    You said we haven't hardened anything else. We've hardened plenty.

    Everything is protected with guns. Airports, every corporate building in every city, every politician.....everything.

    Yet protecting our schools with the same thing is a problem?

    And by the way, there are a lot of schools that have either been arming staff for a long time, or have started arming them....they just haven't had a mass shooting.

    People will find a way to kill people if they want to and you can't do anything about it. Heck, I read recently that knife crimes and stabbings are on the rise in England. They gonna have a crackdown on butter knives there now?

    No. There were shootings in and around schools, or targeted killings against a specific person.

    Same thing happened in the neighborhood I lived in. It was a nice, safe, middle-class area that they came in a transformed a bunch of apartments into Section-8, and now the place is known as "Town-n-Compton", and obviously play on it's official name of "Town and Country". It's a crying shame, especially when you consider that during the time it was going to sh*t, the rest of the country was getting safer and safer.

    There are many theories about why crime took such a radical reversal starting in the 90's and up until the "defund the police" movement gained traction, but the one I've heard that made the most sense is that babies who would otherwise have been raised unwanted in crappy families were aborted instead, because the timing (1973-1991) matches almost perfectly to when those unwanted kids would have reached their prime crime committing years.

    My point is that you don't have a point. You owning 2 sniper rifles and 2 trench clearers makes you as bad as anyone else.

    You ever want to go murder someone when the gun is in your hand? It ever whisper "REDRUM" in your ear or anything?

    Guns are not the problem.

    It wasn't a "gotcha" question. It was one desired to point out the fact that you don't have the first foggiest clue what it is you're talking about, and to see if you have the balls to admit it. Which you didn't.

    I don't listen to subject matter morons about something that I happen to be a subject matter expert about. I do like pointing out their disabilities, though.

    maybe try buying one at a shop and tell us how you didn’t have to do a background check. Cuz, you have to do one. How did you not know that?

    False. They have to pass a background check to buy a gun.

    If their criminal behavior is not documented, then the background check will go through.

    Reminds me of that leftist reporter that tried to show how easy it was to get a gun, and got denied due to being an alcoholic wife beater.

    Oh yeah, here it is:

    I went decades without using a fire extinguisher as a civilian.

    Last year one saved my house.

    Wow, you really had to jump for to come to that conclusion because it's not related to anything we're talking about. You said we sold our souls to China and I said they also sold their souls to us so how you came up with that comparison is something only you would understand. To others, it makes zero sense.

    Well, if it's relevant to use elsewhere is what the debate is. I don't think so. If I did, I would get a weapon that came with it. You seem to like to make a lot of alterations to yours.

    For an expert you didn't point out crap but you did admit it was a "gotcha" question.

    Gee, it's almost like the gun manufacturers have a reason to help more mass shootings happen...

    The last go around they were blowing out by the pallet loads! Whoever said "Biden is the best gun salesman ever!" would have to argue Obama is a close second.
    Obama's DoJ tried and failed to frame honest gun dealers into selling guns to the Mexican cartels and Eric Holder got away with ignoring a subpoena from congress. Due to separation of powers, his statue of limitations does not apply. So arresting Holder can be payback for the House arresting Peter Navarro.

    No, I didn't but you never really grasp the meanings to posts anyway.
    Why would there be a need to.

    quite a lot in ERT schools. Thousands of rounds per week. This is standard practice also with schools done with the military. All in an effort to keep the civilians safe! What do your guys do for training? Please don’t say slingshots and marshmallows.
