Look.... I'm a Dem that owns multiple guns. I'm not against guns. I'm not even opposed to people owning AR15s.As much waste that happens in the school system I think it would be plausible for every school to have a metal detector leading into the school or when you first walk in no doubt. That to me is the biggest need in all of this and could have prevented a large majority of what has happened.
Most kids that do this haven't been diagnosed or flagged by any system so there's no way of knowing beforehand.
Districts around Kentucky have been hiring more resource officers and pretty sure its law now that there has to be one in every school.
I'm good with tougher background checks for anyone buying any gun honestly. Why would you be afraid of a deeper digging if you don't have anything to hide? Just my opinion and I am 100% Republican on the issue.
I'm just opposed to mentally ill kids or adults owning AR15s..... Or having access to them in their home.
Just don't see why Republicans can't understand this.
It's not JUST mental illness. You will never stop that from happening. The only thing we can control (as much as possible) is trying to limit access to those weapons by mentally ill persons.
Tougher background checks.
Tougher red flag laws.
NOT taking guns away from sane, law abiding citizens.
This isn't F'ing rocket science.
