    A bullet proof door, that deadbolts from the inside, would have saved lives.

    P.S. Where are you getting the info about the security guards on campus?

    You don’t care about children at all, only those killed by firearms. Child abuse, car accidents, poisoning, none of those are on your radar at all.
    Agenda maybe?

    Some will hate me for this:
    "Not Sending Their Best": World Map of IQ Drop Due to Immigration

    Mexico has not exactly been sending the "best and brightest" segment among their population. The ones who are illegally crossing the border into the US tend to be the less bright ones and more generally criminally inclined. This will probably leave an impact on the genetic pool.

    The same way it is believed the population and culture of Australia is of a slightly different character, even to this day, because the continent started off as a colony for Great Britain to send all their criminals. (Something that Australians joke about, but it is funny only because there is a partial truth to it)

    So they can carry a fully automatic weapon in war and kill people at 18. But he can’t be trusted with a shotgun when he gets home?

    Exactly what do you think would have stopped this tragedy? Because so far you’ve offered nothing.

    Uuum. Everything. Apparent mental illness? Oh, it’s not merely apparent. It was guaranteed. Transgenderism is a mental illness. You don’t even know what gender you are or body you belong in. It’s a major malfunction. He was a sick puppy.

    many on the right want to treat the 2nd like a privilege that can be revoked rather then a right - same with voting

    Not even close to accurate.. but okay



    The area wasn't gun free, there was a state trooper on the scene who got in a shootout with the gunman before he entered the school. In fact multiple police officers were outgunned. Plainly put, the guy wasn't carrying a weapon designed for self defense, he was carrying a weapon designed for offensive force.


    We have a 21st amendment, yet federal law still says you have to be 21 years old to buy alcohol. Why should an 18 year old be able to buy an assault rifle and high capacity magazines, isn't the 2nd amendment intended to be well regulated?

    So why isn't this a common problem in other first world countries?



    The gunman wasn't transgender... but okay


    The gunman was a US born citizen... but okay


    Guns are the number one cause of death for children in the US

    https://time.com/6170864/cause-of-death-children-guns/

    The second most common cause of death is vehicles, which is something that we legally require licenses, speed limits, and seat belts to operate. Perhaps we should have similar requirements for guns?.. or we can make guns as commonly used as cars, and trust that the numbers won't go up any more

    was he?

    "MAGA Congressman falsely blames transgender person for Texas school shooting"

    https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/05...mes-transgender-person-texas-school-shooting/

    "Gosar appears to have lifted a photo from a transgender artist’s Reddit account and the claim quickly spread across far-right websites and MAGA followers."

    The 21st Amendment only gives the states the authority to control alcohol sales.

    You can get a driver's license at 16. Are you sure you want the same requirements for guns?

    The problem isn't guns. The problem is too many criminals on the street.

    Not true, federal law requires you to be 21 years old to buy alcohol

    I said similar requirements, not the same requirements. You didn't actually think I was saying there should be seatbelts and speed limits for guns did you?

    Of course I would actually take requiring a license for everyone and allowing 16 year old to have a license over allowing any 18 year old to buy a gun without a license

    I would compare the ar-15 to buying a tank to drive down the road vs a normal car

    They worked so well that the government had to pass a new law that makes it a mandatory life sentence to possess an automatic weapon while in commission of a drug crime.

    License requirements are unconstitutional.

    We already have license requirement for fully automatic rifles, how is unconstitutional to do the same for semi-auto assault rifles or high capacity magazines?

    it's harder for a 18 year old to buy and drive to school - oh wait, you said 16 year old

    Because the NFA is unconstitutional. You can't tax a right.
