Active Shooter Killed At Nashville School

[engineerVOL]

Just my pet peeve of people typing "thoughts and prayers" after tragedies as if that does anything, its a "look at me" action that excused any real action. That's all.

That’s precisely what you’re doing, though. I agree, can’t be too sure of anyone’s motives, but in this moment that is all one can do.

“Assault” ignorance.

dictionary ignorance,

 

[hog88]

Different sitch, dont you think? Otherwise why have amendments?

What needs to be done is figure out what drives people to commit these acts and fix that. Nothing you or anyone else have put forth as a solution will do anything to stop mass killings.

 

[KB5252]

That's the reaction of people who don't want anything significant to be done about these shooting. Let the pain -- and the impetus to do something -- fade.

No, that's what people with agenda do to stir up support for a knee jerk reaction that likely wouldn't have stopped this person from hurting others.

We can't ban guns.

The left uses it as a wedge issue, so does the right.

Common sense is the victim.

 

[engineerVOL]

Prob genuinely fed up with the status quo of “I’ll pray for you but I won’t do anything to actually help you”

I understand this, I do.

I hope he is feeling at least a small sense of shame today.

Why would he? I must've missed where he shot someone.

 

[C-south]

Nobody as far as I know.
I'm of the opinion that the threshold of feelings of shame do not begin with "shooting someone."

So what should he be ashamed for? Supporting law abiding citizens rights?

 

[VolStrom]

I'm waiting for the psychologic history of the shooter to come out, something that we used to lock people up for now we just turn them loose on society to become homeless drug addicts and mass shooters.

 

[bignewt]

Keep trying. Whatever it takes.

What would be your next proposal? If it didn’t work.

I would suppose we could rank the list as least infringement onto your rights to most and work our way down until revolution.

Eight pages of mostly arguing about guns when the real problem is mental health and the nutjobs who commit this violence. If they didn't use a gun, they'd just use something else. A bomb, a knife, something. We focus on the wrong things.

 

[Ttucke11]

you mean the ones that were used to "assault?"

I hope my pocket knife collection doesn't decide to become assault knives.

I believe many on here have proposed a rehaul and emphasis on the mental health system.

 

[screenthis]

You ever stop to think what you are accomplishing by antagonizing people who say that? Is it just your “look at me” action?

Not sure how that is antagonizing. Thoughts and Prayers are good but the poster is right. We need finite actions that will actually help prevent so many school shootings.

That’s too difficult.

 

[bignewt]

I hope my pocket knife collection doesn't decide to become assault knives.

If you stab someone, I would consider them as such at the time.

Appears once you're done there will be nothing left to fight a revolution with and it would have been carried out by those we'd need to fight. Convenient

I suppose. That’s going to include us going with your scrap the constitution plan though.

 

[luthervol]

The exercise of my rights doesn't cause school shootings. No one has the right to harm another.

It's just that the exercising of your right makes it more probable that others will be harmed. But hey, "don't tread on me."

 

[bignewt]

Eight pages of mostly arguing about guns when the real problem is mental health and the nutjobs who commit this violence. If they didn't use a gun, they'd just use something else. A bomb, a knife, something. We focus on the wrong things.

I agree with that but its foolish not to admit that the guns are the easiest and preferred method.

 

[bignewt]

I suppose. That’s going to include us going with your scrap the constitution plan though.

Well thats towards the bottom.

 

[Orangeburst]

Who decides if someone is mentally ill?

Who decides if someone is mentally ill?

Are they a Florida fan? Strike one.

 

[utvolpj]

No it does not do that. You're blaming people like me for the actions of criminals.

 

[luthervol]

The shame should be with the person pairing the 2 unrelated images together to further an agenda

Most do not view them as unrelated........that's the point.

 

[bignewt]

You ever stop to think what you are accomplishing by antagonizing people who say that? Is it just your “look at me” action?

Maybe I will make them think for a second, if that's antagonizing then the glove fits.
