    A stunning video that shows that many "good men with a gun" are unable to stop a single bad man with a gun.

    Once again: the ONLY way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is to remove as many guns as possible. To make it as difficult as possible for them to get their hands on a gun!

    This is obvious. It's not going to stop ALL shootings. But it will reduce the number of shootings or, at the very least, the number of people killed in each shooting.

    Yes! The guys were incompetent. But these were trained cops! To believe that a guard or... some have even claimed that a teacher, with a gun is going to do any better is ludicrous! What WILL works, as it has worked in other countries, is to restrict accessibility to guns.

    And, before you ask, I had already posted some ideas on how to do this.

    You can go outside and scream into the air about guns until you are blue in the face. Just realize and accept that fact that guns are going nowhere. There’s nothing you will ever do that is ever going to change that.

    Andrew Philip Kehoe, killed thirty-eight children and six adults. Didn't fire a shot at a human, deadliest act of mass murder in a school in U.S. history.

    Imagine reading a report about inaction of very well equipped law enforcement due to them being scared of one individual with a very powerful rifle leading to the death of numerous children while they waited for an hour — and this is your response. smh

    Gun safety programs will be implemented eventually, people will get sick of it and the children that lived through sandy hook — they start voting this year.

    And...

    Were you trying to make a point that would be of any relevance to this thread?

    What? Columbine happened in 1998-1999. They were already teenagers then. They have been voting nearly 20 years already. Lol

    wanna bet. We are close to making guns inoperable. There are weapons [emitted fields] you can use to ensure a gun in the area will never fire.

    Another possibility is that we can cause any ammunition in the area to discharge.

    Sandy hook, care to comment on the premise or need to seize on the inaccuracy?

    I included a link in the OP explaining how access to guns can be restricted. And I am pretty sure most of them will be implemented in the next few years. I doubt you'll have any comment about those, given that you obviously only came here to root for the guns.

    Every time one of these school shootings happens, there are more and more people out there who feel a personal connection to one of the victims. It's unfortunate that that will be the path to common sense but, before this happens, there will be many more school shootings.

    But now the swing is large. Guns will be banned in a generation.

    Guns are going nowhere. DC can pass whatever legislature they please. They will never be able to enforce it. Cats been out of the bag far too long. Good luck collecting 400 some million weapons.

    No but I am a physicist.

    It's coming. I've been involved in the research.

    Course we can make you piss your pants and feel like your skin is on fire too. Child's play.

    I find it shocking anyone could believe this. What are gun ownership rates today, compared to 10 years ago? 20?

    I have no clue either way just hoping someone else will look it up lol

    Sure, in your blue dumps, which they already are. They aren’t going to control what people can and can’t do in red states. We will ignore it. Just like you ignore the abortion rulings. There’s nothing you are going to do about it.

    The other route is to detect a weapon at a long range. Walk through the city with a weapon and the cops will know and know where you are in about 5 seconds

    I didn’t realize you speak for every young person out there. You’ve got it all figured out, huh?

    Scared of what, exactly? I’m sitting in a purple state that just turned red again with extremely lax gun laws. When is this happening exactly? When is it coming? 2356 perhaps?

    No point, just like banning guns. Are your trying to make a point, or just a Michael Moore wannabe?

    Ah. the most superficial of all gun advocate arguments. Anybody who is even moderately informed about what is being proposed knows that there is no need to "collect" anything.

    For a minute there I expected a serious argument from you. Clearly ain't gonn
