Might be late on this, but did anyone catch the NRA press conference with the awkward interruption from the screaming lady?

edit: and they blamed video games lol

Edit again: here's the video

Well, then you make an exception to the law for schools classed as violent. What about elementary schools, like Sandy Hook? Are you worried about elementary students overpowering their teachers to take a concealed gun away?

I WANT to say something sarcastic, but that would lead to my being banned, and the idea of several PA state troopers being murdered, after all the other high-profile shootings, is just ****ed up.

Grabbers celebrating a shooting while to trying to make a responsible safety minded organization look bad. What else is new.

Grabbers here should be called dodgers don't answer no questions on the issues just want to make jokes and ban guns. F the Dodgers. Call me if you ever really want to discuss it ill come back to this thread then.

We had staff, to handle things like detention, people coming late, people being sent to the dean.

The 4 to 5 cops were on campus for the gang members who were stabbing each other every few weeks.

Why would it have to be a student who goes to the school necessarily?

RE: the bolded... I'm not sure what "violence" has to do with anything. Adam Lanza wasn't violent, neither was the VT shooter.

Troopers have non life threatening injuries. I was reading some other article a few days ago and they list casualties as anyone wounded for some reason then make a note to separate fatalities. Makes titles like that confusing.

It would really help if you would spell out the argument you're trying to make based on your evidence. In the absence of that, here's another map, which would be pretty important for interpreting yours correctly, for a number of reasons.

edit: this is better

the NRA really dropped the ball today. they had a moral obligation to join the national discussion on what steps should take place to finally bring the 2nd amendment into the real world. but instead they called for putting armed policemen in America's schools. their disconnect is criminal in a way.

and what gun nuts like you will never understand is that no one is celebrating anything. We are putting it in your face so you can't ignore it.

Also, LOL saftey organization

The day before this shooting there was a piece in the local paper here about wanting to get the police out of schools. The complaint was it was criminalizing things that in the past were just kids being kids (arresting kids for things that in years gone by they would have been sent to the office for). I am guessing they changed their minds about wanting the police out.

After the NRA School Protection Militia has a representative present at each school, I wonder if they would have enough 'down-time' to maybe hold a gun safety class or two. Might want to bring along a membership form or two just in case as well.

the temperance movement manage to gain traction by going after this same blindness in play. It's a ****ty movie (but her tits were glorious), Tommy Lee Jones in Under Siege explaining a movement vs a revolution. The latter just keeps coming back.

Okay, I'll look it up. Even if you're correct it still stands that 67% of mass killins were from fire arms.

First, paragraphs please.

It is not disingenuous to say that banning certain types of video games would be a fundamental shift in the history of our first amendment. On the other hand it has only been in the last 30-40 years that the supreme court has interpreted the 2nd amendment as a means to allow what it allows today.

The reason I would not yet consider censoring all forms of media in favor of gun control is because we have seen gun control work in other countries. Other countries that have the same violence obsessed cultures. I'd prefer to have a gun control system like Japan.

Literally everything in this post is exactly 100% the opposite in the real world.

There are half a dozen state troopers at my nieces' winter program, k-6.

I'm sorry, I assumed what you were saying was a followup to the business about public schools being violent hellholes; that the concern was that a student would overpower a teacher with a concealed weapon. So are you suggesting that someone like Adam Lanza would know, ahead of time, which teacher he needed to overpower in order to get the gun to carry out his massacre? And that this would be an approach that he would take to carry out his plan for mass murder? I just want to clarify that that's the scenario you're worried about.

Video games are rated, people under 17 can't purchase violent video games. Also, there are tons and tons of people who play violent video games but never hurt anyone. Blaming violent media is not the answer in my opinion. Other countries play the same games as us but have much less violence (COD is the most popular game in the world).

Where I live, elementary schools go up to 8th grade. 200 lb 8th graders aren't uncommon.

I hate the whole "i used to agree with you X time ago, but now i have changed my position" line which is trotted out to basically say "i used to share your opinion, but after X time passed, i thought about it and changed to my position, therefore i must be correct, think about it, i thought of what you thought of, and then after some time passed, i changed to what i now think of now, i must be right!"

I used to agree with this but after growing up and much study of all the evidence I came to the conclusion that you're wrong.

Cite? I thought starcraft was way more popular due to the koreans

Nominal disputes are so much fun. Sandy Hook is K-4.
