I’m more convinced than ever that the television is poison too those who constantly rely on it for news and their own opinion. If you can’t differentiate right from wrong the tv is not what you need.Because the same 18 year old can join the army and be issued an actual assault rifle. Not only that but bombs and other destructive items. Turn off the ****ing tv already.
Here is one.LOL! I love how you used the game as an excuse though. We just scored again. It's 10-1 in the bottom of the 8th. I think we're safe.
There is nothing LEO can do, they’re not omnipresent and we don’t want to turn our country into a police state do we?
First thing we need to do is to stop excusing bad behavior as a mental illness to be treated with medication. Return discipline to the rearing of children and stop medicating them.
I’ve always known you weren’t very smart by your posting style but this is next level stupidity and quite frankly as sick as the SOB that did it. You should be ashamed and after reading the posts of you and your like minded friends, I’ll always remember you all as the scum of VN
And anotherLOL! I love how you used the game as an excuse though. We just scored again. It's 10-1 in the bottom of the 8th. I think we're safe.
It's not a crisis and you have ZERO data to back up your claim. I have posted ACTUAL data that shows a huge spike in psychotropic drug prescriptions for adolescents. A spike that correlates with the increase in these events yet you refuse to even acknowledge the possibility of a link.
Not even 30 years ago it was even easier to obtain a gun than it is now, gun ownership was higher than it is now and these mass shooting events were almost unheard of. That's hard data showing it's not the ease of access being the cause.

Guns are not the symptom nor are they the problem.
Are Children and Adolescents Overprescribed Psychiatric Medications?
So you're saying that one problem is that children are being over-medicated, and we should just spank them more?
That seems a little too simplified... but it is at least an answer.
Outside of shotguns I believe it should be 25 for rifles AND handguns. The reason I say that is because if we are going to put an age limit on gun purchases, it should be at a more mature age. 18 isn’t as mature as it used to be. Neither is 21. Hell, 25 is questionable but you gotta start somewhere.Man, and 18 year old kid just bought 2 ARs legally and slaughtered little children. At the very least you should agree the min age should be 21.
I don't think there is one root cause. This problem resulted from a perfect storm of causes which have created a "gun culture." Ease of access is only one small part of it. I will post links to sources which describe this "American gun culture" in more detail.There is more. And my theory has legs where as your claim that ease of access is the primary problem has been debunked numerous times.
Key word is “he”. He could have used any platform and it wouldn’t have mattered if no one caught it in time. It is a logistical nightmare for program writers to put in all key words that someone who is crazy would use. We all use language we don’t mean literally and we would all be caught up in that security network of words that flags people.
We live in a world where we teach our kids to get offended by stupid things like their "preferred pronouns" and then people wonder how hurt feelings lead to horrendous massacres such as this. It's not the guns.
I understand what they did. I understand it wasn't heroic. I understand it got more kids killed. I understand they chose to secure a crime scene rather than saving kids. Thanks but no thanks. If I ever find myself with my kid in that situation. I just won't say anything and will simply sprint into the building. I'd rather be killed going in rather than live being held back. The police are more worried about not letting the shooter get away rather than stopping the carnage.

That all being said I’ll argue that you shouldn’t need to be any age according to the constitution. 2-A doesn’t say “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed after the age of 18”.
I don't GAS if this happened in Mayberry, every school and local law enforcement agency in the country should have these procedures and have them drilled. If that timeline is accurate its a colossal **** up by the school and sheriffs department.
