to protect adults in local court houses. There's nothing wrong with that either. I thought we were looking for ways to stop school shootings here?

Please stop saying that stupid word. For one it's the dumbest word ever created. For two you're using it wrong. Whataboutism is used to belittle someone who's calling out hypocrisy. Not for when someone makes an analogy.

One person's logic is another person's lack of thinking skills.

Also one way onto the school with a medal detector and an armed guard at the door would probably stop most school shootings. There are plenty of ways to make schools safe that aren't being done.

I've owned one hand gun for four years and shot it once. I don't even have a dog in the fight. It's not like I'm some gun junkie who couldn't live without them. I've also ate two weed gummies in my entire life. That's the extent of my drug use. But I'm a firm believer that a war on guns would...

If guns weren't a problem in the past but they are now, and if guns have been around the whole time, then that means it's something else. I understand how you can be really short sighted and say "they used a gun to kill someone so if you take away the gun, it won't happen" (and you would...

The problem with that logic is the USA has had guns forever. School shootings is a recent issue.

I should have put meant in quotes.

Other things we can do is lower speed limits to 25 mph, eliminate motorcycles and off road vehicles, make sky diving illegal, make swimming and recreational boating illegal.... All that said, yours isn't a bad idea.

Taking away guns would obviously help reduce gun murder. The question is does it reduce total murder. If the option is getting stabbed or bombs going off everywhere, I'd prefer to get shot.

This is a big issue for coming to a conclusion. Pretty much 100% of people who shoot up schools are going to be considered depressed so likely they will be on meds. One way around it would be find another country with guns who doesn't issue certain medications for depression the US does. If...
