Florida School Shooting

[Sparko]

It's kinda like they don't take the safety of the kids nearly as seriously as they do the control of guns!

well if they actually prevented school shootings then they would not have any ammunition for their gun control mission.

[Sparko]

I assumed Sparko was talking about the people running the school in this situation - not the mondaymorningquarterbacks on Tweb.

More about the professional political anti-gun pundits. The ones who go on TV and advocate for gun bans, using tragedies as a guilt trip to get their agendas passed. And the politicians of course.

Here's another study that uses a more liberal definition of "mass shooting" (three or more injured or killed, as opposed to the CPRC study which defined it as four or more killed):

Conclusion: "Gun Free Zones" have been a disastrous failure.

Liberal response: "We need to expand the size and scope of 'gun free zones'! "

It's kinda like the "war on poverty", and why we're losing that - if they ever actually got serious on this, they wouldn't be able to con a bunch of poor people into voting for them to keep doling out money.

That's a problem with the armed security solution. Their competence or resolve can't be tested until it's too late.

A great argument for letting civilians arm themselves.

More details emerge:

Right. All that and the result: It's the gun's fault! Ban the guns!

[Cow Poke]

This school shooting is turning out not to be such a good "poster boy" shooting for liberals. While they do their best to make this all about gun control, there are so many other factors there that are screaming to be addressed.

The "child" should have been arrested on numerous occasions, and would have had a criminal record, preventing him (supposedly) from purchasing a firearm.
It was the "keep them in the schoolroom, not in the courtroom" liberal philosophy that kept him from having a criminal record.
Rather than have "armed teachers", the liberals insist on "armed officers" - this school had at least one, and he hid.
The teacher/coach who TRIED to intervene was unarmed, and died trying to save the kids.

I doubt any of these lessons will be learned, though - because the rallying cry has to be "ban guns".

Even GMA* is lamenting this morning that there were more failures here than "a kid had a gun".


*it came on after the morning news, which my wife likes to watch before leaving for work It's off now.

It nevertheless puts the lie to the argument that armed personnel on campus would be a solution to the problem.

Ok, so...serious question.

A spree shooter walks into a school and starts shooting. How do you stop him without armed resistance?

This assumes he doesn't see the "Gun Free Zone" sign and immediately walk away. Is that really a plausible scenario?

I saw a graphic the other day that claimed that 92% of mass shooting have taken place in gun free zones.

This is why conservatives get angry at the liberals when it comes to gun control. They pontificate on guns while knowing absolutely nothing about them.

Listen to this:

"The AR-15 is more lethal than the M-16 and the pentagon wanted to use it in Vietnam instead of the M-16"

Wow, what a moron!

I'm telling you, man...A(ssault)R(ifle)-15. It's so obvious, it's even there in the name!

This is about as idiotic as your claim that one of your own, who was anti-NAMBLA, was actually a NAMBLA supporter, Trumpman. How do you get so many things so profoundly backwards?

No no no!!!! AR stands for....
