You're delusional and fooling yourself if you think it can't happen there in a private school.Some us us realize it’s a mental health issue, not a gun issue. That’s why I’m paying a shit load of money annually for a god damn preschool ant a private school and avoiding the public school system you lunatics have your claws in.
I feel for the families that don’t have the means.
But I think I’m doing far more to protect my son by getting him away from the school system the lunatic lefties have their grips in, than anyone would ever be doing by taking guns away from law abiding Americans.
You’ve designed a system to produce these results, and want to use that as an excuse to ban guns.
don’t blame you. you’re kids aren’t totally safe at any school is the sad truth.Some us us realize it’s a mental health issue, not a gun issue.

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.BS ya nutty azz Retardlican.
There is LOTS that we could do.
Tougher background checks that restrict access to purchasing AR15s if you have a mentally ill teen in your home.
Red flag laws that allow the temporary removal of those guns if a judge, police, therapist and school judge the child a danger.
Hire more school resource officers across the country.
Install metal detectors in every school.
You are a perfect example of why Republicans have become a clear and present danger to the health and safety of American women and children.
The Blue Wave is coming.
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.
Tougher background checks are already in place shit for brains.BS ya nutty azz Retardlican.

It can also happen at a music show, grocery store, mall, fast food restaurant, parade, or anywhere people gather.
There is ZERO chance you send your kid to school and they come home trans. There is a much higher statistical chance they come home traumatized by gun violence or don't come home at all.... Yet you clowns spend all your time on trans issues while completely IGNORING the Number One killer of children in America.

There were many meetings about this, many discussions about how to end the scourge of small shampoo bottles in hotel rooms in Illinois:
From the article:
A new law, signed by Gov. JB Pritzker (D) last month, will ban hotels in the state from providing small, single-use plastic bottles containing personal-care products to lodgers or guests using a hotel’s public bathroom.
The law, called the Small Plastic Bottle Act, says personal-care products include shampoo, hair conditioner and bath soap intended to be used in the shower and defines a small, single-use bottle as one under 6 ounces that’s not intended for re-use.
The law goes into effect beginning July 1, 2025, for hotels with 50 rooms or more and beginning Jan. 1, 2026, for hotels with less than 50 rooms. A hotel in violation of the law would receive a written warning for a first offense and a fine of up to $1,500 for a second and subsequent offenses.
Scum doesn't care one bit about the Migrants or the US citizens. They only care about power forever, the complete OPPOSITE of a democracy. But you already know this.

I agree with your last point - the parent should definitely be charged and I like what GA is doing. I also find it a little disturbing that a poster who was an educator (has Sam said he was a special ed educator?) uses the word "retard" on here regularly. My son has a learning disability and it is BS for people to use that word.Tougher background checks that restrict access to purchasing AR15s if you have a mentally ill teen in your home.

So in your authoritarian view...a parents right to own a gun ceases if he is judged to have a mentally ill teen in his home. Do you really believe that?
How about if its a tranny kid, by definition mentally ill, should that parent lose his 2nd amendment rights? Are there other rights that you support taking away if there is a mentally ill person in the home? How about a "retard" using your word?
I kinda like doing what GA looks to be doing. JAIL the parent who does not take measures to secure his guns (assuming he didnt) after the authorities have paid you a visit and told you to do so. Sue the parent into the dirt. Take his house, car everything...if a court and a jury of his peers finds him negligent and liable.
Sambo is a Govt School teacher so that implies he is not a bright bulb and protected by a teachers union.I agree with your last point - the parent should definitely be charged and I like what GA is doing. I also find it a little disturbing that a poster who was an educator (has Sam said he was a special ed educator?) uses the word "retard" on here regularly. My son has a learning disability and it is BS for people to use that word.
But on to the main point - I wonder if there is a way to support a middle ground on the 2A issue you flag above - if the mentally ill kid is suspected of making a credible threat, could the guns be taken away for a period? In other words, the guns are not taken away just because the kid is mentally ill, but because he/she has threatened violence with guns.
Putting illegals over Americans. Yeah, Liz. Join the anti-democracy party. You are just a stain on the country.Liz is right. Trump is the greater of two evils.
A perfect example of the stupidity of govt.Liberals are always ready to tackle the big issues.

