    You have a lot of partisan complaints for someone complaining about partisanship.

    high schools and junior high often do, just not all the time in small towns. Elementary schools do not have full time armed police officers.

    There is armed security at those conventions.

    Or a car or a spoon. That’s how you sound.

    Probably? Why qualify it with "probably"? I'd like to hear the argument that we can constitutionally "ban all guns."

    So, you're lying when you say you don't want to ban gun ownership?

    Guns.


    Again.


    Once again, our laws and their level of enforcement were unable to prevent this tragedy. Using data from 2020, we experience, on average, one death by gunshot every 12 minutes in the United States of America. 45,000 deaths by gunshot in 2020.


    Guns.


    Again.


    Regards. Stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

    I actually don't understand how this could happen at an elementary school.

    I live in Texas I don't know of an elementary school you can walk into. Their doors are locked at all times. My kid is in an elementary school and I can't just walk into the school at any random time...all doors are locked.

    So you admit that disarming civilians increases the level of security.

    Thank you.

    No, I'm pointing out that the poster's claim there are no guns allowed at political conventions is erroneous.

    Are you a policeman? A secret service agent?

    No.

    If you want to attend a Republican convention, you have to leave your gun at home.

    Don't you get it?

    I grew up with guns more accessible than they are now
    and we didn't see all this. Something is wrong with our national values. What the hell makes people so these things?

    But, it isn't a gun free zone. The Democrat convention sure as hell isn't...lol

    So, this crime happened in the heart of Texas. Not some liberal commune. So much for superior methods of safety. If it happened there it could happen anywhere!! I think it's time to come to terms with the fact that schools are vulnerable everywhere and it's too much to ask to secure our schools across America. It can't be done.

    The school is a gun free zone. How could this possibly happen?

    You can repeal the 2nd Amendment to accomplish this if you really want to, but I don't know that you'd be comfortable with only police, the military, and over 110's having the right to keep and bear arms.

    Yep, the left got another tool in their political warfare, they're probably preparing their speeches this very minute.

    Congrats. Like a good lefty, never let a crisis go to waste.

    He supposedly had a hand gun so we already know he didn’t obtain it legally. The laws did not allow him to get the weapon.

    Yeah. Cars, bombs, poison, there’s a lot of room to grow on that. We’re not banning any of those, obviously since banning things has never worked.