I am sympathetic to your argument....BUT....in this case the FBI actually paid them a visit with threats that the kid had made. If the kid threatened to take a car and to plow into a school bus and this was made known to the parent and they did nothing to secure their keys or car from the kid....then that is entirely different IMO.But do you stop a parents right to defend their home because a kid made a threat? Posted something online?
Where do you draw a line where the kid is showing off, goofing off, or actually capable of shooting up a school?
How often are school shooters totally off the radar?
If my guns are locked up, and I have the keys to the safe hidden, and my teenager finds them or finds a way to break into the safe, and then goes and shoots up a school, I should be charged? I probably failed as a parent, but not sure that one is going to hold water.
If a 16 year old takes their parents car without permission and plows into a school bus, do you charge the parents? Even if they made an online threat of their desire to plow into a school bus.
Like I have said before, you ain't gonna stop crazy from being crazy. You might delay it, but if someone wants to shoot up a school, they are going to find a way to engage. The defense has to be a barrier between them and the kids in school. More security, curtail access, and thorough student searches.

I mean, is that democracy? Wanting illegals to vote? Is that democracy, not vetting illegals? Is that democracy, open borders? Is that democracy, banning free speech? Is that democracy, health care and Medicare for illegals? Is that democracy, drivers licenses for illegals? Is that democracy, replacing American jobs with illegals? Is that democracy, housing illegals over the American Veterans and homeless? Is that democracy, using the legal system to go after your political opponent? Is that democracy, lying about your political opponent being in with Russia? Is that democracy, not properly protecting a Presidential candidate? Is that democracy, borrowing so much money for stupid stuff it causes inflation? Is that democracy, flying thousands upon thousands into the country from other countries secretly? Is that democracy, throwing out the President running for reelection and appointing someone that has not been voted for? Is that democracy, not picking the best persons for jobs but pick them according to race and gender? Is that democracy, bailing out arsonists? Is that democracy, defunding police so we aren't as safe anymore? Is that democracy, attacking a religion? Is that democracy, banning the freedom to bear arms? Is that democracy, killing living babies that are human beings?
Funny how Putin is mocking Harris. Even he knows how stupid and weak she is. All the way to Russia. Yet 48% of our population are too dumb to know it.
I am a Republican. My wife is a Republican. My children are Republicans. We are all healthy. We were even more healthy under Trump. We are also very smart.Republicans are a danger to the lives and health of the women and children of America.
If every citizen has a right to own a gun then why do we put age limits on who can purchase guns? Why do we have any laws at all pertaining to guns if it is our god given right endowed by our creator? Hell just let any kid walk into a store and buy one and if they do something bad then we can have them deal with the consequences afterward, right? When I say I am good with tougher background checks for buying a gun all I am saying is that if someone does have a history of being mentally ill or violent in their past (felony or not) then I think that a gun store owner should have access to that information and based upon that they can refuse to sell to that individual. Not all Republicans are 100% throw guns to every single person regardless of who they are and what they can do with them. Personally walking into a restaurant last week seeing the 40-50 something year old trash of an individual walking around with his old school revolver posted on his side that responded to the cashier "My Mom is paying"....god given right or not doesn't give me much hope for only the competent good guys having access to any type of weaponry.Bad news. You're not "100% Republican on the issue" after all, unless it's in name only.
It's not about being "afraid of a deeper digging" so much as when is deep enough and how will that information be misused and misclassified later. There is MORE THAN ENOUGH (if not too much already) information given for these background checks currently. That's not been an issue. Consistent enforcement of existing laws has been and continues to be the issue
A citizen has the right to own a gun and defend themselves and others. Period. If that citizen uses the gun for criminal activity, they have the right to be shot if they dont cease the activity and put down their weapon, and if they live have the right to lose their right to own a gun upon conviction.
I know people have watched a lot of TV shows and movies with invented and creative "gray areas" that seem to make it hard to know what's right and what's wrong, but the reality is a lot more black and white than gray.
1) Convicted felons can't own guns.
2) Guns are defensive weapons. Using them against another human outside of defense and protection is not allowed except in congressionally approved war/conflict.
3) Giving a gun to someone known to be a criminal, mentally ill, or mentally/chemically compromised, and/or that you know may use it to harm an innocent person is illegal already. It's a prosecutable offense.
That covers all of the scenarios we've encountered. The problem is enforcement. When the president of the United States gives guns to known criminals and a citizen of this country is then murdered with that weapon and THAT PRESIDENT is not prosecuted for the crimes they've committed, the problem is NOT THE LACK OF LAWS. It is lack and criminally negligent enforcement of the existing laws.
THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
Two main factors. Policy and age. Biden was down as far as he was because people who voted from him in 2020 were abandoning him. For those two reasons, his decline and Gaza. Kamala isn't a hundred years old, so that brought back all those voters. She was VP so has plausible deniability on Gaza. Remains to be seen whether she'll put her foot in her mouth there, but so far many of that demographic are back onboard too just because she isn't Biden.
Wait til the all-but-inevitable revision lower.
The number one killer of children in America is by firearms.I am a Republican. My wife is a Republican. My children are Republicans. We are all healthy. We were even more healthy under Trump. We are also very smart.
